Hello, I am married and a mother of two daughters, 26 and 31. My 26 year old works as an Events Supervisor 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.

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.”

Nhi $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! my name is Nhi. Currently I have been volunteering as a bible teacher and occasionally help the community with organized events. I’m looking for a part time job at the times I’m available. I want to make good use of my time to help people who need that help and care. I have been working for Care at Home Inc. in the past to help kids with special needs and often also offer to babysit their siblings. Families trust me and find me to be a responsible, reliable, and a friendly person. I followed what parents would prefer me to do and that included walking, aiding, teaching simple lessons, role playing, etc. Before that experience, I also took a class in high school to work with the teachers and took care of kids at the daycare there. But one of the easiest experience I had with kids was when I took care of my youngest sister in order for my parents to work long hours. I felt like I have learn my fair share of what to do and what not to do when taking care of a kid. Even though it can get tough sometimes, it is also very rewarding to see them happy, safe and heard. I love seeing kids being taken care of physically and emotionally so they can grow properly. That means to have proper time to nap, eat, rest, study and play. Because the early years are so important for children to grow and start forming memories I would personally want someone who could see the importance of such when I have a kid in the future. It helps to recall what I have learned from the university in regard to child development. I hope I can help and please feel free to give me tips and feedback as well.

I enjoy working with children, especially just knowing how much they can teach you about yourself and the world around them. I used to work as a behavioral therapist in a variety of settings and manage youth volunteers at my church, and I've learned so much from my time there. I don't mind getting involved in any activity - I'll make sure I'm prepared! Especially dance and art.
