A little bit about me
I am a full time student at Cabrillo College studying English in hopes to one day become an English professor. I love children and being in a role of guardianship. I have babysat ever since I was 12. I nannied for my neighbor and took care of her two young kids for about 3 years. Eventually I moved to a different city but continued babysitting. I love children and helped raise my younger brother who is now 9 years old. Because we are 10 years apart I was old enough to babysit him when he was a baby all the way up to the age he is currently. So I would say I’m experienced in all ages of children. I have also babysat toddlers and babies separately from my brother and am fully equipped for diaper changing bottle feeding and any other needs of a younger child.

I do have school but partly since I do online mostly, so I have lots of free time! I find joy in legos and outside time. I do not have my drivers license quite yet but will be getting it in 6 months. My parents are mostly available to drive me to your house and back, just cant drive the kid. Message me for more details if interested. ☺️

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Jenna. **I currently have a full time nanny position** I am fully vaccinated. I graduated from UCSC in June 2020. I am currently a part-time substitute teacher: I mainly work with elementary school students, and my hours are very flexible! I just finished up teaching summer school for second graders at Green Acres Elementary School. I have three nieces and nephews: Holly, who’s 7, Brynn, who’s 4, and Braxton, who’s also 4! I have been watching them since they were born, and have acted as their nanny more times than I can count. One of my nieces has autism, so I also have experience working with special needs children! I love working with kids: I think it’s one of the most rewarding things a person can do. I’m also willing to do light housework and meal prepping, and have experience doing both. Thank you so much for reading!

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."

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."
