Teona $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Teo, and I am a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver. I have experience working with children and always focus on creating a safe and positive environment. I’m comfortable communicating in English in everyday situations and working closely with families to meet their needs. I enjoy spending time with children through play, learning activities, and helping with routines. I love caregiving because it allows me to support children’s growth while building trust with families. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to help!

tuce $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Tuce — a caregiver based in the Bay Area. I’m a Turkish immigrant building my career in healthcare, and caregiving is the direction I’m intentionally moving toward. I completed my CNA clinical training at Sunnyvale Post Acute and have since been working with home care agencies in the Bay Area. I’m also starting Home Health Aide training in October — so this work is something I’m committed to long-term, not just picking up on the side. I grew up in a culture where caring for children and elderly family members is something families do themselves. That’s shaped how I show up: calm, attentive, and genuinely comfortable with the rhythms of a home. Spending time with children is something I genuinely enjoy — not just a responsibility I take on. I like to play, I follow the child’s lead, and I find real pleasure in those small moments that make a kid light up. At the same time, I take safety seriously and keep a close eye on what’s happening around us. That combination — staying engaged and staying aware — is something I’m naturally comfortable with. I have CPR and First Aid training. I’m bilingual in English and Turkish. I’m reliable, I communicate openly with parents, and I’ll leave your home the way I found it. Available for one-time bookings, date nights, and weekend coverage. Happy to chat before you book — references available on request.
