Find experienced child care providers 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 Danielle Fobar and I am currently a sophomore at the University of Utah studying health society and policy. I am 19 years old and have lived in Utah for about a year and a half now. Before Utah, I lived in San Jose, California my whole life. I love children and have been babysitting and nannying since I was 14, but have not had the time since I've been to Utah. I finally have a schedule that allows me to and I am so excited! I've watched children who were a variety of ages ranging from eight weeks to thirteen years old and consider myself very responsible ever since high school. I was able to hold a job throughout high school, while babysitting on the weekends and nannying in the summer, and keep my grades while also being responsible for my horse who I adopted when I was 13. I love helping kids learn and want them to have fun, but will make sure that any responsibilities they may have come first. While I like to make sure I keep things fun while I am watching your kids, safety is something that is very important to me. I am CPR certified and consider myself pretty vigilant, so I will do everything in my power to make sure your kids are safe and happy while in my care.

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 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!

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.
