Hi, I’m Veeksha! I’m located in San Jose, I went to UCLA and studied Psychology, and I’ve been babysitting since high school and absolutely love spending time with kids. I’ve had experience with children of all ages, from infants to high school. I’m fun-loving and creative, and easily connect with kids. If your kids are more on the active side, I’d love to take them to the park, zoo, plays, etc. Otherwise, I’d be more than happy to spend time with them at home making crafts, drawing, or playing games. I understand the importance of my role and take children’s well-being very seriously, and am a healthy balance between easy going, patient, and assertive if needed. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to ask; thank you!
