Hi families! My name is Lee. I’m new to San Francisco and looking for some part-time work while I continue teaching. I currently work part-time as a preschool teacher at a Reggio-inspired school in the Mission District. I bring 4+ years of experience in early childhood education, including my time at Patagonia’s Truckee River Child Development Center in Reno, Nevada. My background is rooted in child-led learning, creativity, and nurturing warm, secure relationships with young children. I’m patient, reliable, and very tuned in to children’s emotional needs. I love helping little ones build independence, explore through play, and feel safe and celebrated. I’d love to support your family with gentle, attentive care and fun learning moments.

Hey! My name is Sana! I have a few years of experience with both dogs and cats. I grew up with two cats for most of my life and also lived with the most lovable golden doodle, Nala! Over the past three years, I’ve also helped pet sit for friends’ cats and dogs, and I’ve cared for my roommate’s dog, Nala, for multiple days at a time. I currently work in a hybrid position, so I’m in the office three days a week. On those days, I usually leave around 8 a.m. and return by 5 p.m. I’m very flexible with my schedule and can adjust my in-office days or visit times to fit your pet’s needs. I love meeting new furry friends and will always be patient and attentive to your pet’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! :)
I’m an experienced educator and caregiver based in San Francisco, bringing an unique blend of teaching, outdoor education, and enrichment-based childcare. I currently work at a private school as an Extended Day Program Teacher and Technology Co-Teacher, where I support students’ social-emotional growth while teaching coding, animation, and digital literacy to elementary-aged children. My background includes working as a Naturalist and Camp Leader, where I led outdoor education programs, facilitated team-building on ropes courses, and designed engaging, hands-on curriculum in science, history, and environmental stewardship. I’ve worked with groups of all sizes—from small cohorts to over 100 students—and am confident managing a wide range of personalities, needs, and energy levels. I specialize in creating structured, play-based experiences that keep kids engaged, curious, and supported. Whether it’s STEM projects, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or imaginative play, I tailor activities to each child’s interests and developmental needs. I also speak Mandarin and have experience supporting multilingual learners. With certifications in Wilderness First Aid, CPR, and AED, plus my own reliable vehicle, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I create meaningful, fun, and enriching experiences for every child I work with.
I am newly retired and looking to be a family/personal assistant. I love working with children and seniors. Part-time work is ideal. I am happy to assist with errands. I reside in Noe Valley and have access to an auto. Looking forward to being your "go to and in a pickle assistant".
