Hi I’m Sarah. 📌I just downloaded this app, so apparently I don’t have any reviews on here. But I do have reviews from care.com and references if you would like to see. I've been a nanny and teacher for about 7 years collectively. I've worked with children ranging from 2 months old to even teenagers! I can help with meal prepping, kids laundry and helping out with light housework. I like doing crafts with kids, healthy meals and snack with the kids and I could also help with homework.

Please reach out if you have any questions. So excited to work with your family!

My name is Selome. I am a mother and a wife originally from Ethiopia, and I come from a large family. Over the past seven years, I have dedicated my career to working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I have experience at a childcare center that serves children from infancy through 13 years old. In this role, I worked in the preschool section with infants and toddlers, as well as in the after-school program for kindergarten through 6th grade. I hold over 12 units of early childhood education certificates and trainings, and I am CPR certified. My experience with infants and toddlers includes essential tasks such as changing diapers and maintaining their cleanliness, feeding them, and providing consistent, healthy sleep routines. I prioritize playtime and engage them in age-appropriate activities, such as visiting the park and participating in hands-on fun that promotes fine motor skills. With older children, I not only organize enjoyable indoor and outdoor activities but also read to them and assist with their schoolwork, fostering a supportive and enriching environment. I have a deep love for animals. I cherished a beautiful dog named Spanky, who was with me for 16 wonderful years until he passed away. Currently, I have two lovely cats named Sophi and Cammy, who have been part of my family for the past 10 years. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with them and playing together.
I'm a PhD student and certified yoga teacher based in San Francisco, currently transitioning from a tech career into philosophy of mind. I teach restorative and gentle yoga classes and bring the same calm, attentive presence to childcare. I have several years of experience caring for infants and children ages 3–7. I'm comfortable with bedtime routines, meals and structured play. I also absolutely love simple crafts, baking, and creative activities with kids. I have my own car and am available for evening babysitting and last-minute bookings.
