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.

Over 10 years of experience working with infants and young children. I have a Master's degree in eLearning education, a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) Certification, Certificate of Clearance from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, Infant / Child CPR, Associate Preschool Teacher Certification, and more. I have familiarity with various teaching styles including Reggio Emilia and Montessori. Finding the right fit with a family who values safety, embracing teaching moments, leading with kindness, love, and patience, is most important in my job search. At this time, (4/19/2026) I will consider live-in, part-time, or full-time positions. Thank you!

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!

I’m a college student studying health sciences with a genuine love for working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for my 8 nieces and nephews, with ages ranging from toddlers to preteens, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs—whether that’s playtime, helping with homework, or keeping things on schedule. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, reliable, patient, and attentive, and I always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable, supported, and confident in my care. Some of my hobbies include cooking, baking, playing games, and spending time with animals, so I’m happy to help in homes with pets. I have open availability that can meet your desired needs.

Maritza is part of our family now. We will be using her for as long as she decides to work alongside our family. She was very welcoming in our initial interview and even though we have only just started with her. My wife, Mother in law and sister in law who have meet her all say the same thing, she brings an an energy of positivity and trust.

Hello, my name is Alex, and I am a fun-loving caregiver with 8 years of experience across all age groups. I have a very flexible schedule, and I can often work last minute if needed! I recently concluded nannying for 3 wonderful siblings aged 3, 6, and 8, and I have two younger brothers whom I babysat for years, alongside various other preschool, elementary, and middle school-aged children. I have a BA in psychology and was fortunate to learn a great deal about child development during my education; I am currently completing a master's in Counseling Psychology to become a marriage and family therapist. I love art, music, and sports, so I can help keep your youngster entertained! I am also an experienced cook and am happy to take on household tasks such as meal preparation, cleaning, laundry, transportation, and animal care. I can also help with bedtime routines and stay late or overnight if needed. Whether you are looking for occasional or long-term care, I look forward to hearing from you!

Alex worked for us part time for a year and helped our household function. You would be lucky to hire Alex for any childcare needs. She has a great approach with the kids and is very flexible to help out with whatever you need. My 3 kids loved spending time with Alex (as did we!) and we would not hesitate to hire her for any childcare moving forward. She is amazing with young kids (our son was 3) as well as older (6-9) and lovingly holds boundaries while being very fun. We wish she could be part of our family for longer!

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 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

I am a 47 year old mom to a 15 year old wonderful young man. I started taking care of children when I was 13 years old. I love children and want them to have a positive healthy atmosphere and good nutrition. I think structure is important like having a consistent routine for sleep and eating. I feel that music should be on most of the time. I was born in New York to immigrant parents from Greece. I speak Greek fluently and have studied other languages including French and Spanish. I love to cook, bake, go fishing and garden. I have experience with children with special needs and understand the challenges and joys that come from them.

Our family, especially my three children, absolutely adored “Argi.” She introduced all of us to new cultural aspects and ways of life. She taught my children with passion, care, patience, humor, and she’s an amazing cook as well. She put strong emphasis on healthy choices and nutrition in every meal and does it with endless amounts of love and care. She is respectful of other cultures and traditions. She knows how to get my kids to open up and share their concerns with her. For example, my daughter who was going through some tough times with school so Argi would always make it a point to do special little things for her and constantly reminding her how strong and resilient she is, giving her confidence to overcome anything that got in her way. My son who does not like to try new food now discovers that he likes Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. She’s the biggest cheerleader and supporter to all three kids with their sports and always shows up to support them.At times when I find myself at odds with my children lol, Argi becomes the peacemaker middleman trying to help us understand each other’s perspectives. She brings a lifetime of experience rich with diversity, intellect, and human decency. Anyone who is lucky enough to have her in their homes will absolutely value her.

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.
