Hi! My name is Theo and I'm an artist with extensive childcare experience. I began my childcare journey in 2020 as a private swim instructor for children with special needs, then moved into part time and full time nannying while working as a barista. I currently work as an Outdoor Lead Guide for a young toddler class at a Montessori preschool. As much as I love my students and the community of families I work with, I am attending a full time circus school program beginning in the fall and need to work later hours in the day to accommodate with my class schedule. My favorite thing about working with children is witnessing them experience the world for the first time. It's truly amazing how much you can learn about life by observing a kiddo's unfiltered perspective. Working with younger children has always brought a deep sense of fulfillment and joy to my life. I would love to meet you and your family to see if I'm the right fit for you and your needs!

Hi, My name is Sandrita but you can also call me Sandy! I work with kids/students of all ages to create a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I have prior babysitting experience and currently serve in the children’s ministry at my church caring for 2-3 year-olds. I’ve also worked with elementary aged kids and also have led high school student groups and summer camps, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment through play, reading, and simple routines, and I’m happy to help with preparing meals and snacks. I’m bilingual as I speak both English and Spanish. I also maintain a non-smoking and alcohol-free lifestyle. I enjoy building positive, meaningful connections with the children I care for and would love the opportunity to support your family as your babysitter!

Compassionate and dependable caregiver with over 5 years of experience providing personal care to seniors, along with hands-on experience caring for young children as a mother of two toddlers. Skilled in assisting with daily living activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and providing emotional support. Patient, nurturing, and committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for both children and seniors.

I love children and am a child at heart myself. An artist, I paint, sing in a band, write, and have acted in independent films. I have primarily supported myself as a freelance graphic designer, and have been self-employed for many years, so I have vast experiences being able to handle multiple responsibilities, urgent needs from my clients (in this case, little munchkins), and be cool under pressure. I'm also a mom myself, though my own little munchkins are grown and on their own now (and taller than me!). I am very gentle, organized, and fun and have an empathetic nature. And because I otherwise work freelance, my schedule is flexible. I would so love to help care for kids near me, and would happily lead them in projects, too, or come up with creative ideas on how we could pass the time (aka--not on screens). I have led classes in drawing and painting for both kids and adults for years as well, and would have fun teaching or leading instruction in art-making or crafts (I'm also a crafter--crochet, sewing, weaving, air-dry clay, etc.) I have a cat and have also had dogs, so I'm very comfortable with pet care. Basically, if you have little people in your home--or furry friends, too--I'm here to help!
