Find an emergency babysitter in Sunol, CA

Hi! I’m Katie, a 23 year old artist with a BFA in Fashion Design from Parsons in NYC. I recently moved back home to the Tri-Valley and am looking for babysitting roles during this transitional period of my life. I’ve been around children in my community my whole life, taken child development/psychology courses in school (high school and college-level), have worked at a gym daycare for 1 year, and babysat in NYC— so you’re in good hands! A little bit about my childcare philosophy: I am passionate about holistic wellbeing and learning through creativity/activity. I see childcare as a two-way relationship that prioritizes the child’s unique development. I also learn so much by being around children! I’m extremely reliable, honest, and communicative, and will ensure that the parent’s wishes are met, and, of course, the safety of your child. I’m great at engaging children in active play and crafts, if that’s something you would like. I am comfortable cooking/preparing snacks for your child as needed and going through bedtime routines. I have experience working with all ages, from as young as 7 months. I look forward to meeting with you and your little one(s), thank you! 🥰 ~ Katie 🎨🌱🫧❣️🎀

My name is Fernanda, and I am from Colombia. I am university trained and licensed as a teacher in Colombia where I taught children ages 4 years to 14 years old. I am fluent in English and Spanish and for the past 2 years have been employed as a nanny caring for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I am a very patient, responsible, and dependable person who is about promoting the well-being and overall development of children.

With over 2 years of experience as a professional nanny, I bring a deep understanding of child development and a passion for creating engaging, educational environments. My expertise in bilingual communication and behavioral management has consistently resulted in positive developmental outcomes for the children

I have over five years of experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician with children and teenagers ages 2–17. I have supported children with different communication, behavioral and developmental needs in both home and community settings. My experience includes helping with daily routines, play, homework, communication skills, social skills and age-appropriate activities. I am also familiar with PECS, basic ASL, positive reinforcement and safely responding to challenging behaviors. I am patient, dependable and attentive and I always work to make children feel comfortable, understood and safe. I enjoy building trusting relationships with both children and their families while providing care that fits each child’s personality and individual needs.

I am a full time employee as a diesel mechanic at a local tractor shop and a part time student. I also am in the middle of trying to get my own small business up and running. When I am not at school I am hanging out with my family, cooking family dinners or cleaning or maybe even studying for my classes! I have taken three years of American Sign Language in High School. I am not fluent but will be more than happy to try my best if it will come in handy! (Please be understanding I am rusty since I don’t use it much) If you have any questions at all please feel free to message me!
