Bao Minh Thuy $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello, parents! My name is Sonah, and I am currently a full-time student majoring Health Information. Before moving to the United States last year, I lived in Vietnam, and had over three years caring for and tutoring children. During that time, I was recognized as a Star Tutor among more than 2,000 tutors at my previous company. When caring for children, I believe their safety always comes first. Beyond that, I believe the way we introduce the world to them is just as important. Children learn from the adults around them, so I am always mindful of what I say, how I act, and the values I teach. I strive to create a safe, positive, and caring environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am fluent in both English and Vietnamese, so a plus, if you'd like your child to practice or maintain their Vietnamese, I'd be happy to incorporate that into our time together in a fun and natural way. I would love the opportunity to care for your child and become someone your family can trust. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I look forward to meeting you!

Booked by 2 families in Milpitas, CA

Hi! My name is Emma. I’m a graduate student at Santa Clara university pursing a masters in counseling psychology. My experience with children ages 2-18+ began in 2020 as a freshman in college where I worked in the academic counseling office at my community college. From there I worked with 2nd graders in a school setting, supported teachers, was an intern at a head start school, I transitioned to work in the hospital supporting kids ages 5-9 years old with bereavement. Throughout the years my experience has extended from various settings and I look forward to providing a safe and fun environment for your children! I have my own form of transportation, I know how to make simple meals, and I can clean! I enjoy being outside and going on walks! Note: while I do live in Newark I am very used to commuting and don’t mind driving to different locations!
