Booked by 2 families in Mount Hamilton, CA

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.”

Booked by 7 families in Mount Hamilton, 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!

Hello! My name is Rowan and I currently work as a behavioral specialist in special education at a public high school.

Whether that be crafting, outdoor adventures, putting on at-home recitals, or wherever their imagination takes them. I am willing to do all parts of your child’s routine, including cooking, bathing, cleaning, homework help, or whatever is required for your child to be happy, healthy, and safe!
