A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Nancy! A Wisconsin native lucky enough to move here 20 years ago, I’m excited to be available to support you as you raise your family! My experience includes my in-home care center focused on newborns-pre K before starting my own family. I home schooled my children for years and then joined the workforce as an educational assistant in the school district with K/4 through High school ages before moving here. Now, after 10 years working at a popular store here in Soquel, I’ve spent the last year 1/2 caring for my own two grandkids during COVID when their care center closed. I’m excited to be available to help you with your little ones. I’m high energy, high humor, and yet always calm and helpful during the stressors that families encounter on the daily, including dirty dishes and laundry. Im available to not only lighten the load, but most importantly, keep your kids happy and safe~I love the outdoors, imagination and staying childlike as often as possible, with maturity & joy.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

From an early age of babysitting, working for bible study childcare groups, Mother’s Day out programs as a young woman, to my own in home care center before having my own kids, and after, employment in school districts, private and public, to working for my grown children as childcare provider /household help, to being leader to staff in the grocery store arena. I’m calm under crisis, very relaxed and well known for my quick wit, and ability to get people -including littles- engaged and cooperative. My humor and imagination create a safe and easy environment for kiddos while providing them the space and tools to thrive.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Outdoor wonderings to playgrounds, walks, painting, make believe, reading, wrestling, snuggling, listening, etc. Flowing with the child’s rhythms with guidance and structure as needed.

The most important part about being a nanny...

being a safe, secure, fun “Mimi” for kiddos that lets parents feel comfortable, relaxed and guilt free while getting the support they need to thrive as a family.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Engaging with my little charge Jarred, age 3. Jarred always showed up being someone else and I would always welcome Jarred only to be told most days “ I’m not Jarred, I’m Tom and I’m a Twain (train) engineew” …or Bob, the lineman or Joe the street sweeper! I loved that boy and his imagination and learned so many great things as I listened to his stories of his adventures as those guys! Lol, so much to go off of to build a fun engaged day for him! 30 years later, and I can still hear his voice, filled with such gusto! I hope he’s not outgrown that vivid imagination!
