A little bit about me

Hi. I’m Camila Hennessey! I’m 19 years old, bilingual (English/Spanish) and I consider myself a caring, hard working, kind, and dedicated person. I am currently in my last semester at Cabrillo College getting my associates degree in environmental sciences, and am also working another part time job. But I am really interested in getting to work with and take care of children. I have 2 little sisters (6 and 10) who I adore with my whole heart! and being able to care for them and be there for them as they grow up has inspired me into wanting to expand my babysitting/ nannying skills more! I am happy to do light housekeeping, meal prep, and I also have a valid SS drivers license so I’d be more than happy taking the kids out to explore, learn, and have fun! I will always give my full attention and care to your child/children, follow your rules, and I am always willing to learn and help out as much as I can.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask me any questions!

A little bit about me

Hello, I have babysat children since I was aa a child myself all the way through my college years and now beyond to supplement my other income. I am wonderful around kids; with babysitting, I have experience with babies as young as 6 months to high school age. I have even worked with a few school districts tutoring special needs kids (aged 5 through college) and am ABA trained to work with children on the autism spectrum. I live in Santa Cruz County but work in Santa Clara County so I am very flexible where I go.

I am very hands-on and like to do crafts with kids and take them to the park, etc.

I am available for date nights, long/overnights, pet sitting, weekend activities during the day (park, etc.), tutoring, cleaning and special needs care. I also can help with your elderly parents or relatives -- I used to work with Hospice as a volunteer and have experience helping elderly patients. I welcome a conversation with you to learn more and look forward to hearing from you.

A little bit about me

I truly love caring for kids, it comes naturally to me. I enjoy building relationships with children and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. Watching kids learn, play, and grow brings me a lot of joy, and I love being someone they can count on.
I’m a single mom of three amazing kids (including twins!), and I’ve been caring for children for over 16years. I have experience with all ages, from infants to teenagers. Alongside raising my own, I’ve cared for other families’ children as well, including other sets of twins and overnight infant care.
I have hands-on experience with baby-wearing, cloth diapering, and baby-led weaning. I’m familiar with the needs of autistic and ADHD children, and I use a gentle, trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming approach. I’m calm under pressure, attentive, and I know how to meet kids where they’re at.

A little bit about me

Greetings! I’m a semi-retired very active GMA who’s native to SC County & adores children of ALL ages! Currently renewing my certs in First Aid/CPR. I raised a very successful daughter as a single mom (I understand those challenges well!) and will be available for flexible scheduling. My GKids call me the “GMA Whisperer”, convinced I’m the only person to EVER calm a fussy baby, using my patented “Lulla-Rock” technique! (Thanks for the VOTE of confidence kids) BTW there’s no patent pending, it’s experience, love & trust that comforts baby or any child. Listening & observing the individual needs of each child is imperative to their growth and developmental success. Good nutrition, a stimulating environment of educational (as required) activities, and implementation of the families core values is important. I will show up for you… day or night, like a silent partner without exception and ready to handle your needs. I’m excited about building a relationship with you & yours!

A little bit about me

-I’m 23 years old and I love drawing and exercising. This summer I’ve successfully completed the EMT certification program at Cabrillo college- with intentions of keeping an open mind to potential new job opportunities with that. I’m 1 of 11 siblings, I know, right? My mother and most of my siblings have careers in healthcare- ultimately exposing me to the baby sitting/child care of most of my nieces and nephews, from a young age.
-I like to pursue life with an open mind to all; prioritizing kindness and respect in each interaction Im faced.
-I genuinely love cleaning/organizing.
