Hello my name is Teri, I was raised in Alameda, I am the second oldest out of 4 children, growing up with 1 older brother an d 2 younger sisters, my youngest sister was born when I was nine so I was introduced to babies at a young age. Raised by a single mom she always instilled in me a strong work ethic. I worked for 20+ years in the Tech Industry (Medical Devices). As a Supervisor, Analyst and Health & Safety. Senior Care In 2017 I resigned from my job of 17 yrs and relocated to Arizona to live with my ailing father who lost his wife, he needed help with daily activities, cooking, cleaning, shopping, Dr appts. After his passing I moved to Oregon and semi-retired in 2020. Children While in Oregon I took a part time job with KIDSNW as a Personal Support worker. They work with the State to get help for families who have children with disabilities. I was placed with a family who has 7 yr old twins, I helped them with daily activities like dressing, reading, art projects, homework, playing games, playing outside. I also supported the parents with home chores and accompanied them on errands and watched the children on their date nights. Infants and Toddlers I helped a family in Alameda County 2 to 3 times a week for 5 yrs who had new born twins and a 3 yr old, I assisted with bathing, clothing, changing diapers, preparing bottles for the evening and helped parents with household duties. I am currently working with a family that has twins a boy and girl they had just turned 2 when I started with them. My duties are changing diapers, feeding, bathing, reading books, drawing taking them to the park to play they have alot of energy. I also help with household chores. I relocated to Contra Costa County to help out my sister recover after her surgery, now that she is feeling better I would like to resume working part time. My primary interest is finding part time steady work assisting families with young children. In my spare time I like to garden, walk my dog and go to the movies. I am a self-starter motivated person who is easy going, friendly, honest, dependable, respectful, and I like to think I have a good sense of humor. During challenging situations I can act calmly and with patience I am sure my life experience is the reason for this. I hope you will consider me for your child care needs. Best regards, Teri
“Ms. Teri took care of my son in the morning and helped him prepare for preschool while I was conducting conference calls. She was reliable, punctual, responsive, and trustworthy with a high sense of responsibility. My son was excited to see her every time. She even went above and beyond to help us tidy up the kitchen. We feel lucky to have met Teri. I would recommend her!”

Hi! My name is Nayely and I am 25 years old. I recently graduated with a BA in Psychology at CSU East Bay. I also have an associate’s degree in liberal arts: math and science. I previously worked as behavior technician for autistic children and really enjoyed it. I was able to help kids develop their communication skills. I am a caring, patient and very responsible person. I take great pride in being always on time to anything I do. Growing up in a Hispanic household meant that I often cared for my 4 younger siblings. I also grew up helping my other family with their infants as well. I look forward to building connections with you and your children. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. Thank you!
“If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. Nayely is an absolute godsend. I was drowning with work and school and she was the biggest help with cleaning. Will definitely rehire ”
