A little bit about me
I grew up in Oakland and went to school at UCSC then stayed in the area afterwards working in the outdoor education field. I find it special for be an extra adult in a child’s life that they can go to for help and learn from in addition to their parents. I really enjoy art, nature, cooking, singing, and going on adventures! I am very responsible, organized and communicative. I’d love to meet you to see how my experience and skills can fit you and your families needs!

Hi There!
Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me! As you can see from my profile, I am not only experienced with childcare but it is my place where work does not exist. They say if you find what you love to do you will never work again, being with young children brings that to me.

A little bit about me
Hi families! My name is Jozette and I am a 21 year old female looking for 2-4 days of helping out a family with their children and other responsibilities needed. I am an online student at Grand Canyon University majoring in Early Childhood Education in hopes of becoming a Child Life Specialist. I have always loved being around kids and making them feel safe and wanted while also having fun with them. I have 5+ years of experience, with my most professional ones being an after school teacher at an elementary school or being a daycare counselor at a resort (as well as nanny gigs over the years). I would love to care for your children if suitable! I hope to hear all about you soon :)

Nanny Andrea
"We have been lucky enough to have Andrea nanny our one and sometimes two boys. She’s truly a part of the family. She’s always on time, entertaining the boys, and even cleans when the boys are napping. They love her so much they cry when she leaves! Our boys enjoy being outdoors most of the day and require A LOT of energy. I never worry about their safety or comfort. I 10/10 recommend her."

Nanny Silvana

She brought him toys and played the flute for him to introduce him to new things. I am very grateful for the care she provided."
