Booked by 5 families in San Jose, CA

Hi! My name is Sophia and I live in San Jose, CA. I am a current graduate student studying ecology. 🦋 I would love to help with child care, pet care, and house care. 🙋🏻‍♀️ I have years of experience taking care of kids of all ages from infants to middle schoolers. I am comfortable with diapers, bottles/feeding, naps, and age appropriate activities. I love going outside, playing games, and arts & crafts - anything creative and fun! I can also help with homework or school projects. 🫧🛝🎶 Some of my favorite experiences with kids have been playing dress-up princesses, baseball cards, painting, learning about dinosaurs, and pickleball. 🦕🎨🏓 I’m a great story-reader for before naps/bedtime and delicious snack-maker. 🥪🧃 I love cats, dogs, and other critters! 🐶🐢 I also can help with light house work such as cooking, dishes, laundry, etc.

“We loved working with Sophia, our baby was instantly comfortable with her, she was on time and very easy to co-ordinate with :) looking forward to working with Sophia again :)”

Booked by 2 families in San Jose, CA

Hi! My name is Mandana! I’m a professional woman, and a natural caregiver. But for now, I don’t have my own children, or have any caregiving responsibilities in my personal life. So, I am happy to share any extra time I may have, to care for my community, including your family. I have academic and professional knowledge and skills to support both children and elderly. And though I don’t have as much knowledge and/or experience with pets, I love caring for them too! Sadly, I am super allergic to cats, so I cannot serve homes that have cats. I’d be happy to discuss whether I’d be a good fit for your family needs. So please feel free to reach out.

Hi, I'm Srishti! I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology living in San Jose. I have a diverse background in childcare—including experience as a neurodivergent camp counselor and as a volunteer at a local elementary school. My academic background gives me a deep understanding of child development, which helps me create supportive, engaging environments. I love keeping kids active with art projects, park outings, and playing games. I am also fully available for dog, cat, and house sitting. I have multiple local references available and would love to set up a brief introductory meeting to ensure a perfect fit for your family!

Heyyy families! My name is Brooklyn, I’m 27 years old. I have my A.A is Psychology and am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Nutritional science with a Dietetics concentration. I’m am looking for part-time nanny opportunities. I have been working with kids for over 5 years, with children as little as 5 months old to 16 year olds. I’m young, I’m active, and I know all the new trends these kids are into these days😂 I can help with homework and I always cater a fun and safe environment for your kid to be a kid while also aiding in their milestones! I am also looking for occasional/ regular house sitting opportunities so store my profile away for the holidays, vacations, or just being out of town, when you need your home to be watched and cared for! I’m looking forward to hearing from you all!

I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around kids! I have 5+ years of experience, I’m reliable and patient, and I love keeping kids active, happy, and engaged.

“Vittoria has been watching our two kids, ages 7 and 9, for about a year, and we adore her. She is always on time and completely reliable, but what really makes her special is how present she is with them. She does not just watch them, she plays with them, remembers their favorite books, and truly cares. This past summer, while I was working, she went above and beyond, helping the girls sort through old schoolwork, clear out clothes they had outgrown, and get organized for the next school year. She is honestly a lifesaver. She is quick to respond, sends pictures so we always know how things are going, and is wonderfully flexible when our schedule shifts. We recommend Vittoria wholeheartedly to any family looking for a sitter who is dependable, warm, and truly loves what she does.”
