Hello! My name is Cepideh (Cep for short) and I currently work part-time researcher at UC San Francisco, a role I secured after graduating from UC Santa Barbara in 2021. In undergrad, I was an active student involved in the Undergraduate Mentorship Program which mentors and guides first year students through academic and personal situations. One of my first ever jobs was as a swim instructor at the local swim school De Anza Cupertino Aquatics (DACA). I taught children ages 7-11 basic swim strokes and safety during their lessons. I also had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor during my high school career. I led a group of elementary school children through their activities in a weeklong excursion in the Watsonville outdoor school. I find an incredible sense of wonderment when I have the opportunity to work with children. I end up learning more than I anticipated through conversations and activities I engage in with the children. I look forward to continuing to work with children in my local area!

Hi! I'm Hana, I'm an art director by day and have always loved spending time with children. I have experience caring for little ones ages 6 months and up and enjoy being part of their little worlds, whether that's getting creative with arts and crafts, reading stories, exploring outside, or coming up with imaginative ways to spend the day. Creativity has always been a big part of my life, and I love bringing that into time with kids while also making sure they're well cared for and comfortable. I'm happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, and the little things that help keep the day running smoothly. I'm currently opening up my availability for occasional babysitting and would love to meet your family!
I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver with decades of experience caring for children of all ages. My background includes work in elementary education and supporting students in school-based settings, which has given me strong skills in communication, emotional support, and creating safe, structured, nurturing environments for kids. I’m kind, energetic, organized, and naturally good at building trust and rapport while maintaining consistency, boundaries, and safety. Families often describe me as calm, reliable, intuitive, and easy to work with. In addition to childcare, I have years of experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs and am happy to help with errands, meal prep, organizing, and light household chores. I have professional experience in events catering and as a pastry chef, along with formal culinary arts training, and I genuinely enjoy cooking and preparing meals for others. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, which supports my thoughtful, patient, and attentive approach to caregiving. I love helping families feel supported and making busy lives run a little more smoothly however I can.
