Ashley Hernandez

San Jose$20/hr | 1 yrs experience

Hi! I’m Ashley and have 1 and a half year experience in child care + the years of babysitting for my cousins and siblings lol! I love kids so much. I am about to be a new mother myself and looking for a job. I recently worked with a 4 year old child who had autism. I use to pick him up, be with him in his home until mom got home from work. I heated up his meals, read to him, played with him, took him to his therapies! He also had a 3 hour at home therapy, during that I did some light chores around the house, laundry, dishes, sweeping, etc. Hopefully I can be a big help for you and your lovely family!

Hello- My name is Angeles, but I usually go by Angel ! I am a 20 year old Mexican American. I am Bilingual, I am fluent in Spanish and English. I have been working with kids since I was 18 years old. My favorite part is seeing a child grow and learn new things. I am a very caring person and I always grow super close to the kids I work with.
