A little bit about me

I’m a incoming freshman at UCSC (studying Psychology and Community Studies) and I love kids! I have always enjoyed working as a nanny or babysitter, and so I would love to continue during college. I have experience working as a lifeguard, so I am certified in First Aid, CPR, etc. I’m looking to develop long term relationships with families with regular work. I hope to have the opportunity to help you out with your little ones!

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!
