Hi! My name is Rachel and it would be a joy to work with your family 1-3 days a week. I am a mom to an adorable 18 month old toddler, and looking for work in the mornings between 10 am - 2 pm or evenings from 6:30 pm onward. For the morning time I can do up to 3 hour shifts due to childcare and am much more flexible in the evenings. Currently I have open availability on Mondays. I have 4 years combined experience as a nanny and preschool teacher. Some things you may find helpful are that I can do homework help, exam studying, drop off/pick up, cooking, house tidying, proofreading, laundry and house organization. My specialties are helping children be engaged, feel safe and entertained. I would love to fill you in on the rest. I can’t wait to chat more with you. Thank you!

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.

***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

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, my name is Liz and I am excited to work with families looking for a part-time and/or occasional babysitter. I’m a kind, caring, fun, energetic, patient, and responsible caregiver with a variety of experience. I have experience babysitting infants, toddlers, preschool, and elementary aged children as well as experience with multiples. In addition to traditional babysitting, I volunteered as a cuddler in the NICU at Good Samaritan Hospital and with foster youth as a CASA. I also have over 10 years experience working with children on the autism spectrum as an in-home ABA therapist and as a behavior interventionist for multiple school districts, working mainly with preschool and elementary students. I am very active and engaging and would love to create special memories with your child(ren). As a mother of three, I understand how precious your children are to you. Entrusting their care to a stranger can be quite difficult and stressful. In order to put your mind at ease, I would be more than happy to provide references and/or meet with your family to get to know each other and to make sure I would be a good fit for your family.

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.
