Elaina D., Child Care in Gilroy, CA 95020 with 24 years of paid experience

Hello, parents! I live Morgan Hill and have ample time for OCCASIONAL care on Monday and Friday mornings and afternoons, Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. I'm also available to assist at children's parties, field trips and events, supervise playgroups and weekend travel or overnights. I am only able to post a few weeks consecutive availability at once, but I usually plan two months available hours at once, so please feel free to inquire about dates beyond the month you see posted! I'm very experienced with infants and children from 3 months to six years of age. I enjoy spending time with children who appreciate crafts, books, time outside, sciences, building and cooking. I also have extensive experience teaching children ages 3-8 to read confidently, and would be very happy to aid struggling readers in our time together. I provide a careful balance of time indoors and out (regardless of rain or wind), and love to watch children cultivate new interests and skills during our time together! I am also very, extremely, super pet friendly (mammals, rodents, birds, fish, reptiles, even some insects) and would love to meet a few regular, local families with sweet fur babies to add to the mix. During my time with children, I focus exclusively on the child— I do not perform any domestic tasks such as washing family dishes, folding laundry, cleaning kitchens or bathrooms, etc. I handle any messes made throughout the course of my time with children, and fully expect children who are able to walk to aid in putting away toys and books, wiping up crumbs and carrying dishes to be washed at the sink. I encourage a great deal of autonomy and accountability in young children and am often described by parents as "firm but fair." I believe and have always seen that children are capable of a great deal, and when we are together, I push them to meet that potential in diverse ways! Please feel free to take a look at my reviews and read through my profile. I prefer to have the opportunity to thoroughly interview AND meet with a family before accepting a booking, to make sure we are a good fit before we commit our time to one another. This also is a chance for your children to meet me so that I am a familiar face, rather than a stranger! I have a four hour minimum and a small deposit each request, and prefer not to have occasional bookings of more than 6 hours in duration.

Laura S., Child Care in Gilroy, CA 95020 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Laura. Thank you so much for checking out my profile. Below are a few details, but feel free to reach out if you think I’d be a good fit for your families needs. My current schedule allows for me to babysit after 5pm Monday-Friday and Saturdays and Sundays I have open availability. I may have some flexibly in my schedule so, please let me know what your needs are. I have my bachelors degree in Social Science and am currently enrolled in my Masters program in HR Management. I have been a nanny/babysitter for over 10 years. I have taken care of kids 6month and up. Primarily, I mostly do date nights, but I have also been a nanny as well. I currently have a handful of babysitting positions that are just on call and I do have a family that I nanny for sporadically. Most of the families that I currently have worked for I have been with for over five years. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, traveling and spending time with my family. My husband and I bought a house in Morgan Hill in 2018 and enjoy the area. We also have a dog name, Zoey Emma, who we love and take everywhere. I currently work full-time in HR, but enjoy babysitting on the side. Given some of the relationships I have been able to build over the years with different families, it brings great joy to watch the kids grow up and be a part of their journey! Feel free to reach out with any question.

Linda B., Child Care in Gilroy, CA 95020 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello there. My name is Linda and I am 39 years old.I believe there is nothing better then helping a child grow and learn. I am a very honest, energetic, and loving person.  I love to cook and bake and do not have any problems doing some housekeeping (picking after the kids, doing dishes, laundry, etc.) I am great with kids and babies and treat them as if they were my own. I have been told many times that I have a natural way with children.I enjoy their company as much as they enjoy mine.I am a very dependable,trustworthy,patient, and caring person.I get great satisfaction out of helping others. Throughout my years of being a child care provider, I have worked with various age groups ranging from infancy to middle school. I have worked with children my whole life. It is such a joy and privilege to be able to help a child discover his or her own individuality and to witness them reach their fullest potential. My goal as a child care provider is to ensure a safe and friendly environment and to encourage the children in exploring their unique abilities as they develop into independent individuals I am CPR and First Aid certified. I also don't mind doing some light housework (doing dishes, vacuuming, laundry, etc). I love kids very much and I enjoy my time spent with them just as much as they enjoy their time with me. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.  linda201983@aol.com
