Hi, I'm Julie and I recently retired from law enforcement after 27yrs. I've been married for the past 26 years, live in Pleasanton, and have 2 amazing girl's. Since retiring & becoming an empty nester (it has definitely been hard without my girl's), I have found such joy and purpose helping families in need of childcare. I remember how difficult it was to find a responsible, trustworthy, caring, and patient, sitter to watch my girl's. I've always loved having fun & spending time with children & think this opportunity will be both a benefit to myself as well as parents in need of childcare. Unfortunately at this time I'm only available to help families with one-time, weekend, occasional, or short-term needs. I have a degree from SJSU in sociology & psychology, as well as a Master's in Organizational Leadership from Saint Mary's College. If you happen to request me and I decline I'm likely out of town or helping another family but please try again or message me for any questions.
Julie has been a wonderful as needed caregiver for our family. She is very flexible and respectful of rules and boundaries my husband and I set for our little one. She brings some extra activities that she feels like the kiddo would enjoy and is so patient when engaging in play. Always very punctual and communicative. We plan to continue reaching out to Julie and cannot recommend her enough!
