A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Yashica a freshman at ucsc and a patient nanny/babysitter who loves creating a safe environment where children feel supported. I've been caring for kids since I was young, including supervising children throughout a full week of day camp and working with kids during events, and nannying. I hold a CPR certification from ProCPR and First Aid experience through a medical pathway, so safety is a top priority. I'm comfortable caring for children of all backgrounds and individual needs, and I'll always respect your household rules.

A little bit about me
(Condensed version due to 1000 word limit)…
Hello, I’m Vanessa! Proud Mom of two! My daughter, 13 yrs. and my son, 12. Both attend Mission Hill Middle school. A few months ago, the rent went up and we were forced to move back to San Jose. I continue to commute my children to and from San Jose to Santa Cruz everyday for school and because I am unemployed at the moment and gas prices are ridiculous, I spend my time in the area while waiting for my kids to finish school so that I am not having to make multiple trips back and forth. My availability is 9am-2pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and 9am-12pm / 12:30pm on Wednesdays. It’s been so difficult to find a position that works around my Children’s school schedule. I am a genuine, honest, loyal, loving and kind person and as I am all of these things to my own children, I would not be any less to yours! I do appreciate your time and consideration and hope to speak with you soon.
Kind Regards,
Vanessa (Ness) Carson

A little bit about me
I'm currently an online behavior technician for children on the spectrum a couple days a week. I'm the oldest of 7 and I watched my younger brothers and sisters to help our parents. I have experience nannying a sweet toddler, but I love kids of all ages. Outdoors or indoors, it's important for children to be engaged! In my free time I enjoy sketching, reading, biking and yoga.

A little bit about me
As an experienced nanny and parent, I believe I have a unique perspective on the importance a great caregiver can bring to a busy family. While respecting boundaries and the emotional atmosphere of the home, I like to feel that I am an honorary member of your family. I am willing to pitch in with errands, homework, meal prep or whatever is needed - and I am aware that may change daily! Also willing to travel with your family and I have extensive travel experience.

Nanny Andrea
"We have been lucky enough to have Andrea nanny our one and sometimes two boys. She’s truly a part of the family. She’s always on time, entertaining the boys, and even cleans when the boys are napping. They love her so much they cry when she leaves! Our boys enjoy being outdoors most of the day and require A LOT of energy. I never worry about their safety or comfort. I 10/10 recommend her."
