Hi, my name is Erica. I’m a graduate from San Jose State University with a degree in psychology. I’ve worked at the Boys and Girls Club working in their after school and summer program. I have experience teaching curriculum such as education, sports, technology, and art. I have also worked as a behavioral therapist for children with autism, and have been a babysitter/ nanny throughout college. I’ve worked with ages 1-18 through babysitting as well as my professional career. Currently pursuing my master’s in social work at CSULB. I have more limited availability but I’d still love to work with kids and help out families when I can so please reach out!

We have been beyond blessed having Erica take care of our 19-month-old son for the last 6 weeks. She reads him book after book, she plays with blocks and cars and chases him around until they are both cracking up laughing. She handles his lunch, bath time, and nap time every day (and he is not an easy one to nap for most people). What I was really amazed with was her level of engagement with him. My husband and I work from home and we could hear her talking to him and laughing with him all day. He asks for her and talks about her constantly when she's not here and we were heartbroken when our local daycare had a spot open up for him. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their child.

I am currently a part-time care giver. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, about 14 years now. I have worked with kids of all ages, from newborn to teenagers, including special needs. I have a few cousins that have special needs including Autism, Asperger's, and medical needs that include being hearing impaired, allergies, diabetes, and cancer. I can prepare meals, provide transportation, do house cleaning and laundry, provide tutoring, and assist in anything a parent will need. I am very patient, have good time management, and try to closely follow the same parental structure as the parents do. I am fun, active, but can also provide structure and discipline when necessary. I have my own transportation, drivers license, and full-coverage insurance. I am CPR and First-Aid Certified and I also have my Life Guard Certification. I love to work out, do fun activities like art, visiting local parks, museums, and festivals. I enjoy being able to do things with the family I work for, including traveling local or non-local. My perfect job setting would be being able to be part of the family I work for!

It's been almost 3 months since Samara started babysitting my kid, and so far it's been awesome. At first I was very worried about finding the right sitter because many people warned me that it won't be easy and I may have to try out multiple people, but I lucked out big time. Samara is great at taking directions/feedback, very observant, and respects my parenting style/priorities, and most of all, my kid loves her, even my dog. I appreciate how she always keeps me posted with big and small milestones my kid achieves while I'm not there. When she's around, I know that my kid will be safe and have a wonderful time so I'm very happy that I found her and have no doubts that others will have a similar experience working with her.

Hi families, I'm a psychologist and childcare professional with 8+ years of hands-on experience with children from infants to preschoolers, including children with special needs such as autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. I've worked comfortably with traditional, adoptive, single-parent, families of color, and LGBTQ+ households, and I adapt easily whether you work from home or outside. I’ve worked in full-time, part-time, occasional, one-time, overnight, weekday, and weekend roles. Thanks to my background and experience, I’m comfortable caring for one or multiple children at a time while always maintaining a responsible, respectful, and attentive approach. CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross (Adult & Pediatric), with a clean background check and driving record. Fully vaccinated (COVID-19, flu & influenza), bilingual in English and Spanish (native), non-smoker/non-drinker, and pet-friendly with experience around 3 cats and 1 dog. I'd love to connect and see if I'm a great fit for your family. Feel free to reach out anytime; I'm happy to chat, answer questions, or schedule a meet-and-greet. Warmly, Mariela

I have 4 kids but now they are all teenagers. I love kids I wish I had more. ☺️ So since I’ve and have the patience for them I would love to work doing something I enjoy. I also love teaching I wanted to be a teacher one day. I consider myself easy going and fun. I treat kids as if they were my own because they are our future. Love and happiness is what we need in this world.

Karina is one of the most talented care givers we have met! She is kind and attentive, listens well to parents and little kids, and is honest and trustworthy. Our daughter has some special needs, and Karina is absolutely wonderful with her, praising her for what she does, encouraging her, and motivating her. She helps her do gross motor movement like a PT, engage in play like an OT, and reads and interacts like a teacher. She is also very good at cleaning and organizing, and she can make a delicious smoothie, but her joy is in building relationships with kids. Simply put, she’s the best! Give her a chance with your little one(s)—you will be glad you did!

Hello, I'm Jessica. I'm the oldest of 5 kids and have 2 adult kids of my own. I love working with children of all ages and have experience with special needs children and adults as well. I'm honest and trustworthy and children seem to love me as well. My friends call me the "Baby Whisperer" and say that I have a way with kids that is rare. I've worked with children for over 25 years and its the most rewarding work for me. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have been completely vaccinated against COVID-19. I'm looking forward to working with children of all ages and backgrounds. We'll have a fun loving time and lots of smiles and giggles.

Jessica is fantastic. She’s always on time and has been available even with short notice, which we really appreciate. My daughter felt comfortable with her immediately, even though Jessica was the first person outside our family to care for her. She has such a calm, reassuring energy and a very poised personality. I would definitely work with her again.

Nanette is the best sitter we've ever had!! She is the only person outside of my family that I have felt 100% comfortable leaving my daughter with. She always knows what to do and you can tell that she's a great mom, which is very important in my opinion! Nanette also looks after our dog when we're out of town, and every time she comes to pick her up, our dog gets overly excited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nanette to anyone!

Megan is great with our 1 year old son! Our son went right to her and they played the whole time she was watching him, you can tell he had fun! She is very responsive and showed great care for our son. We’re looking forward to having Megan watch him again.

Hello everyone :) . I have ECE units as well as an updated CPR and First aid training card. I have been working with kids for 20 years! My Passion for children took place while I was a teenager in high school. I worked as an intern at a day care in Long Beach and fell in love with teaching and working with kids. Many people call me the baby whisperer lol because everywhere I go, babies cling to me and love me immediately. Right now I work as a case manager at a women’s shelter part time. I love helping others ! My sweet spirit allows not only the kid to love me but the parents also. Some kids take more time but I have the patience to build the trust needed for me and that child to build a great relationship. I’ve worked in a day care setting and baby sat for many parents from the school. I am going to go back to school to get my masters degree in counseling so that I can become a children’s counselor for public schools. I am not a partier, drinker type nor do I use profanity. I dont discriminate & I pray that the same energy to presented to me. I will respect your life and your rules. I LOVE music and I love to dance. Might I also add that i am quite silly lol. Which works great when you’re dealing with toddlers or young ones . There’s so much more I can say but I’ll stop right here . Thank you for taking the time to read this ❤️ I’m open to share my resume !

She is one of the kindest , most compassionate, loving and empathetic person I’ve ever met! She is so trustworthy and people call her the baby whisperer. Her personality is reserved in nature and she is very respectful. I’d recommend anyone to encounter her no matter what race , ethnicity or background. You won’t regret it

Hello, my name is Kuei Mei Chen (I go by Carol Chen). A little about me: I moved here from Taiwan in 1998, and I have five years of experience working as a nanny/caregiver, 3 of which includes experience caring for an infant. I truly enjoy caring for young children. Accompanying them as they grow, watching them from crawling to learning how to walk, to guiding them in discovering the world around them and helping them learn to communicate and speak, I deeply enjoy every part of the process.
