Booked by 15 families in San Jose, CA

My name is Ashley, I been a nanny for 20+ years age ranging from newborn to age 18. Nurturing children through various stages of development and managing household responsibilities. I have experience working with 4 children at a time ranging from infant to teenager. Managing both newborns and toddlers simultaneously can be demanding but manageable with some planning. I can involve the toddlers in gentle activities that won't disturb the newborn, such as coloring, building blocks, or playing with soft toys. While the toddlers are occupied, I can attend to the newborn's needs, such as feeding, changing diapers, or putting them down for a nap. It's all about finding a balance between meeting the needs of both age groups while ensuring their safety and well-being. I find joy in understanding children and what brings them happiness. Building those connections and seeing them smile is rewarding. I can transport children to various activities and taking care of light housekeeping and cooking.

“Ashely worked for us for 6 weeks while our nanny was on vacation. She was amazing in all ways. She was quick to connect with both my kids (5 & 2) and brought them to new fun activities. She also was a huge help around the house and did everything from household items to family cooking. She is extremely responsive and organized. We loved having her as part of the family and will continue to have her babysit on date nights. ”

Booked by 7 families in San Jose, CA

Hi there! I’m Cindy. I’m currently in my last semester at SJSU and will be graduating this fall with my bachelor’s in Child & Adolescent Development and a minor in Special Education. I hope to become either a special education teacher or social worker so I can continue helping children who need a little extra support. I’ve worked with children for over 7 years, including 6 years in ABA across home, clinic, and school settings, along with babysitting throughout the years. I’m also a foster mom to my nephew, who I love with all my heart. I’m very sweet, patient, and child-centered, so I love following a child’s lead and letting them be themselves. At the same time, my years as an RBT have taught me how to be firm when needed, set boundaries, and follow through consistently. Since I’m currently a full-time student and mom myself, I’m available for childcare on Fridays and Saturdays. I’d love to be someone your child feels safe, comfortable, and happy with!
