Find experienced child care providers in Ben Lomond, 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.

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!

My name is Jany. I am 46 years old. I have an 8yo daughter. I am very flexible, organized, patient, hardworking, trustworthy and reliable. I love cooking, sketching, painting, photography, reading, dancing and being around with kids. I was a preschool/elementary teacher for ten years. I became a child care provider simply because I love children and I enjoy being with them. I took care of newborns to 5 year olds in Manhattan/Brooklyn(New York)/NJ, and CA. I’m a widow. I’m the only one watching my daughter so I may have to bring her with me (when she has no classes), only if it is ok with you. Thank you in advance.

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.

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.
