"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Booked by 79 families in Alviso, CA
Hi! I’m taking time off from studying behavioral and cognitive neuroscience at UCSD and looking for occasional work. I started volunteering at a daycare that my high school had and fell in love with it. I found kids energy, excitement for life, curiosity, and imagination to be contagious. I am a caring, compassionate, patient person which makes it easy for me to interact with kids. After babysitting for over 5 years and working with different families I have gained experience with kids of all ages. I have CPR training, am fully vaccinated and also had my booster shot.
“Great service, she took good care of both of our kids. Very professional and would highly recommend.”

Hello! My name is Mariana and I am 28 years old. I live I San Jose and have been working as a nanny in the Bay Area for the past 3 years. I first came to California as a live in nanny through the au pair program from Colombia. I have since attended San Jose city college to study the English language, in which I am fluent, along with my native language Spanish. Before that I went to school to become a preschool teacher. I am CPR certified, attentive and very responsible. I take my job very seriously and am always on time. I like to keep the children happy and active, through games, reading, going for walks, playing, etc. I am willing to do light cooking and cleaning when needed. I love working with children and have experience working with all ages. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I’m currently a nanny and have been caring for kids for about 8 years. I also take on little babysitting gigs on the side. I’m a very caring and responsible person who loves working with children. I’m patient and attentive and always make sure the kids feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy what I do and love being someone families can trust with their little ones! 😊 I'd love the opportunity to bring my energy and experience to your family! I also have a profile on care.com
“Abigail was amazing ! It was my first time getting a sitter but she was right on time, confident, and calm. She messaged me throught the day to keep me up to date on what fun activities they were doing which really put me at ease. I returned back to a tidy home and my little girl sound asleep.”
