A little bit about me
Hi, I am Ally, and I am a student at UCSC and I am looking to help out families in the Santa Cruz area with childcare! I have many years of experience with kids not only as a babysitter, but also as a dental assistant, summer education teacher, and in a development psychology lab as a research interviewer. My mom is a preschool teacher and I have spent much time helping her in her classroom, as well as helping raise my two younger siblings. I am very comfortable with kids of all ages, and I love being outdoors and doing arts and crafts!

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Rafaella! I just graduated from UCSC with a degree in Ecology and Evolution and a minor in dance!
I am offering child care and household services. I have the most experience with children ages 6-11 but love working with kids of all ages. I can cook, clean, run errands (have a drivers license but no car), and am happy to work with pets
I have worked as a resident summer camp counselor for children ages 4-17 for the past 3 summers after being a counselor in training and camper myself for many years. Additionally, when I was in high school I worked as a gymnastics coach for children and volunteered as an after school tutor for elementary kids and helped out at the local children's museum. This has all taught me a lot about caring for kids and has helped me work on time management, conflict resolution, adaptability, patience, and creativity.

A little bit about me
Hi! I've lived in Santa Cruz for 4 years and I work remotely for a logistics company (even before the pandemic). My schedule is pretty flexible and because of that and the nature of my fairly quiet job, I seek out other work and activities that are more interactive and social — like childcare! I would ideally like to work with a family who has occasional needs — nights, early mornings, random weekends, etc. I am very reliable, but not reliant on childcare income, and am best suited as a fill-in when extra help is needed.
Personal interests include traveling, backpacking, gardening, reading, art and cooking.
While I have not been a nanny formally in several years, I did it consistently throughout high school and into college (school drop offs, pick ups, after school care, overnights, etc.) and still feel very comfortable with kids — most of my friends now have them!

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

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."
