Booked by 7 families in Campbell, CA

Hi there! I’m Cindy. I’m currently in my last semester at SJSU and will be graduating this fall with my bachelor’s in Child & Adolescent Development and a minor in Special Education. I hope to become either a special education teacher or social worker so I can continue helping children who need a little extra support. I’ve worked with children for over 7 years, including 6 years in ABA across home, clinic, and school settings, along with babysitting throughout the years. I’m also a foster mom to my nephew, who I love with all my heart. I’m very sweet, patient, and child-centered, so I love following a child’s lead and letting them be themselves. At the same time, my years as an RBT have taught me how to be firm when needed, set boundaries, and follow through consistently. Since I’m currently a full-time student and mom myself, I’m available for childcare on Fridays and Saturdays. I’d love to be someone your child feels safe, comfortable, and happy with!

Hi my name is Mary, in my mid 30s, behavior specialist in dogs and children. I have a very bubbly, go lucky personality. I have been an auntie since I was 15 years old, raising my nieces and nephews since they were infants. I am comfortable with feeding, playing, changing and putting a baby to sleep. I am comfortable with household errands, picking up/ dropping off for school, and pet care needs. You'll wonder why I want to be a nanny and why my profile is bland compared to most. My recent job I was working as a personal aide for a young adult with Autism and realized how much my presence gave my client reassurance and peace of mind. On top of that her daughter felt comfortable with me by her side so she can be independent. If the government had more funding she wouldn't have lost her grant and I wouldn't have lost my job and find another family to help. I did more than just drove her to her doctor appointments and helped make her meals, I was her protector, her voice, when she was crying I would comfort and talk her through it. When she could not talk or voice her feelings, I was her projector, I defended her and protected her peace of mind. I am an open book so please ask me anything, I just hope someone will give me a chance to make their life easier. I have client references to verify my hard work and continuous drive. I am more than just a nanny, I am someone they can trust more than family.

“Mary was incredible for our first parents' night out and took great care for our 2.5 year old son. Mary cooked a dinner and gave us status updates with photos (which was totally unexpected, but definitely appreciated). We really appreciate her approach with a toddler that has opinions :) and her patience was so valuable. Will definitely book again and again.”

I enjoy interacting and nurturing children’s growth and development because they are filled with curiosity, joy, wonder, love, and appreciation for learning from their trusted caregivers about the world. I am filled with gratitude for the 60+ children I built relationships with at Ellis Early Learning and I learned that I do love caring for children and supporting their growth. I am amazed at children’s brilliance and how I can support their physical and emotional development with each day. When caring for and teaching children, I am reminded of these powerful quotes on education and teaching that I carried with me in my interactions with the children: (1) Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela. (2) The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves. - Paulo Freire On a formal note, I most recently received my teacher certification from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care for preschool and infants/toddlers along with other certifications: First Aid/CPR, Trauma and Resilience for Early Childhood Educators, and Early Childhood and Care Essentials. I worked in an Early Childhood Education apprenticeship in Boston, where I was placed at Ellis Early Learning for 8 months and I aced Child Growth and Development at Urban College of Boston. Overall, I am excited to meet with you and learn how I can support the needs of your growing family in a babysitting capacity.
