A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Zoe and I am looking for a family to help out part-time starting August 2021! I am a second-year at UCSC studying Legal Studies and French.
I am looking to help out once or twice a week, preferably for 'date nights,' or for occasional tutoring, as I will be continuing my work with another family twice a week.
I am available usually Mon/Wed/Fri, but only until classes start on Sep. 23, but can still do date nights.
My experience has been with infants (7 mo-1 y/o) as well as older kids (6 y/o - 12 y/o). I am happy to tutor your kids, play with your kids, run errands, perform household duties, and prepare food. I live in the Seabright neighborhood, provide my own transportation, and have a fairly flexible schedule until classes start in September. I am punctual, enthusiastic, and vaccinated.
I will be ready to start whenever and I am happy to meet socially distanced or on zoom beforehand to get to know each other. I am looking forward to meeting you and your kids!

A little bit about me
Hey neighbors, I'm Michelle Davies, a recent UC Berkeley grad with a degree in English and education. I work as a teacher-in-training at an elementary school, but I have Mondays off and I'm itching to get back into nannying. I miss the personal connections and small group interactions. When I work with kids, I prioritize child-led activities to foster independence and self-confidence and also prioritize spending time outdoors. If you are looking for full-time care , my availability will open up completely once the students start summer break, which is the second week of June. If anyone needs a reliable and experienced nanny of 5+ years, please comment or message me. I have my resume and references ready to go!

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."

How to Hire a Summer Nanny in Santa Cruz, CA
Nanny Lane helps you find a summer nanny in Santa Cruz, CA to take care of your children while school is out.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Santa Cruz, CA
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
