I’m a proud mom of two amazing adult daughters and a stepmom to an energetic twelve -year-old son. With more free time now that my girls are grown (and as I not so patiently wait for grandkids, lol), I’m excited to spend more time doing something I’ve always loved: caring for children. While I’m not a career nanny, I’ve been caring for kids since my teenage years and have a lifelong passion for working with them. I have experience with multiples from my time working in a group home for children, where I cared for six children aged 1 to 5. I'm especially confident with infants and toddlers Over the years, I’ve helped raise nieces, nephews, and the children of friends, and I currently care for several toddlers and twin infants on a regular basis. I’m dependable, punctual, and great at managing a busy household. I connect well with kids of all ages, and I pride myself on being fully present. And if you have pets, I’m an animal lover too!

Growing up in a big family I was always around children! In addition to having a lot of younger cousins my parents had decided to have my two younger sisters. There is a 15 and 17 year age gap between me and them. As an older sister I was always willing to watch my siblings when my parents could not. When I first started babysitting I had the pleasure of nannying a family that had 5 children, the oldest being 13 and the youngest being 2 years old. Throughout my time as a nanny/babysitter I have cared for children ranging from 6 months to 13 years old. I do really enjoy taking care of these kids! Everyday is different and it is so amazing to see the world through their eyes.

Hi my name is Heather. I am a stay at home mom of four kids, a wife of 26 years, and a dog mom to a labradoodle named Tinkerbell. My kids are 19, 17, 14 and 11. Prior to being a mom I loved working at a Child Care center called Sunshine for 6 years and then I worked at a local private school called Legacy Private Academy as a 2nd and 4th grade Assistant Teacher. At both Legacy and Sunshine I learned to get down on a child’s level, using positive reinforcement to mold and shape kids with love and positivity. I am careful to give clear expectations and to anticipate potential behavioral issues and catch them before they start. (An example of this would be giving a five minute warning if our play is coming to an end, to avoid a transition meltdown, when playing playdoh setting expectations before playing as far and how to use the playdoh appropriately etc. I love kids and enjoy playing with them and learning together. I l appreciate going to the park and helping children with their homework, and reading books or playing games. My kids are getting older and I now have time to work again. You name it I have done it all from rocking colicky babies, potty training , to teaching four kids their alphabet, sight words and how to read. I have focused on character development with my kids molding them with self control, honesty, patience, kindness etc. I also model that same character, being someone who shows patience, compassion and being reliable in my life. I’m looking forward to soaking in some sweet kids from newborn and up. Please let me know your routine and guidelines, I will be happy to honor your wishes and follow them. I am mature and dependable, I will be careful to not be distracted by my phone as my attention will be on your little one. I am very safety conscious. I am CPR certified and live scanned happy to do a background check and references available. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there! My name is Megan and I've been in the care business for over ten years. I am working on my MA in education counseling at SDSU, former UCSC slug who studied Literature and education. I have also studied child development in college (specialized in a course involving infant/toddler care and development), worked as an assistant teacher in kindergarten classes, volunteered in preschool classes and after school camps (K-5), and have been a babysitter for as long as I can remember. I worked in Santa Cruz for a non-profit on writing projects in the k-12 public schools. I am also happy to help with homework or work specifically as a tutor by the hour. Minor house care (like cooking, cleaning up after self/kids) is included. Extra house work may be completed upon request and agreement (laundry, deep cleaning kitchen or house). Tutoring and house cleaning services tend to have different service rates. Open to pet care, please inquire if interested. Thank you. I've worked with children of all ages, whilst having a focus on infant care. Intuitively and patiently, I connect with the lil ones. My personal experience has only been expanded in giving birth to my own child in Aug 2021. I am preferably looking for a position that is comfortable with her coming along. If you have any further questions feel free to contact me and thanks again for checking me out.
