About Us

Hi, I'm Saachi, an educator with a deep love for building community with families and other educators.
I’ve spent the last decade working in schools and with families & educators all across the SF Bay Area. My drive as an educator has always been about building strong bonds, creating a lasting sense of community.
Despite my love for teaching, it was unsustainable alone financially. 82% of educators in the U.S. working in classrooms (PreK-12) have to seek out a second income. Babysitting became an obvious avenue, not just for financial support, but as a way to continue learning & growing by engaging with families in their homes.
Driven by my own frustration over the lack of resources, I believe bridging the gap between parents and educators is a sustainable avenue of mutual support. My vision is to establish a community that connects families seeking extra support with educators looking for a second or transitional income. This platform would serve as a safe haven for parents facing challenges in finding care, especially for children with unique health, behavioral & emotional, or neurodiverse needs. Alongside, it offers educators an alternative to traditional classrooms, allowing us to continue our desire to impact children.
I believe in building a supportive community united by a common goal – finding joy together in providing the best possible care for the children in our lives so they can thrive.

What are the differences in care from an educator
vs a traditional babysitter/nanny?
→
Sachi’s educators take the time to understand your needs as a family, your child’s needs as well as parents. They have foundations in child development and educational practices. While traditional nannies or babysitters typically work with 2-10 families through their careers, the majority of our educators have worked with hundreds of families. This gives them tremendous experience and insight into working with the diversity in temperaments of children, family values and preferences, and cultural practices among the many variables that make up your child and family. Our educators are here to build long-term and lasting relationships where they engage your child in teachable moments throughout their time together as well as being able to offer support, advice and naturally weave in parent education.
When are educators typically available for care? →
All the time! One group of our educators are still full time in the classroom and are able to provide care in the evening, weekends and holidays. The other group are educators who have transitioned out of the field while still holding a teaching license, they are looking for flexible or full-time positions and are able to work with you to meet your care needs.
