My name is Jeweliana, I graduated from Brandman University college in May of 2021, and I received my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education Development. I worked at a Montessori Preschool in California for 4 and a half years. I’m 26 years old and grew up on the Central Coast of California. I have a car (Toyota RAV4) to commute wherever and whenever needed, I do not smoke/do drugs and I'm a responsible young women. I'm dependable, patient, hardworking, passionate, caring and a very easy going person. I've had plenty of experience babysitting the past 8 years with different aged children, have been a nanny to 3 different families and also have experience working in the school district as an aide to a non-verbal student. Working with children is my passion and I love to help children learn and grow while also having fun!
Hi everyone! I have been babysitting for years starting in middle school/high school as I have always loved the atmosphere of babysitting! After graduating with a degree in Biology/Computer Science, I currently I work as a computer programmer during the day. However, I love the rewarding aspects of babysitting including facilitating language development for children through age appropriate discussions, enriching children's activities with educational opportunities, and being a friend for the kids as it is so important for their socialization! I have extensive experience with the essentials of babysitting (meal times/snack times, nighttime routines, playtime, previous CPR/first aid training, etc.) but always love to go above and beyond! I think it is so important to adjust any plans to the individual kids whether they want to have little dance parties, play with small science experiments, show off their Lego collection, talk about their days at school, read together, or share any of their hobbies with me! Each kiddo is unique and it is one of my favorite aspects of babysitting!
Pet Service is my full time job! I am here with the dogs everyday. The pups are able to go in and out when they want to and get all the attention and care they need because of it. I fit my Schedule around our furry guests to make their stay with us the best they have ever had!

Hi! I am a current college student with about 2 years of experience with regular babysitting for close friends and family. On top of that I have worked in child development through the YMCA for the last 2 years as well. I have gained a lot of hands on experience as well as many hours of online child development training. Since my nephew was born I now have many hours of experience from kids 0-1 1/2. I have no problem cooking, cleaning, laundry, caring for pets, etc. as I enjoy helping others keep a clean space, which sometimes is difficult with the hustle of everyday life. I love being outdoors and teaching kids that you don't need a device to keep you entertained. Hoping to give a sense of peace and comfort to any families I work with!
