Hello! Ive been working with children my entire working life. I began teaching swimming lessons to infants through pre-teens, babysitting infants-toddlers, and working as a high school mentor before going to college. I got a degree in Spanish literature and language in WA state (University of Puget Sound) and taught middle and high school in Andorra as a Fulbright fellow (borders Spain and France). After returning to the US, I went to Stanford to get my Masters in Education and worked with students for seven years across the Bay Area. I now work as a preschool/infant Montessori style educator/nanny, mentor, tutor, and educational consultant, in addition to pursuing my art in fusion dance and vocal performance. I love children, believe it is a life mission to help them feel understood and empowered, and have been described as quite the "Mary Poppins" advice, lullabies, and giant bag included :-) **Update: While I am currently looking for part-time and/or tutoring help, I am also available for occasional babysitting on the weekends/week nights!

Hi! I'm a part-time student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for working with children. I spent several years as a camp counselor working with special needs children through high school and college, which gave me a deep appreciation for patient, attentive, and individualized care. I have a background in engineering which means I'm reliable, detail oriented, and great at problem solving. I also grew up in a Chinese household with Mandarin as my first language, which I'm happy to incorporate naturally into our time together if that's something your family values. I'm calm, warm, and genuinely enjoy engaging with kids through play, creative activities, reading, and exploring. I believe every child deserves to feel seen and supported. I have a pediatric CPR, AED and first aid certification, and am taking child development courses. I’m happy to provide references :)

I have over 20 years of experience caring for all ages of children including over 10 years working exclusively with twin infants and toddlers. As a full-time nanny and family assistant I also helped with light housekeeping, driving children to school/activities, pet care, and preparing meals. My warm and energetic personality combined with an extensive knowledge base in childcare and developmentally appropriate activities allows me to fit in seamlessly with families and their specific needs. I am able to connect with children immediately and I often amaze parents with how quickly their “slow-to-warm” little engages with me. In addition to providing a safe and nurturing environment I bring a proactive approach to my work with families and truly enjoy offering support and pitching in. I am also available to help with deep cleaning projects, packing/unpacking, preparing for a move, and organizational projects in the home. I have a B.S. in Health Sciences and in my non-childcare hours I work as a marketing and web design consultant.

I have several years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from toddlers to tweens, and I bring patience, creativity, and calmness to every job. I’m dependable and comfortable working with pets too! I aim to create a nurturing, safe, and fun environment where your child feels seen, heard, and supported. Whether you need an occasional date-night sitter or a reliable part-time helper, I’d love to be someone your family can count on.
