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.

I’m a registered nurse going back to school full time to receive my BSN. I have completed my maternity and pediatric rotations. I have worked at an elementary school for three years. I also completed my community health practicum at an elementary school, shadowing a school nurse. I have my Neonatal Resuscitation Program Certificate, ACLS and BLS. I have always had a passion working with kids and would love to specialize in maternity caring for mothers and newborns or in pediatrics. I also speak and read in Spanish.

I’d love to take a moment to introduce myself and see if I might be a good fit for your family. I’m an outgoing, caring, creative, and organized mother of two grown children. Being actively involved in their lives has been one of my greatest joys, and I take pride in having been a positive role model for them. With over 20 years of experience in administration, business ownership, classroom volunteering, summer camp organization, and nannying, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility, adaptability, and a genuine passion for supporting families and children’s growth. I am also CPR certified. When caring for children, I love to encourage outdoor play, reading, creative projects, and engaging, age-appropriate learning experiences. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping and meal preparation to help keep your household running smoothly. I would be delighted to connect with you and explore how I can support your family’s needs.

Hi my name is Sami Smelser and I just graduated from UCSC with a marine biology. I play and help coach my club soccer team and love to be active but also just relax if needed. I have a very flexible schedule and my mornings and days are almost all free. I love kids, animals, plants and also will do house work if needed and have a great enjoyment for cooking. I am very responsible and have a first aid certificate and I am CPR certified along with my driver license. Along with other babysitting jobs, I have worked at a summer camp for multiple summers so I am good with multiple kids and love to entertain or just relax with them. If you have any questions feel free to reach out!

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 live in the Almaden area and have been babysitting for over five years, caring for kids between the ages of 3 and 13. I’ve always loved working with children and enjoy creating a fun, positive, and safe environment where they can feel happy and supported. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve been a licensed driver for four years. I’m reliable, responsible, and always happy to help with school pick-ups, errands, or extra curricular activities.

I have taken cooking classes for 3 years at Sur La Table, and I do my best to make every day enjoyable and easy for both kids and parents.
