Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and energetic caregiver who genuinely loves working with kids. I have experience with children of all ages and personalities, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and included. I currently work at an after-school program, which has helped me build strong skills in staying organized, keeping kids engaged, and handling different situations calmly. I also volunteer on some Sundays at a children’s ministry at church, where I usually work with toddlers—so I’m very comfortable with younger kids as well! In my free time, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, and I like bringing that same fun, positive energy when I’m with kids—whether that’s playing games, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy. I’m reliable, easygoing, and someone parents can trust to take great care of their kids while making sure they have a good time too!

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.”

Bo $40 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly experienced caregiver and educator offering a premium, enrichment-focused childcare experience. With a doctorate in music and over 20 years of service as a youth teacher in my church community, I bring a unique blend of academic depth, creativity, and nurturing care to each family I work with. As a mother of two (ages 11 and 16), I understand firsthand the importance of consistency, structure, and emotional attunement. I create an environment where children are not only well cared for, but also intellectually and creatively engaged through music, guided learning, and thoughtful interaction. My weekday afternoons are dedicated to my work as a piano instructor and to caring for my own children; I am now intentionally seeking to support younger families during morning/early afternoon hours, where I can offer high-quality care. I approach every child with the same level of love, attentiveness, and responsibility that I give my own, and I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.
