A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Lorianna, 26 years old, originally born in Kenya. Since then I have lived in Kenya, England, Australia and Bali and moved to Santa Cruz almost 3 years ago now!
I have over 6 years experience nannying kids (9 months - 13 years old) as well as experience teaching online english to children around the world. I have two younger brothers who I cared for alot as I grew up so I am very familiar with childcare.
I love coming up with fun, exciting and creative ideas for the kids and I to do together, such as art projects, making clay sculptures, outdoor walks, collecting shells, playing in the ocean and going to the park! I am passionate about childcare and understand the importance of safety first as well as creating a warm and loving environment where they feel heard and comfortable always.
I would love to be able to help you take care for your children! I am searching for part-time work and I am able to be flexible with scheduling. References available.

A little bit about me
Hi, I am a organized, detail oriented, self-motivated child care provider. I have spent the last 10 years providing care to children and elderly.
I love children and they seem to love me, as well.
In my last job I cared for 4 children ages 7 months, 3, 8 and 10 years. I was responsible for providing before and after school care, also full daycare for infant and toddler and older children on school holidays. I made snacks and meals, transported children to school, sports, appointments, helped with homework, light housekeeping, ran errands and anything else the family needed.
If you need help with your children, I would love to work with your family.

"I met Gail about 7 years ago when I hired her for the charge of caring for my four children: two girls and two boys ages 7 months, 3, 8 and 10 years. Gail met the challenge head-on, with unflinching skill and steadfast ability.
Gail was the perfect choice to care for my children. She is extremely responsible, fun-loving and the kids adored her! She attended to the baby and toddler during the day. Around 2 pm, she began picking up the older kids and drove them to various activities, or home. She prepared snacks, supervised homework, and would prepare dinner. Gail always kept things clean, and organized, the pets fed/watered. I never worried when the kids were with her. She managed several crises calmly and effectively. I cannot recommend Gail highly enough for any childcare, babysitting or nanny position with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children.
Please, do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Ann Sisk

"Brianna watched our almost 1.5 yo son for 2 - 3 days a week until he was ready to go into daycare/preschool. She is a joy to have. Not only does she listen and mirror your preferred parenting style, she’s warm and kids love her. She would take our son on fun and educational trips (ex. The park & library). She really wants to connect with whomever she’s taking care of and it shows. Our son really benefited from Brianna’s care and attention. We have kept in touch and I know she’s gone on in her career and taken additional early childhood education courses which proves she dedicated to her job and kids"

I am a retired massage therapist who found her passion working with infants and toddlers. I focus on creating a nurturing relationship centered around play, nature, and art. I have been nannying for the past 4 years on the Westside, alongside working at a daycare. I go to Cabrillo full-time for my ECE degree, and currently have 13 ECE units. I also have been learning ASL for the past couple of years, in hopes to one day work with Deaf children. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my partner and cats, going to the beach, antiquing, and creating collage art :)

A little bit about me
As an experienced nanny and parent, I believe I have a unique perspective on the importance a great caregiver can bring to a busy family. While respecting boundaries and the emotional atmosphere of the home, I like to feel that I am an honorary member of your family. I am willing to pitch in with errands, homework, meal prep or whatever is needed - and I am aware that may change daily! Also willing to travel with your family and I have extensive travel experience.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Santa Cruz, CA
Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.
Santa Cruz Nanny Interviews
Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:
- Do you have experience being a nanny?
- How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
- What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
- Are you open to a live in arrangement in Santa Cruz? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
- Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
- Do you have any references?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Santa Cruz?
- Do you have a driver’s license in CA? Do you own a car?
- What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
- What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?
During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny
Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
