Find experienced babysitters in Felton, CA

Hi! My names Josey and I’m a local here in Santa Cruz. I am attending courses at Cabrillo and have received degrees in Early childhood Education, Health Sciences, and Liberal Arts & Sciences with an emphasis in Interdisciplinary Studies, all with honors. I have also been awarded my anti bias certification and my certification for working with diverse families. Currently, I am working on receiving my teaching certification. I did volunteer work with Cowells junior guards as a captain. The captains help the instructors with the junior guards (ages 5-12). Before I was able to work with the children I was certified in CPR and AED. My first job was as a lifeguard at Simpkins Family Swim Center for 2 years. I was certified in lifeguard training, first aid, CPR and AED. I taught swim lessons, all ages but mostly ages 2-8. Toddlers are so much fun! I also did childcare and little guards. Little guards and swim lessons were really fun because I got to know the children. By the end of the sessions, we would be laughing and playing around together. I worked with Head Start as a part time teachers assistant. Prior to being part time, I was working on call. I have had the opportunity to work with children from 6 months - 6 years with Head Start. After leaving Head Start, I worked at Coastal Community Preschool in the toddler classroom. I sometimes return to the school as a sub. I've worked as a nanny and babysitter off and on throughout my life. When I am with the children, they receive my undivided attention. When there is down time, I am more than happy to take care of household chores. I am comfortable working with all ages. This past year I have had the joy of increasing my infant care experience. I was recently re-certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. I have completed my Title 22 requirements for working with children. I completed a background check with Head Start, Cabrillo, and Coastal Communities but it does not show on SitterCity. Please ask to see my credentials! I am happy to provide you with any documentation that you would like. I look forwards to meeting you and your children.

Hi, my name is Erica Tutton. I have just graduated from San Jose State University with a degree in Psychology. This past year I worked at the Boys and Girls Club working their after school and summer program. I have experience teaching curriculum such as education, sports, technology, and art. I have also worked as a behavioral therapist for children with autism, and have been a babysitter throughout college. Currently open to nannying and babysitting

I have been a private career nanny for multiple families (for ages 7 months and up) for over 14 years now, as well as a daycare teacher assistant and an Au Pair. I connect very well with children; I enjoy working with the magical little beings because I’m inspired by their contagiously high-spirits and spontaneous creativity! I offer children an abundance of presence and play. I encourage nature-based exploration, creativity cultivation, and problem-solving. I draw inspiration from elements of alternative education philosophies, but I’m mostly interested in letting the child lead while I provide the appropriate boundaries and guidance. Each child is so unique, and my goal is to facilitate their unfolding. I would be a good fit for your family if you are looking for a responsible nanny with a good heart, an authentic appreciation for kids, and someone who will provide a positive contribution to their development.

Hi my name is Sami Smelser and I just graduated from UCSC with a marine biology. I play and help coach my club soccer team and love to be active but also just relax if needed. I have a very flexible schedule and my mornings and days are almost all free. I love kids, animals, plants and also will do house work if needed and have a great enjoyment for cooking. I am very responsible and have a first aid certificate and I am CPR certified along with my driver license. Along with other babysitting jobs, I have worked at a summer camp for multiple summers so I am good with multiple kids and love to entertain or just relax with them. If you have any questions feel free to reach out!

Hey there! I'm Destiny, a 3rd-year college student at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I'm on the lookout for part-time babysitting gigs. I've got experience working with kids ranging from 5 months old to 12 years old, and I've been babysitting for 5 years, including my neighbors' children and I am a volunteer at Siena House where I have helped care for toddlers and infants. I also have experience tutoring and providing daily exercise to my neighbors who were homeschooled. I have a car, so I can easily get to your place or take the kids out for fun activities. I'm responsible, reliable, and love engaging with kids while ensuring their safety. I have also provided childcare for faculty and students at UCSC. Can't wait to bring my experience to your family!

Fun and active individual that grew up here in Santa Cruz. I have multiple years of children experience from teaching swim lessons, lifeguarding, nannying and EMT experience. I just graduated from nursing school and looking for nanny/babysitting/dog watching to help fill the gap while I wait to take my boards in January.

I have worked with children since I was about 10 years old. I helped my mom run her day care that had ages 3-15. I also worked at a gym childcare for 3 years with ages 0-10. At the gym we would just play with the kids, draw with them, and get them snacks. I am CPR certified, and I also taught swim lessons for about a year. I love working with kids, and I can’t wait to meet your family!

Hi, I’m Melanie! I’m a responsible, patient, and caring babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I’ve had experience supporting kids of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged children, and I always work to create a safe, positive, and fun environment. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, preparing simple meals, or keeping a consistent routine, I’m someone families can count on.

Hi my name is Jelena I’m an 18 year old preparing to begin esthetics school this spring, excited to step into a field that combines creativity, confidence building, and care. Before pursuing esthetics, I worked at an after school program called Coral through Catholic Charities, where I supported kindergarteners as well as fourth and fifth graders. Helping with homework, activities, and daily routines gave me the chance to positively influence their growth and understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and compassion. My passion for working with kids began in high school, when I volunteered at ICBAB with my close friends. There, I helped children participate in activities that taught them more about their faith and culture, further strengthening my love for mentorship and community. Growing up with a mother who is a teacher, I’ve always been inspired to make a meaningful impact on young lives. As I enter esthetics, I hope to bring that same empathy and encouragement to everyone I work with.
