Hello! My name is Jordan. I am currently a student at UC Santa Cruz and I am offering childcare and household services. I love being a baby sitter.

Hi! I’m Brooke, and I’ve been caring for kids for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped raise little ones from newborns all the way up to double-digit ages, so I’m very comfortable with every stage. I’m also a college graduate with a degree in psychology and have used that knowledge to become a Registered Behavioral Technician and work professionally with kids with autism, which taught me a lot about patience, creativity, and supporting kids’ unique needs. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, outgoing, fun, and super active. I love keeping kids engaged, playing games, and helping them learn and grow in a safe and happy environment!

Hi! My name is Maria Paula, and I’m a caring, dependable person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while learning and growing, and I enjoy to be around kids. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy engaging children in activities like reading, crafts, outdoor play, and helping with routines that keep their day positive and structured. Building trusting relationships with both children and parents is very important to me, and I always strive to support each family’s unique needs and values. I’ve been working with the same family for the past four years, where I currently care for their 4-year-old and 8-year-old. During that time, I’ve gained a lot of experience managing daily routines, planning fun activities, playing with my kids and making sure the children feel happy and supported throughout the day. I’m currently looking for a full-time position with a family where I can provide consistent, loving care and become a positive part of your child’s daily life. I look forward to connecting and learning more about your family!
