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’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.

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.

Hello there! My name is Mara, I recently moved to Santa Cruz and I’m available as a part time baby sitter! I work full time as a preschool teachers aide and I have experience with kids ages 2 and up. My favorite activities to do with kids are arts and crafts, dress up and reading (my favorite childrens books are Pete the Cat and Fancy Nancy). In my own spare time, I create art, go to the beach and take care of my garden. I don’t drive but I easily can get around town by bus or walking, so as long as you are in Santa Cruz or Capitola location is no big deal. I care a lot about childrens health and safety and I believe its important to keep a close eye on kids I’m looking after. I also believe its important to be a great role model and teach kids kindness, respect and sharing by practicing what I preach. I believe kindness makes the world go round and its very important to treat others the way you want to be treated. One of my strengths is staying calm under pressure or high stress. I believe that an escalated adult can never deescalate an escalated child, so when times are stressful I believe in staying relaxed, keeping a level head, and using creative problem and positive discipline. I am available 6-10:00pm weekdays and all day/evening Saturday and Sunday. I can provide proof of vaccines, a Livescan background check, CPR training and mandated reporter training. To reach me, please text or call me at (510) 918 4365 or email me at mwrightowl@gmail.com. Please let me know if you are interested and I will get back to you asap!!

Holding a degree in Education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience to my work, having supported students through both classroom teaching and private tutoring. I have also worked with children with additional needs, helping them thrive in a supportive and inclusive environment. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing space where children feel confident to explore, learn, and grow. I take great joy in suggesting games and activities that spark creativity and development, ensuring that every child is engaged and stimulated. My focus is always on making the time together productive, fun and enjoyable, while fostering positive relationships with the children and families I work with. Outside of my professional work, I volunteer at an animal shelter, where I help care for and support animals in need. Staying active is also important to me, and I enjoy keeping fit in my spare time.
