Booked by 1 family in San Jose, CA

Hi families! My name is Hannah, and I have over 7 years of professional nannying experience and have been babysitting since 2017! I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children of all ages, from infants as young as 3 months to school-aged children. I currently work as a licensed Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) in a school district, where I support children with their speech, language, communication, and social development. I also hold a bachelor’s degree in Communicative Disorders and Sciences and have an educational background in Child and Adolescent Development. Throughout my years as a nanny, I’ve gained extensive experience with everything from meal preparation, school pickups, homework help, and bedtime routines to planning fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities. I also had the opportunity to work with the same family for several years, building meaningful and lasting relationships. I’m patient, nurturing, dependable, and genuinely love working with children! I strive to create a safe, positive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn I’m looking to provide occasional babysitting rather than a regular part-time or full-time commitment. I’m happy to help with date nights, weekends, school breaks, or whenever your family needs an extra helping hand! I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and help make your day-to-day life a little easier!

“Hannah was wonderful. She arrived on time and was a good communicator leading up to our meeting time. She was able to immediately engage our kids and put them through their dinner + bedtime routines + put them asleep. She even made it through an unexpected power outage + stayed a bit later. Would def recommend to another family and our kids look forward to seeing her again. Thanks, Hannah!”

Hi families! I’m Mikayla. ✨ For the last 9 years, I’ve had the privilege of nannying for a diverse range of families across the Bay Area. Navigating different household dynamics has taught me to be an incredibly tactful and well-rounded nanny. Alongside my 3 years of preschool classroom experience, I hold a degree in Psychology and Child Development. I am passionate about my field and take pride in directly applying my knowledge of child psychology to how I engage with, support, and care for children. I am fully ready to align with your family's unique routines and goals, while bringing a fun, safe, and enriching energy into your home. I look forward to connecting and am happy to answer any questions you have!

“My son had a good time. Thank you! ”

Hi! I’m currently a nanny and have been caring for kids for about 8 years. I also take on little babysitting gigs on the side. I’m a very caring and responsible person who loves working with children. I’m patient and attentive and always make sure the kids feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy what I do and love being someone families can trust with their little ones! 😊 I'd love the opportunity to bring my energy and experience to your family! I also have a profile on care.com

“Abigail was amazing ! It was my first time getting a sitter but she was right on time, confident, and calm. She messaged me throught the day to keep me up to date on what fun activities they were doing which really put me at ease. I returned back to a tidy home and my little girl sound asleep.”

Hello! My name is Rowan and I currently work as a behavioral specialist in special education at a public high school.
