Find local nannies in Soquel, CA

My name is Heron Yosief Haile and I am 25 years old. I was born in Eritrea, East Africa and speak English, Tigrigna, and basic Spanish(still learning and practicing). I grew up in a large family with many siblings and cousins who led by example how to care for your younger siblings and cousins. I love being a sitter because children are funny, insightful, and I always learn from them as they do from me. I have a variety of interests which allows me to easily connect kids and adults about their own interests from animals, arts, books, music, sports, etc. My philosophy for caring for children is giving them agency (depending on age) and allowing them to guide me in what activities we engage in (within parental parameters). I am patient, kind, firm, creative in finding solutions, and lead by example.

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.

Hiii everyone! My name is Danielle Davies and I'm 27 years old. I have Bachelor of Arts in Education along with my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I've taught in a 2nd grade and TK/Kinder classroom for the past year and a half. In between student teaching, I've worked for multiple families with children whose age ranges between 2 and 12. I'm a compassionate, responsible, and reliable caregiver with 5+ years of experience. My background in teaching has assisted me in providing social, emotional, and academic support for all my kiddos! I'm effective at meal preparation, housework, naptime, tutoring, and developing fun & engaging activities. I'm available early mornings to late evenings Monday-Friday and some occasional weekends. Resume is available upon request. Looking forward to hearing from ya!

Hi my name is Tanya! I have been around kids all my life since my mom had an at home daycare so she could work and raise my younger sister and I. Being around infants and toddlers all my life I have learned how to work and handle whatever situation gets thrown my way. I started working with kids on my own at the young age of 13 being a babysitter for my neighbors and watching their kids while they went out on date nights. As I got older I got recommended to other families by my neighgors and started getting more and more families to fill my weekends and sometimes even week nights. At the age of 19 I started my first nanny job (another referral) with a family I had never met. They needed someone to watch their 7 week old baby girl FULL TIME! I was on winter break from college so I said I could help. Flash forward four and a half years later and I still work with them, but only part time since I'm still in school. Our families have become very close and I even went on vacation with them to watch the kids while they went out on the town. I go to San Jose SU and through referrals I have also managed to connect with great families to work for over the hill. I live in San Jose part time and then come home to Soquel on the weekend, so I can work at either place. I have tons of great referrals upon request and all families are available to call and eager to talk about their experience working with me. What I will do: Pick up and drop off kids after school Take kids to after school activities Help with homework Feed kids Prep them for bed time Get them to bed on time (you tell me their bed time they will be in bed on the dot no excuses) Other respnsilities you need we can talk about them and discuss what I will and won't do. I love working with infants (I've always wanted to work with twins) and children under the age on 12. I am CPR certified And I have loads of energy to spend time playing with your kids be it indoors or outdoors.

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 genuinely love caring for children and supporting families. I find it very fulfilling to provide support to a child as they grow and learn. Engaging with kids in their interests and seeing them experience things for the first time are some of my greatest joys. Former pediatric registered nurse with 26+ years of recent experience. I have cared for children of all ages, from preterm infants to teens.  I would prefer to work with infants, but am open to working with children of other ages. I'm happy to care for children with special needs, with the exception of those requiring tracheostomy care. Examples of tasks I am confident and competent to do: • administering medications (scheduled, as needed, oral, injection, etc.) • home infusions and maintenance of central line (once signed off by parent or home care nurse for technique and protocols) • seizure precautions and administration of emergency meds • diabetic management with glucose monitoring and administration of insulin • tube feedings, including placing NGT • infants with feeding issues This is not an exhaustive list. If not listed here, I am open to disscussing needs. I have a flexible schedule, love pets (especially dogs) and I look forward to learning about your family!
