Mary O., Babysitter in San Jose, CA 95125 with 26 years of paid experience

Dear parents, My name is Mary. I am a trained and certified professional nanny/family assistant with 25 years experience taking care of children, and managing household needs. My experience includes infant/toddler care and children up to age 16 (singles, twins, multiples, special need and nanny share). At this time, I am looking to help families on the weekends for date nights or help during the day. I am a mature, college educated/artistic, fun, loving, responsible, patient and safe nanny. I am background checked and fingerprinted, CPR/First Aid certified and I am current with all my vaccinations. I drive an insured vehicle with excellent driving record. I speak/read/write three languages fluently. I don’t drink or smoke. I love children and children love me and always tell me "you are the best nanny we've ever had". For toddlers and older children, II provide age-appropriate, fun and educational activities both indoor and outdoor. We sing/dance, exercise, play games, puzzles, cook/bake, learn to do gardening, reading, sewing, drawing and painting and we create a variety of fun crafts projects (I bring my art supplies to teach them)… Regardless of what we do, there is always lots of laughter and fun involved. If there is a baby in the family, I pick activities that we can include the baby, until the baby goes to sleep. Thank you for your time and consideration, in advance. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I can provide excellent references upon request. Kind regards, Mary

Nina F., Babysitter in San Jose, CA 95125 with 5 years of paid experience

***I am only available for occasional babysitting after 5pm on weekdays and some weekends. Thank you for understanding!*** I am an administrative professional who became a nanny during the pandemic. While I am no longer nannying full time, I am hoping to babysit occasionally for a few families long-term on evenings and weekends. I have experience with kids of all ages and absolutely love pets! I am fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID and am willing to mask, etc. I grew up doing theatre and love to entertain little ones with singing, dancing, reading aloud, etc! I had many different nannies growing up and know how important they are to a child's life. My friends would describe me as very reliable, conscientious, and caring. References happily provided upon request. I look forward to hearing from you! ------------------------------------------------------------ “Nina is incredibly patient, loving and helpful with our 6 month old son. She has always been very adaptable to our developing parenting styles (first time parents over here!) and she’s been very helpful in providing recommendations or additional context based on her previous nanny experiences. She is an excellent communicator and she regularly goes above and beyond to make our son as comfortable as possible and celebrate his baby milestones. She engages with our son through many activities including singing, reading, playing, going outside, tummy time and snuggles at nap time. I wish we could continue our time with Nina, but we are moving out of the state. If you are looking for a dependable and caring nanny, Nina will be a great fit for your family!” -Katie, February-June 2021

Vivien T., Babysitter in San Jose, CA 95125 with 5 years of paid experience

**ONLY AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE OCCASIONAL AND ONE-TIME CARE**. NO WEEKDAY DAYTIME CARE AVAILABLE. I have been teaching swim lessons, both public and private, since I was 15, working with children as young as 1 year old and as old as 12 years old. Being in the water, I had to pay close attention to up to 5 kids at a time while teaching them each one to become a better, more comfortable swimmer. -- I also have volunteered at my aunt's preschool for many years.. The kids will need help with activities, classwork, or just someone to play with. -- I took several college courses on child development and also obtained my CPR & First Aid certification for my swim instructor position. Being with children is my passion--I love their curious minds, big hearts, and free speech! I have always found teaching them to be extremely fulfilling. I look forward to meeting and caring for more great kids. -- In regards to pets, I have owned many different kinds over the course of my life (cats, hamsters, rabbits, and shellfish). I find animals are precious as kids, as they're so happy and carefree. They can also be very compassionate animals, so I enjoy taking care of them. Friends who own dogs or cats have often remarked that their pet really liked me, which is noteworthy because "he/she doesn't like that many people", so it seems like I have an aura that they find comfortable and enjoy.
