Hello Families, My name is Dora. I graduated from the University of Washington and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Teaching and a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I come from a family of educators, and working with children has always been an important part of my life. I have extensive experience working with children from infancy through elementary school, including experience as a preschool teacher, substitute teacher, private tutor, and childcare provider. My background in education and childcare has given me a strong understanding of child development, positive guidance, classroom routines, and age-appropriate learning and play. I’m CPR certified and a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, with additional training in autism and neurodiversity. Working with children is something I truly enjoy, especially getting to know each child’s personality and interests. Reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, board games, and trips to the park are some of my favorite things to do with kids. Activities can always be adjusted based on the child’s interests and the family’s routine. However, my availability is currently limited, and I’m mainly accepting occasional bookings that are a good mutual fit. BOOKING POLICY: For schedule changes within 48 hours that reduce the booked hours, the original hours are expected to be honored. Thank you for understanding! :) Warmly, Dora

Hello! My name is Amada, and I’ve had the joy of caring for children and supporting Bay Area families for the past 15 years. I’m currently offering dependable backup care for times when your regular caregiver isn’t available. My love for children began early as the oldest of 10 and grew even deeper through the experience of raising my own twins, who are now college graduates. I especially enjoy caring for newborns through age 7 and have lots of experience with twins and multiples. I love creating a calm, nurturing environment with storytelling, age-appropriate play, and plenty of warmth and encouragement. I’m also currently training to become a certified infant sleep consultant and enjoy supporting new parents with gentle routines and postpartum care. I’d love to be a trusted helping hand when your family needs one!

Games, crafts, tutoring, and homework. 🚙 I drive my own car. 💉My household is fully vaccinated and all of my vaccines and tests are updated (Covid, Flu, T-Dap, TB test, etc). 🥰 I treat children as my own and love to make them feel safe with me.

I am currently working in a TK classroom at an elementary school in Santa Clara. I also go to school full time. I would like to pick up some occasional babysitting hours in the evenings and on weekends. I have always enjoyed working with children and their families. I have past experience with all ages, infant through school age. My job titles included babysitter, teacher' s aide, teacher and center director. I began babysitting for family friends in high school and later moved on to child care center based positions. I did take a break to be at home with my daughter and was able to take some ECE classes as well. I have experience as the primary caregiver at a nursery center for ages 6 months to 2 years. I was also the director of a Child Development Center as well as a before and after school teacher. I have also cared for young children in my home which included overnight accommodations as needed by the families. I really enjoy a play based atmosphere.

“Rachel came early upon last minute request and did dishes after the kids went to bed. She was very helpful and great at putting the kids to bed.”
