Backup Babysitter on weekends only Hello Families, My name is Lia, and I’m a 31 year-old childcare professional living in San Jose with my husband, two hamsters and a Dalmatian dog. I used to work as full time nanny and then during the week as an early childhood afterschool instructor for the past 3 years but I transitioned back to child caregiving recently. I’m passionate about supporting children’s growth and development, with over 10 years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Why Families Choose Me: -Over 10 years of childcare experience, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and pre-teens. -5+ years of experience in the U.S., with a focus on nannying, teaching and occasional babysitting. -Master’s in Early Childhood Education. -First Aid, CPR and Mandate Reporter certified with annual update training. -Fluent in Portuguese and English, with conversational Spanish. -Comfortable with swimming pools, pets and providing light housekeeping (vacuuming, laundry, simple meal prep). -Experience with exceptional needs in both home and classroom settings. A Little More About Me: -Newborn Care Specialist certificate (but I rarely take care of newborns since I also work with school aged kids and need to be mindful of illnesses). -Fully vaccinated (COVID, flu, Tdap and others), boosted, and happy to wear a mask as needed. -I do not drive children, but am happy to assist with local activities and walking distance school pickups if needed. -I bring a nurturing, creative approach to caregiving and enjoy helping kids learn through play and exploration. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help your children thrive. I look forward to connecting with you soon! Thank you for considering me. Best, Lia

Experienced with infants, toddlers, elementary and middle. I’ve been on Urban since April 2015 so please feel free to browse my many 5 star reviews. Background: -While an undergraduate at Simmons College, I studied early childhood education and worked in an urban preschool for two years with Jumpstart, an AmeriCorps project. -CPR/ AED trained and certified by the Red Cross -Oakland CORE certified (Earthquake & Disaster Preparation) -My reviews are nearly all 5 stars. -I live in Cupertino (formerly from Boston) and am obsessed with hot yoga and once upon a time Sailor Moon. I’d be happy to be a healthy influence on your family and assist with household coordination. MY STYLE - Waldorf/ Montessori influences - I encourage creative & imaginative play along with self organizing and cooperation for older children. - For the pre-school and under crowd, I participate in parallel play and getting on the child’s level. - I love taking children outside to play or for a stroller walk. We will read books together (maybe even make one together) and on the whole I’ll be that new age sitter who isn’t too fond of screen time and would rather we go to the playground or explore fractal patterns in pinecones. 😋🌲 Thank you! -Jane
