My name is Edith, and I’m looking to connect with families in need of consistent childcare support. I am an Early Childhood Educator with 10+ years of experience working with children ages 2–18 in various settings. My journey began as an After School Program Leader and Educational Specialist, where I created and facilitated curriculum for K–12 students. From there, I became a preschool teacher and discovered my true passion in Early Childhood Education. Since then, I’ve served as both Co-Teacher and Head Teacher at private childcare centers, including a Spanish Immersion school and a center supporting families in the tech community. I love to focus my teaching style by prioritizing Social and Emotional Learning and incorporating Music and movement at any opportunity given. I also love to tag team with parents to really get to know you Childs developmental needs, and how I can support that while they are under my care.

Elizabeth $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Liz, and I have been working with children and families for over 25 years in many different settings—as a babysitter, live-in nanny, tutor, after-school and summer program leader, scout camp staff, in-patient and out-patient mental health treatment provider, facilitating parenting classes, and as a therapist specializing in youth and families. I also grew up caring for my four younger brothers, as well as many nieces and nephews, so childcare has always been a natural part of my life. Alongside childcare, I have provided professional dog and cat sitting, cared for my own pets (including a bearded dragon!), and supported families with household tasks and cleaning. For example, I worked weekly for a family in Palo Alto for eight months, helping keep their home clean and welcoming. I especially enjoy organizing and home decor. With a background in social work and mental health, I strive to create a safe, affirming space for children and families, and I am experienced in supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a minor in Music, and I enjoy incorporating creativity, patience, and structure into the care I provide. Personally, I grew up in a small mountain town in Northern Utah, but have now called the Bay Area home for the past 15 years. Outside of work, I love rock climbing, reading, playing guitar and singing, art, tabletop games, and spending time at the beach. I’m also bilingual in English and conversational/intermediate-advanced Spanish. I’m a proud parent to two wonderful kids—an 19-year-old who lives in Utah and a 6-year-old who just started 1st grade. With my youngest now in school and spending part of the week with the other parent, I have more flexibility in my schedule to provide reliable care and support for other families. I bring not only professional experience but also the heart of a parent to the work I do. I look forward to meeting you!

Bao Minh Thuy $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello, parents! My name is Sonah, and I am currently a full-time student majoring Health Information. Before moving to the United States last year, I lived in Vietnam, and had over three years caring for and tutoring children. During that time, I was recognized as a Star Tutor among more than 2,000 tutors at my previous company. When caring for children, I believe their safety always comes first. Beyond that, I believe the way we introduce the world to them is just as important. Children learn from the adults around them, so I am always mindful of what I say, how I act, and the values I teach. I strive to create a safe, positive, and caring environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am fluent in both English and Vietnamese, so a plus, if you'd like your child to practice or maintain their Vietnamese, I'd be happy to incorporate that into our time together in a fun and natural way. I would love the opportunity to care for your child and become someone your family can trust. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I look forward to meeting you!
