A little bit about me
Reliable, friendly, patient marketing professional and mother of a 21-year-old college student. Looking for occasional care jobs while searching for a flexible corporate job. As a mom of a child who went to Montessori, public school, and University (opera), I chaperoned choir trips to Europe, music lessons, and kids' theater. I have a BA in Literature from UC Irvine, lived in Germany for a year, and speak some German and French. For 25 years, I've managed sales, marketing, events, and websites related to music, education, tech, and retail for corporate and family businesses, so I’m a good multitasker and calm under pressure. I was a sitter in my teens, including autistic children. I've had cats, dogs, and fish. Happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, chaperoning zoom lessons, transportation, and shopping (I am a Costco member). My SUV seats 7 (or 5 with groceries and a stroller). Passed Red Cross Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Lorianna, 26 years old, originally born in Kenya. Since then I have lived in Kenya, England, Australia and Bali and moved to Santa Cruz almost 3 years ago now!
I have over 6 years experience nannying kids (9 months - 13 years old) as well as experience teaching online english to children around the world. I have two younger brothers who I cared for alot as I grew up so I am very familiar with childcare.
I love coming up with fun, exciting and creative ideas for the kids and I to do together, such as art projects, making clay sculptures, outdoor walks, collecting shells, playing in the ocean and going to the park! I am passionate about childcare and understand the importance of safety first as well as creating a warm and loving environment where they feel heard and comfortable always.
I would love to be able to help you take care for your children! I am searching for part-time work and I am able to be flexible with scheduling. References available.

I grew up in Oakland and went to school at UCSC then stayed in the area afterwards working in the outdoor education field. I find it special for be an extra adult in a child’s life that they can go to for help and learn from in addition to their parents. I really enjoy art, nature, cooking, singing, and going on adventures! I am very responsible, organized and communicative. I’d love to meet you to see how my experience and skills can fit you and your families needs!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Zoe and I am looking for a family to help out part-time starting August 2021! I am a second-year at UCSC studying Legal Studies and French.
I am looking to help out once or twice a week, preferably for 'date nights,' or for occasional tutoring, as I will be continuing my work with another family twice a week.
I am available usually Mon/Wed/Fri, but only until classes start on Sep. 23, but can still do date nights.
My experience has been with infants (7 mo-1 y/o) as well as older kids (6 y/o - 12 y/o). I am happy to tutor your kids, play with your kids, run errands, perform household duties, and prepare food. I live in the Seabright neighborhood, provide my own transportation, and have a fairly flexible schedule until classes start in September. I am punctual, enthusiastic, and vaccinated.
I will be ready to start whenever and I am happy to meet socially distanced or on zoom beforehand to get to know each other. I am looking forward to meeting you and your kids!

Hire a toddler nanny with great references
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."
- Laila
Nanny Silvana
"Silvana was a very nurturing nanny. She had the difficult task of being the first nanny to care for my 6 month old son. She knew what to do and helped my son quickly overcome the separation anxiety. She brought him toys and played the flute for him to introduce him to new things. I am very grateful for the care she provided."

Nanny Brianna
"Bri is amazing with Children. She knows how to handle different personalities, kids will warm up fast. Many memories still stick with my kids with fun adventures, arts and crafts, eating."
