Mariana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Mariana and apart from being a full time college student I also work at a non- profit organization where I mostly volunteer with elementary at the age of 14. A while after I was hired as a staff childcare associate where I would take care of a mix of infants, toddlers ,and elementary aged children. A couple months later I got promoted to childcare coordinator where I am the lead teacher for 4-5 years olds. I am also first aid/CPR certified. Some quality services I can offer for the children is: picking them up from school, cleaning up after them, making them breakfast and making light snacks for them throughout the day, and make sure they are clean and tidy. I am also willing to do light cleaning through the house for a little extra charge as well as get groceries/ pick them up for you. I am willing to do many things to help you and your family out!

Elvira Antonia $50 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Alviso, CA

Warm, playful, and dependable caregiver with 18+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, including infants. After recently working on a developmental milestone project, I felt called back to what I truly love most — helping children grow, learn, feel deeply cared for, and making everyday life feel lighter and more supported for parents too. I love bringing warmth, laughter, creativity, music, outdoor adventures, and calm positive energy into a home. I’m naturally very hands-on and happy to help wherever needed — whether that’s nurturing little ones through developmental milestones, engaging in playful learning, preparing simple healthy meals, tidying up child-related spaces, helping with routines, or creating a smoother flow for the whole family. Families often describe me as loving, reliable, helpful, positive and fun with their children. I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified, have my own reliable car, and speak English, Spanish, and French (plus some Portuguese and Hindi). Currently looking for one more kind, respectful, communicative part-time family who values warmth, teamwork, and thoughtful childcare. P.S: While I was advised to charge $50hr. I am ok with negotiating lower for the right family who really needs it

Hi! I’m Mariah and i’m 19. I’m currently an ABA therapist and work with kids ages 1+. I did cheerleading for 8 years leading me to be very perky and energetic to keep up with busy families/lives.
