Frequently Asked Questions
1. What type of childcare services do you offer?
I specialize in providing high-quality childcare & family services on an as-needed basis. Services cater to families seeking occasional care and support including Childcare, Childcare+, and Postpartum Support. Check out the Services section for more details.
2. What’s the difference between Childcare and Childcare+?
With Childcare, my focus is mainly on providing care for the children. Be it at home, at a park, during the day, or in the evening. Childcare services work for when you need a few hours away.
With Childcare+ I’m an extension to your family. Services extend beyond childcare and may include help with Cooking & Clean up, Tidying up, Homework, Bath & Bedtime, Making/Cleaning Bottles, and more. Childcare+ services work best when you need (or want!) an extra set of hands around the house or are solo parenting for a few days.
3. Do you offer nanny services?
My goal is to support as many families as possible. As such, I currently do not offer nanny services or ongoing, part-time hours.
4. Do you work with families with pets in the home?
As much as I adore animals, unfortunately, due to allergies, I am unable to offer assistance to families who have cats in their homes.
Homes with well-behaved dogs are acceptable.
5. Do you work outside of San Francisco?
Currently, I'm exclusively supporting families within a designated service area in San Francisco. This arrangement enables me to accommodate more than one family each day and ensure punctuality for every appointment. Please refer to the Services section for a map of the service area.
6. How do I book childcare services with you?
Before booking an appointment, I typically complete one complimentary intro call and one 2-hour paid Meet & Greet.
The Meet & Greet is a great opportunity to get to know each other better, answer additional questions, and make sure we are a mutual fit. From there, we’ll coordinate based on the dates/times needed.
7 . What are your operating hours?
On weekdays, I’m available from 10:00 am through 8:00 pm. During the weekend, I can be available from 10:00 am through midnight. Please note that I can book appointments up to two months before the date. The sooner I get you on the calendar, the better!
8. If you worked in tech before, why did you decide to work with children and families?
I genuinely love kids and enjoy being around them. In this season of life, doing the same kind of work I used to do is no longer appealing. I’ve found so much joy in working with kids (and my friends would say I’m good at it!) that seeing where this goes is exciting.
