Hi, I’m Sal (they/them)! I am a queer 31 year old childcare worker living in the bay. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and since then I’ve been a nanny, daycare/preschool teacher/assistant/sub, camp counselor, afterschool program teacher, and climbing facilitator for birthday parties and field trips at my local gym. I face paint as a side gig, love to camp and be outside in general, rock climb, and hang out with my friends and my cat. Originally I went to school for fine arts and that comes across with arts and crafts when I’m with kiddos. I’ve made curriculum for art clubs at programs in the past and would happily do that if you have an art loving child as well. I prioritize outside time, creek explorations, and helping kids learn how to be safe in their bodies and minds. I just earned my assistant teacher certificate at Merrit Community Collage and am continuing to take more classes for child care there. A long term goal of mine is to become an occupational therapist who works with kids on managing challenging emotions and behaviors. I offer sliding scale rates for my work - please feel free to ask more if this is a need or simply interests you. I have ample experience caring for cats, minimal with dogs but am willing to learn, and less with others. Reptiles give me a bit of a fright, but with time and guidance, I feel confident I will can comfortabilty. I am open to light chores - sweeping, dishes, laundry - , meal prep, and organizational tasks with a potential for a higher rate for that time I am spent doing it on top of watching after your kiddos, depending on what I am being asked to do. I am CPR and first aid certified, a mandated reporter, have a car and am willing to drive -pending a conversation about what that needs to look like -, insured, and have a clean driving record.

Hello, my name is Kathryn! I'm a Mental Health Counselor at an elementary school in Oakland where I provide trauma-focused therapy. I completed my Master of Social Work at NYU in 2022, and prior to grad school, I was a kindergarten teacher for 7 years. I love exploring and learning with kids, and my teaching experience was focused on combining social and emotional wellness with project-based, exploratory learning. I am patient and love having fun with kids, but am also confident in setting clear boundaries and expectations that ensure safety and comfort are always the top priorities. I've worked extensively with children and adults with special needs as well, and am comfortable communicating in various ways to suit individual styles and abilities. I play the harp in my free time and am passionate about fostering creativity through music and art with young children. I also love being outdoors and led a nature club at school for a number of years, so I'm always looking for opportunities for kids to be scientists and learn from the world around them.

Hi! My name is Dominique, but I go by Doma. I've been around babies and children my whole life. I grew up with my mom running her own home day care and started babysitting at 15 years old for family friends. I'm the second oldest of six children with my two youngest siblings being 9 and 11 years old, so I’m comfortable with watching multiples, doing housework and managing the occasional (or day to day) chaos. I am flexible, empathetic, and overall just really value genuine connection with those I share space with. I’ve found it important for me to be able to really partner with parents and openly communicate about how I can best care for their child and how we can support each other in the process. I look forward to hopefully doing that with you!
