Find experienced nannies in Santa Cruz, 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.

Hi! My name is Kate. I am 20 years old and moved up to Santa Cruz for school in 2021. I have had a great quantity and quality of babysitting over the years. I have worked with dozens of families, whether it was an occasional date night or a weekly routine schedule where I would help the parents out with school pick-ups, dinner prep, sports practices, etc. Some things about me: I am from Santa Barbara, I love to surf, I am very creative and artistic, I love live music, and to spend time with friends and family. I have two little brothers, so I am already fit for any challenge!

Hi there! I’ve been a nanny for about 3 years now, and throughout my time I have worked with children aged 1-15. I absolutely love children, as I love learning from them and teaching them new things in return. I speak fluent Spanish and English and I would love to incorporate that into my child care if you’d like me to! I’m currently a college student, and I am nannying for a lovely family with 3 children. I have some extra time on my hands on the weekends and some weekdays and I would love to help out new families and broaden my experience! I love all animals and I am fully vaccinated.
