A little bit about me
Hi my name is Jessica! I am 23 and am a UCSB graduate in Ecology. My favorite job was in the Chemistry department, where I worked as a coordinator for a outreach program for 5th graders. I love how curious kids are, and how they ask so many questions!
I have been watching my little cousins and family friend’s children my entire life. I would love to be able to teach a child some garden skills and spark their curiosity about the natural world!

A little bit about me
Hello! I am a third year Anthropology/Sociology student at UCSC who looooves caring for children. I have worked as a baby-sitter for a variety of different kids, while also having some professional experience as a camp councilor, lifeguard, and teaching assistant that has taught me so much about child-development and ways to empower and understand kids. I would also just like to note that since I go to UCSC it is pretty easy for me to get regularly COVID tested through the university as well. Overall, I would just like to say I have always found working with children to be incredibly inspiring and rewarding work. I am a passionate, nurturing-loving, dedicated care-taker that is willing to take on and adapt to any challenges kids can bring as well, in fact I always look forward to those challenges because there is always more to learn about children!

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.

A little bit about me
Hello! I am 19 years old and I am currently going to college doing online classes majoring in Psychology. I am interested in babysitting so I can earn some extra money to help pay for college. But my main reason is because I love working with children, I currently work part time at the boys and girls club so I have plenty experience working with kids. I am First Aid/CPR certified with the boys and girls club as well. I have been babysitting/nannying for about 5 years. I help with meal preparation, cleaning, creating activities to do, etc. I have done lots of experience with night shifts and help with putting kids to bed as well 😊

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."
