Hello, I am Julia. I am a teacher with over 7 years of experience caring for and providing education to children. 2 years ago I established myself as an independent teacher after having worked as an Early Childhood educator in a Waldorf school for 5 years. As an independent teacher I specialize in teaching sewing and clothing design. I also enjoy providing care for young children and pets. I am a very attentive and gentle woman with lots of experience as a teacher and I possess a natural care giving ability. I have mainly taught children ages 2-11, along with recently providing care for a young man of 22 years who had a disability. I have been teaching clothing design & sewing over the past 9 years. I really value fostering the creativity of children and enjoy assisting them in bringing their ideas to life. I am Waldorf trained and I believe in the importance of nurturing the holistic well being of young children. I have been making clothing since I was 7 years old and I am trained in clothing construction and clothing design, having operated my own clothing line for 4 years before my teaching career started. I also love to cook, paint, decorate homes and participate in many creative activities. One of my main love languages is cooking for others. I have lots of experience with animals. I fostered rescue cats for 4 years and I also do pet setting. I know how to administer medicines and offer a calm environment. I also have recently become a certified yoga teacher and I have also started to teach yoga classes. I am also offering that within my care services.

Hi everyone. I am glad to get to know each family I work for. I speak Portuguese and English. I have experience with ages between 6 months to 15 years old. I have a couple of years of experience with kids back in my home country and here in the USA. Glad to answer any question you have. Thank you

Hi, I'm Shak! As the eldest in a large family, childcare has been a part of my life from a young age, and over the past 15 years I've worked primarily with newborns and toddlers, though I genuinely love kids of all ages. I bring an empathy-first approach to every family I work with. For infants, I specialize in sleep training and mother's helper support, and I'm happy to work alongside new parents through that journey every step of the way. I also focus on early language development through textures, sounds, rhythm, and music. With toddlers, I lean into interest-led play — imagination building, curiosity about the world, early reading and counting. For school-age kids and teens, I emphasize active listening, healthy boundaries, and creating safe spaces for authentic expression. I also have meaningful experience with neurodiverse children who benefit from a different level of engagement and care. And since I studied classical text and diction, I love putting that to use — making up plays, collaborative storytelling, theatre games, you name it. But I'm just as happy getting active: bike rides, fort building, kite flying at the beach, little hikes, and whatever else sparks joy. I have a very low cancellation rate. If I accept a booking I am committed and will be there. I also have a reliable vehicle. I'd love to be a part of your family's village. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Dear families, I love being around children, and started babysitting when I was in high school. I’m a warm and friendly person you can trust to take good care of your kid(s). I foster creativity with children through arts and crafts, legos, dancing, playing music and playing games. My experience in caring for children is with infants through school aged kids. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I’m a non smoker with a clean driving record who lives a very healthy lifestyle I am interested in building long lasting relationships with families. My childcare expertise also lies in raising my daughter to become a successful and independent adult, and I do understand the challenges and rewards that parents face. I’m a graduate of San Francisco State University, where I majored in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. I’m also able to help with homework, household chores and pet care. During my free time, I enjoy hiking, painting, reading and spending time with family and friends. Thanks for considering me! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family soon.
