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 😊

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!
