I am a certified postpartum doula and experienced babysitter with over 10 years caring for newborns through school age children. I’m currently studying psychoanalysis, which gives me a deeper understanding of children’s emotions, behavior, and communication. I believe children thrive with attention and connection, and I bring a creative, positive energy while guiding them through tantrums, separation anxiety, and transitions with clear and consistent boundaries. I gently support children’s routines, from meals and sleep to play, reading, and outdoor time, creating a calm and engaging environment where they feel secure and cared for. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and easy to trust. Pet friendly and happy to help with child related routines. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to chat and make sure it’s a great fit for your family.

Hello My name is Simone, I’m a 21 year old student who just graduated from Diablo valley College with a certification in early childhood education. My experience includes volunteering in a Montessori preschool and volunteering in an occupational therapy clinic for children with disabilities. The ages I have the most experience with are Preschoolers from ages 3-7. I also have babysitted a couple of clients in the past. I believe I am fit to be a babysitter because I like doing arts and crafts with the children and reading books to them. Some tasks that I am able to perform is helping with making meals, light household work, helping getting ready for bedtime, and homework help (if it’s not math). I also have a calm but clear demeanor when comes to working with challenging behavior. I can’t wait to meet you and your child!
