A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Adi, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic person who loves working with kids. I recently graduated from high school and am taking a gap year to gain real-world experience while doing something meaningful. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with children—whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or just being a positive role model.
I have experience caring for kids of various ages through babysitting, summer camps, and helping out with younger siblings and family friends. I’m comfortable handling routines like meals, naps, playtime, and school pick-ups, and I always try to create a safe, fun, and respectful environment.
I’m very flexible, open to a live-in position, and happy to help out with light housework or pet care if needed. I’d love the chance to get to know your family and support your children as they grow!

Hi, I am currently a preschool teacher in Santa Cruz! I go to school at Cabrillo working towards my ECE degree. I have 18 ECE credits and 8 years experience in child care. On my free time I like spending time with friends outdoors at the beach or by a river. I am also very into arts and crafts! I love working with children from all ages.

My name is Francesca, but most people call me Frankie. I am a UC Santa Cruz majoring in Cognitive Science with a minor in Legal Studied. I love to do sports and played basketball throughout my entire middle school and high school careers, but I also enjoy spending time indoors. My interests include listening to all kinds of music, watching movies, trying new foods, thrifting, and traveling. I have no paid experience in child care, but I have two younger sisters and many younger cousins that I love to spend time with and have taken care of. I also have volunteering experience working with children from 1st to 8th grade, including children with spectrum disorders. I’m extremely enthusiastic about working with kids and will do whatever it takes to insure the health and safety of your child!

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."
