Hi Bay Area families,š
Iām Joovana, Iām a mom, a motherās helper, and someone who genuinely loves taking care of kids and helping families.š¤ Iāve been caring for children for over 20 years and have had the opportunity to help more than 100 families through Care and Nextdoor, I have caring for everyone from newborns to teenagers. I was a Sunday school teacher for 8 years as well.
Iām the kind of person who likes to jump in and help wherever Iām needed. Need someone to pick up the kids, run to the grocery store, help with potty training, change diapers, clean bottles, do laundry, fold and put clothes away, tidy up, or even make dinner? Iām happy to help. Being a parent is already hard, while juggling with work, life and family, let me help you!
And if your kids just want someone to hang out and play with them, Iām there for that too! I love reading, playing, getting outside, doing activities, and just being present with kids. Iām not on my phone while Iām caring for them, and Iām happy to follow your familyās preferences when it comes to screen time and routines.
Iām also a mom to 5 great kids, my oldest is 21 and youngest is 3, so I understand how much an extra set of reliable hands can mean! I have a clean driving record, I love organizing and helping manage a home, and most importantly, I really love kids. Oh, and Iām CPR certified!
Whether you need a motherās helper, house manager, part-time help, date-night care, or simply someone to come in and make your day a little easier, thatās exactly what Iām here for. Youāll find someone reliable, friendly, caring, and ready to help wherever you need me. ā¤ļø
I live in San Mateo, and willing to drive up to 15 miles to help you.š¤
āJoovana has worked with our family for more than a year, caring for our son from when he was about 9 months old until he recently started school. She has been a wonderful caregiver and is genuinely loving, patient, and caring with children.
Our son is usually very cautious around people he meets for the first time and normally takes a while to warm up. We were very impressed that Joovana was able to make him feel comfortable enough to nap with her on the very first day they met. From the beginning, she built a very special and trusting relationship with him.
Joovana has been great to work with, and we always felt that our son was in caring and capable hands. Even now that he is in school and doesnāt see her regularly, he still sometimes says Joovanaās name at home, which says a lot about how much he likes and remembers her.
We are very grateful for the care and love Joovana has given our son over the past year and would happily recommend her to other families looking for a kind and dependable caregiver.ā
