Valentina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Valentina. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including 2 years here in the U.S. I’ve taken care of newborns as young as 3 months old, as well as toddlers, preschoolers, and kids up to 10 years old and beyond. I have a degree in Business Administration, and I’m naturally organized, patient, and proactive. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where children can grow and feel supported. I’m also CPR certified through an agency-approved course, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I love animals, so I’m happy to be in homes with pets, and I’m comfortable helping out with light housekeeping, laundry, tidying up toys, and preparing simple meals for the kids. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I love using songs, games, and reading time to help kids learn and have fun — especially if they’re learning a second language. Families often describe me as responsible, warm, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being punctual, reliable, and treating every home with care and respect. I look forward to supporting your family and building a great connection with your little ones!

Lena $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm a mother of three and grandmother of two--and my daughter in law is also expecting baby #3! I'm offering child care. I owned and operated my own shipping and packaging service center- and then became a full time stay at home mom! Currently, I am a teacher's aide and noon/lunch duty supervisor and babysit part time, via app. I'm very allergic to cats, and I never use harsh chemicals or scents (sensitive to these) in my home cleaning. I'm available on a part time basis while my children are in school or afterwards, as well as Saturday/Sunday. Currently, while my 13 yo daughter is on summer break I'm available mornings and afternoons and she would love to join me in babysitting.

Olga $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents! I am a mom of a Kindergartener. I am also an accountant, but currently taking a break from working in the industry. I have availability in the late mornings and afternoons during the week and would love to help out with childcare, school pick ups, and after school activities. I am also pet-friendly as we have a family dog and available to take your pup on walks. I love spending time with kids, helping them learn and grow, sparking their curiosity and creativity, and supporting them as they are developing confidence and independence. I will keep your child engaged and entertained by playing games together, doing arts projects, reading books, building with Legos, staying active, or going to the park/playground. I like being active, and as a parent, I have been going with my son on hikes, skating together at the ice rink, swimming at the pool, doing yoga, and most recently roller blading. I am First Aid and CPR certified, current on vaccinations, and recently cleared by SJUSD to volunteer at the elementary school. I have been very involved as a parent since my son's birth, and feel comfortable taking care of children ranging from toddlers to elementary school age. Please reach out and I would love to connect with you and your family.
