Valentina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Valentina. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including 2 years here in the U.S. I’ve taken care of newborns as young as 3 months old, as well as toddlers, preschoolers, and kids up to 10 years old and beyond. I have a degree in Business Administration, and I’m naturally organized, patient, and proactive. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where children can grow and feel supported. I’m also CPR certified through an agency-approved course, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I love animals, so I’m happy to be in homes with pets, and I’m comfortable helping out with light housekeeping, laundry, tidying up toys, and preparing simple meals for the kids. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I love using songs, games, and reading time to help kids learn and have fun — especially if they’re learning a second language. Families often describe me as responsible, warm, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in being punctual, reliable, and treating every home with care and respect. I look forward to supporting your family and building a great connection with your little ones!

I am available to help out families as I know very well how hard it can be to arrange for child care with our busy schedules! I love working with children of all ages.

Booked by 20 families in San Jose, CA

Hi my name is Shobha, living in san jose for the past 26 years I have one beautiful daughter who is 24 years graduated with bio major from UCLA last year. I worked for a large family day care center for a year worked with all age groups like infants to toddlers and I also worked as a Nanny for nine months took care of a baby when he was 7 months old now he is 16 months strong and handsome toddler. Besides this I also offer my services for pick up and drop offs as I have 23 years of excellent driving experience with clean record. I also offer my services for date nights as well as elder care. I am very loving and caring and very committed to my profession.

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Shobha Aunty care for our daughter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she walked in, it was clear that she brings not only experience and skill, but also a genuine warmth and compassion that is incredibly rare to find. She kept our daughter happily engaged the entire time by reading books, singing rhymes, preparing meals, feeding her, and thoughtfully involving her in every activity. Her ability to connect so quickly was remarkable; in just a single visit, our daughter completely fell in love with spending time with her. What truly sets Shobha apart is the sincerity of her care. Everything she does comes straight from the heart. She is patient, attentive, and deeply invested in a child’s comfort and happiness. It’s evident that she takes great pride in her work, and her nurturing nature shines through in every interaction. She is an absolute gem, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.”

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 31 families in San Jose, CA

Hello Families, My name is Dora. I graduated from the University of Washington and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Teaching and a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I come from a family of educators, and working with children has always been an important part of my life. I have extensive experience working with children from infancy through elementary school, including experience as a preschool teacher, substitute teacher, private tutor, and childcare provider. My background in education and childcare has given me a strong understanding of child development, positive guidance, classroom routines, and age-appropriate learning and play. I’m CPR certified and a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, with additional training in autism and neurodiversity. Working with children is something I truly enjoy, especially getting to know each child’s personality and interests. Reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, board games, and trips to the park are some of my favorite things to do with kids. Activities can always be adjusted based on the child’s interests and the family’s routine. However, my availability is currently limited, and I’m mainly accepting occasional bookings that are a good mutual fit. BOOKING POLICY: For schedule changes within 48 hours that reduce the booked hours, the original hours are expected to be honored. Thank you for understanding! :) Warmly, Dora

“Take care and play with my 7-month baby very well! Professional and reliable! ”
