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.

Greetings,
My name is Katelyn Tripp, and I am a 28 year old woman born and raised in Santa Cruz. In July of 2018 I graduated with a Masters in Education and a multiple subject teaching credential from UCSC. I have taken this past year to substitute teach at Gault elementary school to continue to grow and build my professional portfolio. I have worked with children ranging between 5 and 10 during this time. Prior to that, I received my BA at San Jose State in Child and Adolescent Development. While attending San Jose State I was a full time caregiver for a 10 month boy, and remained his caregiver until he was 2.5 years old and started preschool. Before that I received my AA degree from Cabrillo College in Early Childhood Education. I have spent over 7 years working with preschool, toddler and infant children. I am happy to provide you with contact information and references from both my caregiving job as well as my professional jobs.
Thank you!
