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 Parents! I hope you’re doing well. If you’re looking for a reliable and experienced nanny, I’m available now! A little about me: My name is Nantiyapon, but you can call me Joon. I’m currently living in San Jose and have a bachelor’s degree in teacher education from Thailand. I’ve also completed Montessori early childhood, toddler, and infant programs. I have several years of childcare experience, including: • 2 years as a live-in nanny • 5 years caring for children aged 2 months to 15 years, including twins and children with food allergies. My experience includes: • Driving children to and from school and after-school activities (e.g., Taekwondo, sports, music lessons) • Engaging in crafts, tutoring, and educational activities • Working as a household assistant (cooking, cleaning, running errands) • Helping with organization and light housekeeping • Providing date-night care so parents can enjoy some time for themselves A few more things about me: ✔️ COVID vaccinated (Flu, MMR, TDAP) ✔️ CPR certified ✔️ Pet friendly ✔️ Non-smoker, no alcohol, no partying ✔️ Owns a car
“On time, reliable and very responsible. Highly recommend Joon. She can be trusted with your kids.”
Hi I am a loving, caring person. I enjoy singing and drawing. I like baking and being creative. I sing to the little ones they favorite song. I sing lalaby to help the little go to sleep. I usually would draw pictures so the kids can color in. I draw shapes and animals even the to draw they favorite characters. I make muffins and cookies with kids and decorate them with them. I enjoy teaching kids new language and skills.
I am 21 years old and I’ve been taking care of children ever since I was 15, helping them with homework, cleaning up after them, meal prep, school pick up/drop off, to/from activities, bedtime routine and so on. I also used to be an english teacher for kids between 4-11. I have experiences with babies older than 1, that includes feeding them, nap time, story time, changing diapers etc. I am currently taking care of 3 kids under 5 M-F and I’m looking for job opportunities on weekends.
