Hi- My name is Susana, I have been around children my whole life since my mom did a lot of babysitting when I was younger. I had the opportunity to learn a lot of things from her such as supervising children, practicing good hygiene, and organizing age-appropriate activities. Over the last past three years, I have had the opportunity to care for children under the company name Jovie/ Bright Horizon. Working with multiple families throughout my babysitting experience has deepened my passion for understanding child development. Seeing children grow and reach their milestones has been incredibly rewarding, inspiring me to continue making a positive impact on their lives.

Hello! My name is Jessica and I have 7+ years of experience working with children. My accumulation of experience is based off of both nannying (one time/part-time/long term) as well as having been a teaching assistant. My favorite part about child care is creating memorable experiences both for and with families as well as being able to be a reliable source of support and assistance. What I’d say makes me a stand out is that my approach with children is gentle and patient - I am big on reinforcing good behavioral traits and re-shaping those that can use improvement to be a source of empowerment and positive self esteem. In 2022 I became a Foothill College graduate, of which took part in my knowledge of engaging with kids. During my time at Foothill, I took several child development courses and took a grand interest in interacting with them/learning about them. Prior to this, I had worked for a program called STK under the Foothill Deanza Community College District Family Engagement Institute for over 4 years. Essentially, I worked as both and intern and mentor in that program, working with and leading nearly over 20+ children in classrooms per day and training interns on how to interact with children, teach children and engaging with children. Currently, I am attaining my bachelors degree and am enrolled as a full time student. Aside from taking care of children, I have experience with pet sitting! Whether it’s coming to your residence or bringing the pet with me for the time necessary, I could do either or. The majority of my skill set is centered around dogs and cats. If you wish to know anything else about me, please feel free to reach out. Otherwise, thank you for your time.
