Hello, my name is Kate Matheson, I am 23 years old, and I am currently based in Santa Cruz. I moved here from Santa Barbara in 2021 for college. I currently work as a part-time nanny for two girls ( 2&4) here in the local area. Before becoming a nanny, I worked in a marketing role at Red Bull for a little over two years; however, the bulk of my work experience is in childcare. In high school, I worked as a nanny for a blended family for 3 years and babysat for dozens of other families during that time. I have worked with children ranging in age from 2 to 14 years old. As a current nanny, I also take responsibility for family grocery shopping, overnights, light cleaning, and most importantly, having a safe and trusting relationship with the families I work with. I have always thrived and really Read more enjoyed working with kids; being an older sister of 2 brothers, it comes very naturally to me. Some other things about me, I live for the beach and have grown up surfing my whole life, my friends and family are everything to me, and my other favorite hobbies are cooking and jewelry making. I drive a 2014 Toyota Rav4, have a perfect driving record, and have my first aid and CPR certification. Please message me back with any questions and look forward to hearing back. Kate Matheson
