Sittercity helps Ben Lomond families find the best child care providers

I’m a current college student studying public health and have open availability most afternoons and weekends. I’ve been babysitting for several years and have also been a live in camp counselor for children aged 14 and up. I love getting creative with coming up with fun activities and would feel confident to help with tutoring as needed for school aged children. I am also comfortable to help with meal prepping and general cleaning while babysitting. Finally, I am CPR and first aid certified as well.

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 graduated college in 2022 with a BA in Neuroscience focusing on human development and behavior. The last 6-8 years I have provided childcare (0-14 years old) across swim lessons, coaching, tutoring, creating writing classes, and standard babysitting. I am First Aid and CPR certified and also comfortable with multiple pets. Currently, I am studying for the MCAT and looking to baby sit part-time, preferably week-nights. I have my own car and comfortable with meal prep, grocery shopping, laundry, house chores, and extracurricular activities. I enjoy working with many different personalities and familiar with sibling dynamics, as an older sister myself. I also have experience in healthcare attending to patient's physical, social, and emotional needs.

Hi there! My name is Addie, and I’d love to babysit for you! I’m currently a first-year student at UC Santa Cruz majoring in Sociology and Education, and I’m working towards becoming a teacher. I have three years of experience volunteering in elementary school classrooms and have coached youth cheerleading for 1st and 2nd graders. Additionally, I’ve been babysitting for the past year and have attended multiple babysitting classes. I have certifications for CPR and Babysitting 101 from American Red Cross that I can provide copies of. Thank you for your consideration! Let me know if you have any other questions!

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.

Hello, im Melissa, and I have twelve years of experience with taking care of children. I have taken care of children from newborn babies to pre-teen children in many different settings, for example, weddings, overnight care, resort care (vacations) mothers helper, nanny share, transporting children, and after-school activities. I am currently in search of joining a family long-term to help with childcare and daily activities. Please feel free to reach out with more questions about my experience. Thank you!

Hi, My name is Katie, I have experience working with all age groups- infants, toddlers, and preteens. I love what I do! I have been a nanny for about 10 years... Everyday is packed full of fun-making cookies out of clay, playing cars, talking about cartoons, packing picnics for the park, counting, learning colors, learning manners, speech development, sharing, playing with peers, bike rides/wagon rides all around the neighborhood and more. During the years (2017- March 2020), I cared for 3 children - 2 girls and 1 boy. Their ages were 6, 4 and 2. I was with them for a little over 2 years. My hours were from 9am to 3pm in the Summer and 9am to 5pm during the school year. My job duties included entertaining the children with various activities (soccer, arts and crafts, card/board games, baking, ect), drop-offs/pick-ups from school, hosting playdates, helping with homework, as well grocery shopping and keeping the house tidy. I miss the family very much. At the end of 2020, I worked with a temp agency and I was matched with a lovely family with 3 young children. They were 5 months, 4 and 6 years old. We did a lot of fun activities at home due to Covid. We read books, baked cookies, jumped on the trampoline, played games, and sang songs. And I continue to do on-call/temp work for them until I can find something permanent. I would love to meet you and your family to see if I would be a good fit- My availability is 8am to 4pm. I love what I do and hope to hear back from you soon. My rate is $35 per hour. Thank you, Katie

My name is Heron Yosief Haile and I am 25 years old. I was born in Eritrea, East Africa and speak English, Tigrigna, and basic Spanish(still learning and practicing). I grew up in a large family with many siblings and cousins who led by example how to care for your younger siblings and cousins. I love being a sitter because children are funny, insightful, and I always learn from them as they do from me. I have a variety of interests which allows me to easily connect kids and adults about their own interests from animals, arts, books, music, sports, etc. My philosophy for caring for children is giving them agency (depending on age) and allowing them to guide me in what activities we engage in (within parental parameters). I am patient, kind, firm, creative in finding solutions, and lead by example.
