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.

Where do I begin? Elaina was a true gift over the last few months, we are very fortunate to have care and presence in our home over the last few months caring for our 8 month old until she got a spot a daycare. Elaina is very knowledgeable regarding baby development, and each day she has age appropriate activities ready for my baby. The bond they created in a short amount of time was precious to watch. Elaina very clearly loves children, and create a very safe, nurturing, and fun environment for littles. She is always on time, flexible, and dependable. I am also very impressed by Elaina’s commitment to expanding her knowledge in the care children. She would often share tidbits of trainings she attended on her off days— a baby led weaning class and car seat technician training. As a new mom, someone with this background knowledge for me to tap into was so wonderful. All in all, we are so grateful for the care Elaina provided and recommend her highly!

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. 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 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. Feel free to reach out with any question.

Sashi has been an exceptional caregiver for our family, providing exceptional care and support for our daughter. She has been a self-starter who is passionate about her work, and her ability to quickly figure out how to get our baby to nap has been nothing short of amazing. Sashi has always been diligent about keeping our daughter clean and well-fed. She patiently tried multiple times to make her eat new solid foods and always wiped her hands time and again. In addition to providing excellent care, Sashi actively engaged with our daughter, teaching her new actions, reading to her daily and helping her reach important developmental milestones. Our daughter was always energized and had a new word to say to us often.  She was always on time, had an endless supply of energy to keep up with a toddler, and was committed to helping our daughter walk, even when it was tiring. Sashi also took our daughter to play at the park, even if it was a longer walk, and was always flexible if we needed a bit more time before wrapping up from work. She never shied away from washing our baby after a poop change, which showed her dedication to her job. We had a remarkable peace of mind knowing that our daughter was in such capable and loving hands. As our daughter transitions to daycare soon, we are excited for the lucky new parents who can have Sashi's exceptional services.
