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

Hello I'm Emily! I'm a UCSC student majoring in Psychology hoping to spend my free time with awesome kids. I was a preschool teacher, where I gained most of my skills. I've worked with two different families throughout my time at university. A few things about me are that I am very gentle and nurturing regarding children. I love to play and find new and fun activities to activate those sensory-motor skills.

A little bit about me

My name is Marianne. I’m an RN by training. I started nannying in 2019 and have been doing so ever since. I love children! I have raised a daughter… best decision ever! I started my career in Maternity Nursing because I do enjoy taking care of babies and new families. I ended my career as a cancer treatment RN and decided to go back to my first love… babies and small children. I have multiple years experience is all aspects of baby and young children care. I also have the Maternal Care for the Post Partum period. I’m engaging, love to teach and play. Childhood development education and experience. I would say that beyond my qualifications… is the pure joy I receive and give in taking care of your little ones. I take pride in what I do. While baby is sleeping I’m proactive in keeping common areas clean, wash, fold and put away babies clothes. Keep the nursery organized and stocked as you desire.
Take babies to the park and stroll if you desire. That’s me. Tell me about you and you.
