Hi, my name is Erica Tutton. I’m a graduate from San Jose State University with a degree in Psychology. I’ve worked at the Boys and Girls Club working their after school and summer program. I have experience teaching curriculum such as education, sports, technology, and art. I have also worked as a behavioral therapist for children with autism, and have been a babysitter/ nanny throughout college. I’ve worked with ages 1-18 through babysitting as well as my professional career. Currently have a full time job as a case manager so only have weekend availability. I’d still love to work with kids and help out families when I can!

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! I am a third-year psychology student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, with a strong background in child development and behavior. I’ve worked with children in various settings, including serving as an aide in a Spanish immersion preschool, as well as in my current role as a Behavioral Technician, where I support students from preschool through high school with both academic and emotional needs. I am CPR certified and hold a certification as a California Food Handler. I’m also bilingual in Spanish and English, with experience in meal preparation, routine management, homework assistance, and creating a calm, supportive environment for kids of all ages. I am patient and reliable, and I truly enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality. I am currently available for part-time, evening, and weekend babysitting. I would be happy to provide references or discuss further to see if I am a good fit for your family.

Hello! My name is Bella :) I am a career nanny with over 8 years of professional experience, as well as an A.S. degree in Early Childhood Education from Cabrillo College. I have extensive experience with children aged newborn to 10 years old. I have experience with nannying for twins, different aged siblings, and nanny share groups. I am certified in Pediatric and Adult First Aid and CPR, and have current fingerprinting and background checks. I am currently looking for my next nanny position to start in July of 2026, as my current nanny children will be moving on to group childcare.

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.

Hii i’m Azarya i’m 19 years old and i’m a certified nursing assistant and also have done babysitting since i have 16 from ages 2-14. I truly have a passion for providing care and love to build bonds with children!!

I have taken early childhood education classes and have experience working in childcare. I worked at two private daycare centers and also as a teacher at a preschool. Through these experiences, I developed strong skills in nurturing and caring for children while creating a safe and supportive environment. I am very patient, attentive, and always prioritize the safety and well-being of the children in my care.

I truly love caring for kids, it comes naturally to me. I enjoy building relationships with children and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. Watching kids learn, play, and grow brings me a lot of joy, and I love being someone they can count on. I’m a single mom of three amazing kids (including twins!), and I’ve been caring for children for over a decade. I have experience with all ages, from infants to preteens, and I’m especially comfortable with neurodivergent children and kids with big feelings or unique needs. Alongside raising my own, I’ve cared for other families’ children as well, including other sets of twins. I have hands-on experience with infants, including babywearing, cloth diapering, and baby-led weaning. I’m familiar with the needs of autistic and ADHD children, and I use a gentle, trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming approach. While I’m not currently CPR certified, I do know CPR and am happy to get certified if needed. Feel free to ask for my driving record or a background check. I’m calm under pressure, attentive, and I know how to meet kids where they’re at.

I love to work with children and families providing a safe, fun environment and help lighten the daily load of working families. I have a masters degree in family therapy and am a licensed marriage and family therapist and art therapist in California formally working in private practice and also for the county and school systems in Santa Clara County. I have over 15 experience as a nanny. I have a reliable car, and am an organized, creative, easy going nature while also providing structure. I am passionate about children, animals, art, and yoga.
