Hello, If you are looking for experience you’ve found it! Ive worked in a hospital O.R. The reason I share that is because I do not panic and have seen it ALL. Safety being my number one priority for your child. I am en educated Early Childhood caregiver with all of the CA required Units to teach preschool and fully Red Cross CPR/First aid certified. I was a private Nanny full time for a local family for several years, caring for their 2 children from infancy. Those children are school age now. The last 2 years Ive been providing back up care for business, serving families in the Bay area providing care in their homes. Im a big proponent of play and the important role it plays in a child's development. I especially enjoy outside time. I studied horticulture and am hugely passionate about plants. My life has always been caregiving either of people or plants. Trust is important to me. I am the one you can entrust with your most precious child! It’s a privilege to be trusted by you and to provide your family with excellence. I am a married Mom of 2 girls ages 22 and 19. I look forward to chatting with you about your childcare need.

Michelle is professional, reliable, and has a natural warmth. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her!

Losa 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

Aloha! I've been a childcare specialist on/off for the last decade. I specialize in conversational language development and helping children build confidence through age-appropriate activities. I love to laugh and am partial to a dance party. I know how to join the rhythm of a family unit, explain big ideas in a kid-friendly way and communicate concisely with parents so they can handle disciplinary action in a timely manner. My favorite kid stuff to do is drawing tutorials on Art Kid Hub (YouTube), footraces at Lake Elizabeth and k-pop karaoke.

I can't recommend Losa enough. She is kind, patient, and has a calm presence that helps kids feel safe, comfortable, and understood. She's also fun, playful, and a little silly, which makes it easy for children to connect with her and genuinely enjoy being around her. One of the things I appreciate most about Losa is the way she helps children understand their emotions and behaviors. Instead of simply correcting them, she takes the time to help them recognize what they're feeling and gives them age-appropriate tools to work through those emotions. She encourages confidence, emotional regulation, and self-awareness in a way that feels supportive and empowering. Losa also does a great job of balancing support with healthy boundaries. She knows when to step in to guide a child and when to step back so they can problem-solve, learn, and build independence on their own. Her focus on conversational language development and confidence-building comes through naturally in the way she interacts with children every day. Any family would be lucky to have Losa. She brings warmth, joy, and encouragement wherever she goes, and her presence is truly a gift.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
