Mariana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Mariana and apart from being a full time college student I also work at a non- profit organization where I mostly volunteer with elementary at the age of 14. A while after I was hired as a staff childcare associate where I would take care of a mix of infants, toddlers ,and elementary aged children. A couple months later I got promoted to childcare coordinator where I am the lead teacher for 4-5 years olds. I am also first aid/CPR certified. Some quality services I can offer for the children is: picking them up from school, cleaning up after them, making them breakfast and making light snacks for them throughout the day, and make sure they are clean and tidy. I am also willing to do light cleaning through the house for a little extra charge as well as get groceries/ pick them up for you. I am willing to do many things to help you and your family out!

Claudia $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Claudia and I'm a patient, warm, and dedicated nanny who truly loves working with children and supporting their growth every single day. 🌟 Originally from Colombia, I bring over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for babies from 5 months old up to toddlers. My experience includes diaper changes, tummy time, introducing solid foods, and supporting key developmental milestones such as rolling over and transitioning from bassinet to crib. I've also helped establish healthy nap and feeding routines, engaged children in age-appropriate activities, and taken them on outdoor walks — creating a calm, loving, and structured environment where little ones can truly thrive. I'm currently based in downtown San Jose and I'm available from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, making me a great fit for morning and early afternoon care. I'm comfortable with pets and I'm a non-smoker. Beyond childcare, I'm a driven and responsible person — I'm currently preparing for my IELTS exam as I get ready to pursue my Master's in Statistics next year. I believe my analytical mindset helps me be attentive, observant, and proactive when it comes to a child's development and routine. I'm also an active person who loves the outdoors — I've recently taken up bouldering climbing and enjoy staying active, which means I bring plenty of energy and enthusiasm to playtime! 🧗‍♀️ I'm genuinely looking for a long-term connection with a family, not just a short-term arrangement. Watching children grow, learn, and reach new milestones is something I'm truly passionate about, and I would love to bring that dedication and positive energy to your home every day. I'm happy to provide references from previous families upon request. I look forward to meeting you! 😊
