A little bit about me

Hello Families,
A little about me: I am a local of Santa Cruz. I am currently a student trying to obtain a long-term goal of my Bachelor’s of Nursing. I am also a CA Certified Medical Assistant; I’ve worked in Family Practice and Pediatrics.

At about 16 I started to work as a full-time assistant for established local preschool serving 10-15 children, ages 2-6+. The daily support included individual and group care. Daily schedule activities included reading, arts and crafts, free play-time, meals prep, and project-based seasonal activities. And of course, connecting and listening to their growing sense of self and wonder and always having lots of good FUN! From there it progressed in to Nanny positions.
I am medically trained in infant, child, adult CPR and First aid.
I am interested in part time to full time work, with a set schedule, with some flexibility. Look forward to hearing more about you and your families individualized needs and what you are looking for.

More About Me

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

At 13, I was a Youth Counselor at a summer riding camp that developed into a Senior Youth Camp Counselor and then Assistant Trainer. I mentored children from as young as the age of two, too adults. Teaching all about equine behavior, herd culture, ranch etiquette, and safety for over 13 plus years!

Then at 16 I began to work as a assistant teacher, to a local preschool.

Since then I've worked on and off as a nanny for multiple families over the last 10 years, while simultaneously working on my education or in the medical field.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Going on adventures (walks in nature), playing outside, using creative play stimulating imagination. Reading, I love reading and story time! Art is something I love sharing with kids.

Hi! My name is Vanessah, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable college student attending Cabrillo College. I’ve always enjoyed being around children and creating a fun, positive, and safe environment where they feel comfortable and cared for.

I’m comfortable helping keep kids entertained through activities such as arts and crafts, games, outdoor play, reading, and other age-appropriate activities. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals, and maintaining routines when needed.

Although I’m just beginning my professional babysitting journey, I’m responsible, eager to learn, and committed to providing dependable and attentive care. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and help provide a safe, fun, and caring environment for your little ones!
