Nina F., Babysitter in Scotts Valley, CA 95066 with 5 years of paid experience

***I am only available for occasional babysitting after 5pm on weekdays and some weekends. Thank you for understanding!*** I am an administrative professional who became a nanny during the pandemic. While I am no longer nannying full time, I am hoping to babysit occasionally for a few families long-term on evenings and weekends. I have experience with kids of all ages and absolutely love pets! I am fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID and am willing to mask, etc. I grew up doing theatre and love to entertain little ones with singing, dancing, reading aloud, etc! I had many different nannies growing up and know how important they are to a child's life. My friends would describe me as very reliable, conscientious, and caring. References happily provided upon request. I look forward to hearing from you! ------------------------------------------------------------ “Nina is incredibly patient, loving and helpful with our 6 month old son. She has always been very adaptable to our developing parenting styles (first time parents over here!) and she’s been very helpful in providing recommendations or additional context based on her previous nanny experiences. She is an excellent communicator and she regularly goes above and beyond to make our son as comfortable as possible and celebrate his baby milestones. She engages with our son through many activities including singing, reading, playing, going outside, tummy time and snuggles at nap time. I wish we could continue our time with Nina, but we are moving out of the state. If you are looking for a dependable and caring nanny, Nina will be a great fit for your family!” -Katie, February-June 2021

Loved working with Natalia! She watched both of our girls and they had a blast. I got photos throughout the evening and they were in pajamas and fed by the time we were back! Would definitely recommend Natalia to any family

I have been on Sittercity for many years now, but most recently re-opened my account.

Morgan watched my 10 year old son Preston and they did great. She was also nice enough to change my laundry proactively. She’s definitely very experienced and I hope to have her watch my kids on a more regular basis.

We have been beyond blessed having Erica take care of our 19-month-old son for the last 6 weeks. She reads him book after book, she plays with blocks and cars and chases him around until they are both cracking up laughing. She handles his lunch, bath time, and nap time every day (and he is not an easy one to nap for most people). What I was really amazed with was her level of engagement with him. My husband and I work from home and we could hear her talking to him and laughing with him all day. He asks for her and talks about her constantly when she's not here and we were heartbroken when our local daycare had a spot open up for him. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their child.

Athena C., Babysitter in Scotts Valley, CA 95066 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello everyone (: Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me. My name is Athena, and I am a bay area native with about 6 years of experience in childcare. I've had the pleasure of caring for children as young as 3 months old all the way up to pre-teens! I think my combination of experience and childhood development courses make it easier for me to develop a good relationship with different age groups as well as care for multiple children at a time. During my time working with kids my role within the home has definitely been flexible for the needs of the family, and I like to consider myself fairly easy going and loving. Luckily, I have had pretty good experiences with past families and even still babysit for some on occasion. My experience ranges from setting sleep schedules and starting solids to homework help and supervising play dates. I am also an animal lover, so pets do not scare me away. Please reach out if you have any questions and have a nice day.

Athena took care of our daughter from 6mo until just after her 2nd birthday, and we are deeply impressed with (and appreciative of) the level of care and professionalism she brought to the job. She provides a calm, warm presence that our daughter immediately took to. Athena is communicative, resourceful, and always thinking of new ways to entertain a baby/toddler, which is no easy task. She always ran new ideas by us, and she was happy to take our girl out of the house on little adventures whenever possible. She also showed immense flexibility as she stuck to our ever-changing schedule perfectly, which we very much appreciated as anxious first-time parents! She does everything with a smile on her face. We truly never had to worry when Athena was with our baby, and she is still our first call when we have any babysitting needs. She cares deeply about her charges and develops such sweet relationships with them. Her thoughtful, gentle, kind personality is just the biggest bonus. TL;DR: we love her, 10/10 would recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Annalise - she is an awesome sitter and I feel lucky to have found her. She's kind, patient, responsible, and my son absolutely loves her. She's super interactive and engaging with kids. Professionally, she's been extremely communicative and flexible as I've ironed out my schedule and need for childcare. She really is a gem and any family would be lucky to have her as their sitter.

Geri was a pleasure to have as a part-time babysitter for our 11-month-old. She is knowledgeable and confident with infants, and she struck up a great rapport with our daughter. I'd recommend her without hesitation.

Andrea M., Babysitter in Scotts Valley, CA 95066 with 10 years of paid experience

Whether we're playing games, singing and dancing, spending time outside, reading books, or being creative, I enjoy keeping kids engaged and active in ways that are both fun and age-appropriate. My goal is to provide a safe, caring, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and parents can feel confident knowing their children are in good hands. I currently work for a local school district where my primary focus is supporting neurodivergent learners. In addition, I have many years of experience working with typically developing children of all ages. My experience has taught me a lot about adaptability, flexibility, and meeting each child where they are. I take pride in helping all children feel cared for and supported. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have a college degree including coursework in Early Child Development & Special Education. I'm also a proud mom of three daughters so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your kids.

Andrea took care of my little one starting when she was 3 months old when I had to return to work. Andrea provided my child with a safe, fun and stimulating environment. It meant so much to me to be able to return to work without having to worry if my little one was in the right hands. Without the enviroment Andrea provided, I do not believe my child would have developed into the sweet, artistic and intelligent 4 year old she is today. We were very fortunate to have Andrea and wouldn't trust anyone else with our child's care.
