Find experienced nannies in Capitola, 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 Erica Tutton. I have just graduated from San Jose State University with a degree in Psychology. This past year I 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 throughout college. Currently open to nannying and babysitting

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’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.

Hello my name is Sonia Gudino. I am 22 years old and I am a energetic, fun and responsible baby sitter. I have experience baby sitting infants 5 months old - pre teens 11 year olds. I absolutely love spending time with kids and finding different ways to be creative!

With over 12 years of experience as a dedicated teacher, I have had the privilege of working with children across the UK and UAE, teaching ages 3 to 11. 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. My experience, enthusiasm, and commitment to providing a positive and caring environment make me dedicated to providing the best care or educational support for every child.

My name is Aramara, and I have a deep passion for babysitting. Currently, I'm pursuing my dream of becoming a pediatric nurse. Before transferring to nursing school, I studied elementary and childhood development for a few semesters, which has given me a solid foundation in understanding and nurturing young minds. I love being a sitter because it allows me to create a safe, fun, and educational environment for children. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a child grow and learn under your care. My nurturing and organic energy helps me connect with kids on a personal level, making them feel comfortable and happy. I have extensive experience babysitting my 3-year-old sister, whom I've cared for since she was just 2 months old. This hands-on experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a loving atmosphere. Additionally, my studies in childhood development and nursing have equipped me with essential skills and training to provide excellent care. Thank you for considering me as your sitter. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family's needs and contribute to your child's growth and happiness!
