Hello, I am a mother of my own with a daughter that is married. I come from a European background family. I am Greek, I speak the language. I enjoy kids, they have there own personality.

Experienced with infants, toddlers, elementary and middle. I’ve been on Urban since April 2015 so please feel free to browse my many 5 star reviews. Background: -While an undergraduate at Simmons College, I studied early childhood education and worked in an urban preschool for two years with Jumpstart, an AmeriCorps project. -CPR/ AED trained and certified by the Red Cross -Oakland CORE certified (Earthquake & Disaster Preparation) -My reviews are nearly all 5 stars. -I live in Cupertino (formerly from Boston) and am obsessed with hot yoga and once upon a time Sailor Moon. I’d be happy to be a healthy influence on your family and assist with household coordination. MY STYLE - Waldorf/ Montessori influences - I encourage creative & imaginative play along with self organizing and cooperation for older children. - For the pre-school and under crowd, I participate in parallel play and getting on the child’s level. - I love taking children outside to play or for a stroller walk. We will read books together (maybe even make one together) and on the whole I’ll be that new age sitter who isn’t too fond of screen time and would rather we go to the playground or explore fractal patterns in pinecones. 😋🌲 Thank you! -Jane *** A note on my care style: I believe children thrive with movement, fresh air, and exploration whenever possible. For children who are walking and older, I generally plan on stroller walks, playground visits, backyard play, or other age-appropriate outdoor activities (weather permitting). If your family’s needs require children to remain indoors for the entirety of each day, we may not be the best match. If outdoor walks or playground time require prior approval or have specific restrictions, I appreciate discussing those expectations before booking so we can ensure we’re a great fit. *** I do my best work when I am the primary caregiver during my scheduled hours. While I enjoy collaborating with parents, my style is naturally independent, calm, and child-centered. Families who are looking for a true mother’s helper role or who anticipate being closely involved with the child throughout the day may find that another caregiver is a better fit. *** My booking minimum is 5 hours unless we’ve worked together previously and have arranged an exception together.
