Find a nanny in San Jose, CA
Nanny Lane is an easy and safe place for finding nannies
I have experience with singletons, multiples and children in group setting of up to 20.
I love children and I enjoy spending time and interacting with them.Im a loving caring and nurturing individual, and I'm also trustworthy and reliable. I believe in creating a positive, safe and happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I have good organization and communication skills, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny.
Furthermore, I am first aid, CPR and AED certified. Ive also completed an NCSA approved Newborn care specialist course with Gentle Ventures. I am a non- smoker and posses a current California drivers license and a reliable vehicle. I have wonderful references from previous and current employers to back up my work history.
I came to the US in January 2020 through an Au Pair Program. I was an Au Pair for 8 months living with a family in San Francisco. During this time I took care of a 3-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy. I have experience with babies, toddlers, and children of all ages. I am a very passionate and warmhearted person that really enjoys taking care of kids.
I have been a parent for 30 years and have 3 children, ages range from 14yrs to 30yrs old. I was also a Preschool /Jr. K teacher for over 11yrs. So, including my professional career and personal life, I have 28 years of experience all together. Let me just say that working with children and adults is a passion of mine, it's warms my heart knowing I can make a difference in someone's life. Personally I feel that children are the most precious gift we are given and it is our duty to teach, protect and love them unconditionally, whether it's our own child(ren) or someone Else's child. I am also a qualified Medical Assistant with CPR & first aid training. It makes a difference when you know your child(ren) is in the care of someone that can implement a wide range of stability within your home and the care of your loved one(s).
In my younger days, I was an Indian nationally ranked tennis player (#3). I love staying active (at some point I think my children got tired of me :) ).
I'm famous for my chicken curry and homemade pizza (we have a wood fire oven at our home!). I understand firsthand the stress of raising thoughtful, generous, and smart kids in an increasingly chaotic world, and I would be honored to help other families in whatever way I can.
A nanny share is when one nanny cares for children from two different families. Each family saves significantly on child care expenses, while the nanny enjoys higher pay than the typical full-time position.
Learn more about nanny shareWe've had a wonderful arrangement and nanny for the past two years for two boys about the same age. October will be the end of our current contract.
We are looking to repeat a similar arrangement with another family with an infant or who also are expecting soon or have recently had a baby so schedules can line up.
We have a plug and play situation including:
* Caring Spanish/English speaking Nanny available full-time employment 40 hrs a week
* Solid working contract with p. t. o
* Easy to use payroll company for payroll and taxes
* items that make watching over two infants/toddlers easier including: Double strollers, folding crib, baby monitors, etc.
* Desire for social interaction and socialization despite needing to limit contacts due to Covid.
We follow social distancing protocols. We have temporal thermometers.
Use Hatch app to monitor our boy to get onto a schedule, and with boys naptimes and schedules now regular and well-coordinated we think this would be a great tool for both families.
If you are willing to host and open to considering this as an option, please reach out.
My husband and I both work full time and have a dog at home. With my maternity leave ending January 2021 would like to discuss as soon as possible.
Our weekly schedule can be between 8-4 or 9-5 schedule Monday through Fridays. We are pretty laid back and appreciate good communication.
Thank you for reading,
Claire
On Friday mornings it would just be you and my daughter as I run a few errands (these days, basically just grocery shopping)...Ideally I'd like someone that can be with us long term and become kind of like a member of our family
Other duties would include folding the family laundry (although not required)
Thank you
Very reliable, caring, open to connect to the kids. She taught my kids English (we live in Sweden) and care for them like they were hers. She stayed with us for six year. She is the nanny who raised them. They have never forgotten her. We live in Sweden and I couldn't register my phone. My email address is my name, Pia + Edhall (all together) and I use a gmail.com. Feel free to reach. - Pia
Judie worked part time for me for several years. I could always depend on her to give my children the best care. She was a positive influence in their lives. From day to day activities, light housekeeping, transportation to homework help. I knew when I came home everything would be taken care of. - Lisa
She is very sweet, and is very loving towards children. I had complete trust in her with my children. - Susannne

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in San Jose, CA
Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.
San Jose Nanny Interviews
Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:
- Do you have experience being a nanny?
- How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
- What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
- Are you open to a live in arrangement in San Jose? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
- Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
- Do you have any references?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in San Jose?
- Do you have a driver’s license in CA? Do you own a car?
- What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
- What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?
During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!
