Booked by 2 families in Sunol, CA

Hi! My name is Emma. I’m a graduate student at Santa Clara university pursing a masters in counseling psychology. My experience with children ages 2-18+ began in 2020 as a freshman in college where I worked in the academic counseling office at my community college. From there I worked with 2nd graders in a school setting, supported teachers, was an intern at a head start school, I transitioned to work in the hospital supporting kids ages 5-9 years old with bereavement. Throughout the years my experience has extended from various settings and I look forward to providing a safe and fun environment for your children! I have my own form of transportation, I know how to make simple meals, and I can clean! I enjoy being outside and going on walks! Note: while I do live in Newark I am very used to commuting and don’t mind driving to different locations!

Lana $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Lana, I am a current sophomore in college. I am majoring in biology and child development as a my minor!! I have two younger siblings, one 7 years old and 11 years old and I’m the oldest cousin in my family. I've helped take care of them when they were infants and toddlers so I have experience with diaper changing, putting them to sleep and most especially playing with them and having fun!! The past 3 summers I have been working with elementary school aged children during summer camp. I typically worked with students from the ages 5-8 years old. I love working with kids and I aspire to have a career that involves working with children.

Himani $40 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caregiver and teacher who brings the vibe of a camp counselor and friend. I’m the eldest daughter of an immigrant family and have been working with children since the age of 7. I am comfortable bringing out my own inner child and creating a beautiful mix of learning and play. This year, I put my teaching skills to the test in the classroom and explored subbing for grades K-5. When I care for your children, I will come with books and games suited for their age level. All other details can be personalized when we meet. Let’s have an amazing day together.
