Hi I'm Ushio, I have raised/cared for children for over 9years. I love being around children and like to introduce them basic sciences. I have Recognition of Excellence Award in Praxis in Biological Sciences and also have experience teaching at a Japanese supplemental school (junior high schoolers). My expertise is in ecological science but can also teach Japanese, basic math, and other sciences to some extent. I'm a native Japanese speaker, so If you would like your little ones to learn Japanese, I can teach them while I babysit :) Depending on the situation/children's interests, I can introduce types of insects, periodic table, and have some story books based on ecological theories. If you don't mind a bit of mess, I can also provide a little at home experiments (using all safe materials such as salt, sugar, food coloring etc.). I focus on the interests of each child and try to provide them with a fun time to help them recognize that the learning is fun. *I don't do strict tutoring/teaching. I can also simply play with them. I will jump with them at trampoline place, will get in the water at swim class, and play tags with them at park...I play seriously :) Available Fri evening & some Sunday afternoon. Single parent discount available. Look forward hearing from you! Ushio

My name is Dayana Leach, and I have over 7 years of childcare experience, including 4 years as a Pre-K aide in an elementary school and 3 years working as a full-time nanny. I have had the joy of caring for children ranging from newborns through 5th grade, and I love helping each child grow and thrive at their own stage of development. With certifications in CPR and First Aid, as well as classroom experience as a teacher’s aide, I bring both safety and structure to my care. I balance being calm and nurturing with creativity and fun—whether that means planning engaging activities, supporting learning, or simply being a steady and loving presence throughout the day. I am also a new mom to a 2-month-old, and I’m looking to welcome another child into my home to provide care alongside my little one. I believe this creates a warm, family-like environment where children can play, learn, and grow together. As a Christian, I strive to live out my faith in my daily life and in the way I care for children—by modeling kindness, patience, and love in everything I do. I’m comfortable with driving, daily routines, meal prep, and homework help, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and encouraging space for kids. Families often describe me as reliable, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy building long-term connections with both children and parents.

Hi! I’m Sydney, and I’m currently studying to earn my BSN to become a Pediatric Nurse specializing in Developmental Disabilities. I’ve always had a passion for working with children, especially helping them grow, learn, and feel confident in who they are.

I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping children safe, happy, and engaged. I bring strong caregiving skills, including supervision, basic first aid, age-appropriate activities, and positive communication. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and attentive to each child’s unique needs and routines.
