"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."

I worked for a school district for 6 years and have my college credits on child development. I have also worked with special needs so I have plenty of patience. I have worked with mainly 3 families in the last 10 years that I've lived in San Jose. I have cared for most of them since infancy till they were ready for school. I love kids don't have any of my own and my husband works for Standford University. I hope to be able to have fun teaching and helping your little one :)
“Tania is so professional. we really appreciate her help. Definitely recommend her. will hire her again.”

I have experiences working for several families from different backgrounds. Which allows me to communicate and adjust easily with their culture and values in terms of giving cares to the kids. From newborns to pre-teens, I have given the best care and excellent performance. I have a degree and experience as a tutor, so I am able to help with the homework, art and craft, science experiment, story telling and reading, and doing activities outside the house such as swimming, going to the park, biking, tennis, soccer, basketball, and any other activities that will help your kids growth! I can help with meal preparation for babies, toddlers, and teens. As well as helping with light chores. Please contact me if you have any questions about my qualifications. Will be happy to meet you in person! Thank you 😊

Hi, I’m Terri I have 7+ years experience working with various ages of children and babies and I’m a Silicon Valley native. I’ve grown up helping out with babies to teenagers, I’m the oldest of six and I love animals of all kinds and I don’t mind them in the home.
“She is sweet, punctual, sent me a photo and update while I was away, and did everything to make Tay as comfortable with the transition as possible! He was happy and calm when I returned :)”
Cassandra $27 per hour for 1 child
I am a Child Development graduate from SJSU with 5 years of experience as an after-school teacher. I have 1 year of professional nanny experience, and a couple years of non-professional babysitting for family and friends. I have experience designing and implementing developmentally appropriate activities for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including art, math, and English/literacy-based learning. I also enjoy building strong relationships with children and families while supporting learning, creativity, and emotional growth. I am calm, nurturing, and reliable, and I take pride in creating a positive and supportive environment. I also value open communication and consistency in daily routines. Looking forward to connecting with families in the future!
