Hello, I am married and a mother of two daughters, 26 and 31. My 26 year old works as an Events Specialist for TikTok in LA. ; my 31 year old is a Social Worker living in Oregon. I have a full time job working for a nonprofit, Monday-Friday from 8am - 5pm. I have free time in the week day evenings and some mornings on the weekend. I love being around kids and enjoy babysitting for family and friends. If I have any free time I enjoy reading & walking, and volunteering. I have my daughter’s dog Athena who is a sweet pup and we spend a lot of time on walks and playtime.
“Leticia was fantastic. My child had a lot of fun with her. I recommend 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.”
Hi families, I’m Shyann! I’m a graduate from UC Davis with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, and having now completed my studies, am ready to wade into this next chapter of my life. My academic journey deepened my understanding of how children learn and develop, something I find incredibly rewarding to be a part of. I’m grateful to have gotten the opportunity to apply my knowledge and extend my experience with some great families. I come from a large immigrant family with my grandparents alone having over 5 children (my mom’s siblings), so you can just imagine the number of children born each generation since! Me being “older” meant I was the go-to babysitter for my sibling, cousins, nephews, etc., which made transitioning to paid childcare a natural step once I could legally work. Now with over six years of professional experience under my belt, I can say that I’ve had the pleasure of creating strong bonds with a number of wonderful and diverse families. I have wide-ranging experience caring for children ages 0-12 and am CPR & First Aid certified. I am also up to date on my flu and COVID vaccinations and take precautions in public. I have experience caring for children with special needs regarding the autism spectrum, ADHD, and other (physical) developmental delays. Still, I will always be eager, and motivated, to learn to care for the special needs of any children I do not have experience. I absolutely adore children (and pets!) and am glad to help where I can :)
“Very professional. Always on time. Never had to worry about the kids with Shyann. My kids really liked her and always wanted her to come back.”
Hello, parents! My name is Sonah, and I am currently a full-time student majoring Health Information. Before moving to the United States last year, I lived in Vietnam, and had over three years caring for and tutoring children. During that time, I was recognized as a Star Tutor among more than 2,000 tutors at my previous company. When caring for children, I believe their safety always comes first. Beyond that, I believe the way we introduce the world to them is just as important. Children learn from the adults around them, so I am always mindful of what I say, how I act, and the values I teach. I strive to create a safe, positive, and caring environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am fluent in both English and Vietnamese, so a plus, if you'd like your child to practice or maintain their Vietnamese, I'd be happy to incorporate that into our time together in a fun and natural way. I would love the opportunity to care for your child and become someone your family can trust. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I look forward to meeting you!
Hi! My name is Liza and I am a nursing student. I have over 5 years of previous experience babysitting. I am willing to do additional tasks such as helping with light housekeeping, homework, or errands as needed and I have my own transportation. I am also CPR/First Aid certified, do not smoke, and am comfortable with pets.
