Hello Families, My name is Koa (they/them), which is my preferred name. I’m non-binary and value creating inclusive, affirming spaces for all families and kids. I’m a calm, patient, and playful caregiver who loves building epic Lego sets and dancing to a good beat. I currently partner with HopSkipDrive, safely transporting amazing kiddos across neurodiversities. I hold a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, and bring a long history of helping people feel grounded, curious, and connected to their bodies—whether through outdoor adventure or imaginative play. With over 10 years of babysitting experience, I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to 19-year-olds, including my nieces, nephews, and friends’ kids. I spent 8 years teaching middle and high school health and physical education, building deep relationships with young people and supporting their development. I also worked for 8 years as an outdoor adventure camp counselor, leading fun, inclusive, and safe Read more experiences for kids ages 6–17—including driving 15-passenger vans. I’m First Aid and CPR certified, trauma-informed, and tuned in to the unique rhythms and needs of each child I care for. I also offer pet sitting, gardening, and personal assistant support, and I strive to bring warmth, dependability, and joy to every family I work with.
