A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Annah and I am a college graduate looking for a position in surrounding Santa Cruz area. I have a degree in Elementary Education from Purdue University where I taught for the #1 ranked school district in Indiana. I am passionate about science, health and wellness hoping to be able to provide chances for children to explore, grow and learn at home and in nature (parent approved.) Outside of teaching, I also have years of experience taking care of children from 5 months to 10 years of age. I am CPR/ AED certified, First Aid certified, fully vaccinated and the proud owner of a Toyota Prius. I am a great cook and would be happy to help out around the house with anything that needs done. I also have experience in construction and forestry and am certified to use power tools and chain saws.

"Annah was reliable, flexible, creative, and trustworthy with our kids. She handles stressful situations well and appropriately. She ensured our children were safe and happy. She also helped us a great deal with our dogs when we needed to go out of town. We even tried to get her to move with us when we moved across the country. Would hire her again in a second! She will make a great addition to your family!"

More About Me

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

-6 months full time nanny (2 yr old, 4 yr old)
- 4 years of in-classroom teaching (K-5 all grades)
- 3 months educator at Indianapolis Zoo where I interacted with over 300 individuals each day.
- 1 year YMCA after-school daycare
- 6 years infant-toddler nursery volunteering
- 1 month teaching English in Colombia

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy encouraging children to use their imagination with their environments , being active, reading together, arts and crafts projects, exploring outside, playing dress-up, and watching science YouTube videos.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Children need to know that they are valued and cared for and loved. Parents are their best source of this, but it’s nice to have someone extra come in to take care of their needs, and share the love of the family when parents have other obligations. It takes a village to raise a well rounded individual and I want to play a role in the growth of your wonderful child

My experience with special needs children...

In my teaching experiences, I have worked one-on-one with students with special needs and abilities including ADHD, PTSD, and Autism. I also babysat a wonderful little girl with Spina Bífida.

The most important part about being a nanny...

In summer, I would take the children I nannied out on nature walks around nearby designated areas. One special day, we spend hours at the park talking about the plants and animals we saw, picking up trash, making magic wands, and stomping in the creek. It was a great day for identification and conversations about the way everything works together in the natural world.

Grace H. - Seeking Work in Santa Cruz

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Santa Cruz, CA: Grace H.

I started my childcare career as a teaching assistant for an infant classroom at a professional daycare. I then furthered my education and obtained my CDA (Child Development Associate) credential through Teachstone. This allowed me to work as a lead teacher in the classroom. After 3.5 in a professional daycare setting I then moved to Santa Cruz and became a private nanny (share) for two amazing families.

I find myself having the most fun creatively expressing myself through 2D arts, and full body movement. I prioritize connecting with nature, exploring music, and deepening my childlike wonder through philosophy.
