A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Annah and I am a college graduate looking for a position in surrounding Santa Cruz area. I have a degree in Elementary Education from Purdue University where I taught for the #1 ranked school district in Indiana. I am passionate about science, health and wellness hoping to be able to provide chances for children to explore, grow and learn at home and in nature (parent approved.) Outside of teaching, I also have years of experience taking care of children from 5 months to 10 years of age. I am CPR/ AED certified, First Aid certified, fully vaccinated and the proud owner of a Toyota Prius. I am a great cook and would be happy to help out around the house with anything that needs done. I also have experience in construction and forestry and am certified to use power tools and chain saws.

"Annah was reliable, flexible, creative, and trustworthy with our kids. She handles stressful situations well and appropriately. She ensured our children were safe and happy. She also helped us a great deal with our dogs when we needed to go out of town. We even tried to get her to move with us when we moved across the country. Would hire her again in a second! She will make a great addition to your family!"

"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."

A little bit about me
I started my childcare career as a teaching assistant for an infant classroom at a professional daycare. I then furthered my education and obtained my CDA (Child Development Associate) credential through Teachstone. This allowed me to work as a lead teacher in the classroom. After 3.5 in a professional daycare setting I then moved to Santa Cruz and became a private nanny (share) for two amazing families.
I find myself having the most fun creatively expressing myself through 2D arts, and full body movement. I prioritize connecting with nature, exploring music, and deepening my childlike wonder through philosophy.

A little bit about me
Hello,
I'm a recent college graduate who is planning on attending Columbia University for my masters in School Psychology in the fall. I have over five years of experience working with children both as a nanny and running summer camps. I like to spend time outside, read, and do crafts.
I believe in working to make children feel safe while also ensuring they have fun and try new things. As a nanny I'm committed to creating a space for children to learn new skills and have engaging experiences. I have experience working with a large range of ages but am most versed in children aged 3-10.

(Condensed version due to 1000 word limit)…
Hello, I’m Vanessa! Proud Mom of two! My daughter, 13 yrs. and my son, 12. Both attend Mission Hill Middle school. A few months ago, the rent went up and we were forced to move back to San Jose. I continue to commute my children to and from San Jose to Santa Cruz everyday for school and because I am unemployed at the moment and gas prices are ridiculous, I spend my time in the area while waiting for my kids to finish school so that I am not having to make multiple trips back and forth. My availability is 9am-2pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and 9am-12pm / 12:30pm on Wednesdays. It’s been so difficult to find a position that works around my Children’s school schedule. I am a genuine, honest, loyal, loving and kind person and as I am all of these things to my own children, I would not be any less to yours! I do appreciate your time and consideration and hope to speak with you soon.
Kind Regards,
Vanessa (Ness) Carson

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."
