Hi, I'm Mary Anne! I have been a professional caregiver for infants, toddlers, young children and seniors for about 30 years, most recently as a nanny and home-based eldercare provider, and it’s been a joy! I am currently seeking a 30 to 40 hour a week ongoing position, and meanwhile, I am happy to accept one-time jobs. I have a strong college background in infant, child and adult development behind me, but my most important learning has come from those I’ve cared for! My aim is to be fully present with those I care for, tuned into their individual needs and interests, as well as moments where they might need support or challenge. I love learning what makes someone of any age “tick”, and in getting to really know someone and what makes for a harmonious and caring relationship for each individual. I respect those I care for as active participants in whatever’s happening, and I want to support them to make choices that are meaningful to them throughout their day, and to supplement that with drawing out their own unique interests to create interesting, meaningful days, often in new ways. I’m happy to support families with simple meal prep and light housekeeping or any other reasonable requests. . I’m happy to drive to outings, whether for fun, to get in touch with nature, for exercise or for errands, and to include pets in my care. I cared very successfully for my father during the nine years of his dementia journey, and love to serve folks with those needs. Overall, I delight in being a lifelong learner and would love to learn how I can serve your family! I have a comprehensive packet of information about my care work, including more letters of recommendation that I'm happy to email to you, so please ask me!
“To whom it may concern, From March 2022 to August 2022, Mary Anne Cutaia was our nanny for our two-year-old son when we decided that he just wasn’t ready quite yet for pre-school. Our son previously had a history of behavioral issues at preschool, and those have remarkably disappeared since his time with Mary Anne. (Usually 1-2 days per week, the daily note from school would indicate some difficulty he had; I haven't seen a single difficulty noted in the month that he's been back.) We felt safe leaving our son with Mary Anne each day, trusting that she would handle whatever came up. She also took the initiative to send us several photos each day that showed highlights of his activities. She shared her observations and interactions with him, as well as made suggestions based on her child development background. She respectfully worked with practical limit-setting and worked on ways to help him concentrate on eating vs throwing his food, thinking he was funny. She also supported and facilitated his play with other children during daily park trips and told us about other children that he played well with at the park, who might be suitable for play dates. She also recommended open-ended play materials specific to his play interests and introduced sensory-based play materials that helped him increase his ability to focus. And suggested preschool-aged books that supported empathy, choice-making, and more cooperative play skills. She also taught him to share with her and other children. Mary Anne was incredible with our son and helped teach him valuable lessons that have improved his time at his pre-school, and that will serve him as he grows. We very much appreciate Mary Anne and her help. Phoenix R. Titus 619-912-3121 [email protected]”
Hi! My name is Anna, I am a caring and dependable babysitter. I currently work as a RBT and have experience working with children of all ages, and also have experience in preschools. I love creating fun activities while also providing a safe and nurturing environment.
“Anna was great! Excellent communication, arrived promptly, and my kids loved her.”
Hi i’m Azarya! I’m looking for any positions for fulltime! I have experience with all ages and i’m currently a nursing assistant. I am also CPR certified! I love caring for kids, i will also do pets, I love animals! I have 5+ years caring for kids!
Hi! My name is Dakota. I’m 18 years old and recently moved to Santa Cruz in December. Working with kids is something I genuinely love and have been doing for most of my life. Prior to moving to Santa Cruz, I was a huge part of raising and caring for my niece (7), nephew (8), and little sister who turns 3 this year. Being around kids has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, loving, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. I also previously cared for a family with a 1-year-old and a 3 year old, which gave me even more hands-on experience with different ages, routines, and personalities. I’m very active and love getting kids outside for walks, park trips, beach days, and little adventures, but I also love slower indoor activities like painting, coloring, puzzles, play dough, reading stories, and creative play. I’m totally comfortable with low or zero screen time, but I’m also flexible with whatever works best for your family! A little about me, I have my license, a clean driving record, and a reliable SUV. I graduated high school in June 2025 and eventually plan to attend cosmetology school, but for now I’m focused on working and finding a family that feels like a great fit. I’d love to hear more about your routines and what’s most important to you in a nanny/caregiver. I’m extremely patient, warm, affectionate, dependable, and always willing to ask questions to make sure I’m supporting your family the best way possible. I’m not CPR certified yet, but I’m absolutely willing to get certified. I’m also flexible with scheduling as long as there’s communication in advance. I’d love to connect more and hear about your family! Please feel free to ask me any questions at all. I look forward to hearing from you!
Hello! I’m a fun-loving nanny who believes the best days are spent being active and curious. From backyard adventures and local park trips to building LEGO masterpieces and arts and crafts, I love staying hands-on. I’m highly dependable, CPR-certified, and comfortable with pets. My goal is to make sure your kids are happy, healthy, and tired by the time you get home! I have 3+ years of experience with children aged 1-12. I am always open to helping out with behind the scenes tasks like laundry or dishes. I look forward to becoming a trusted extension of your family!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."
Michelle R., mom of two
"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
Milena L., mom of two
"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
Heather B., mom of two
