Find an emergency babysitter in Castroville, CA

My name is Caroline, and I bring many years of childcare experience working with children from 3 months to 14 years of age. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment while helping families add ease and balance to their daily lives. In addition to my childcare background, I am a locally registered nurse, which allows me to provide an extra level of care, confidence, and attentiveness to children’s health and wellbeing. I love supporting children’s growth through play, learning, and meaningful connection. Outside of caregiving, I enjoy exploring all the amazing spots around the Peninsula, embracing nature, and encouraging curiosity and adventure in everyday moments.

I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, from babies and toddlers to school-age children and teenagers. I also have experience as a teacher, which has helped me become patient, creative, organized, and comfortable adapting to each child’s personality and needs. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, planning fun activities, helping with routines, meals, homework, transportation, and keeping their environment safe and organized. I also absolutely love animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and pet sitting. I’m reliable, flexible, attentive, and always respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. I love creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for both children and pets!

I am a reliable, creative caregiver with six years of experience babysitting families with up to four children and working as a camp counselor. As a senior at UC Santa Cruz majoring in Art History and minoring in Education, I lean into my artistic background to plan engaging, art-driven activities and games that keep kids inspired and entertained. I am highly organized and skilled at managing daily routines, from school pick-ups to meals and bedtime. Beyond childcare, I have a strong background in household and animal care, including house sitting for families with dogs and cats, and volunteering for years at an animal rescue. Safety is my top priority; I am Red Cross certified in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR and hold a Food Handlers Permit. With my friendly, positive attitude, I focus on creating a fun, safe, and structured environment for your family.

Hello, my name is Alma. I am 29 years old and a single mother of three beautiful girls, aged 7, 6, and 3. I am very patient, creative, and responsible, and I learn new skills quickly. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and certified in First Aid and CPR; I do not smoke or drink alcohol. Spanish is my native language, and I also speak English. I would be happy and grateful with any parents who give me the opportunity and trust to provide their children with top-quality care.

Hi, I’m Catie! I’m a 23 year old oldest sister, experienced nanny, and Wellesley College alumna new to the Santa Cruz area. During my gap year before my college, I worked 40-60 hours a week nannying two absolutely incredible kids (ages 2 and 4). And over the course of my undergrad, I worked 5-15 hours a week with a lovely family caring for their 4 year old daughter. In both these roles, I also assisted with organization, transportation, and housekeeping needs. I align with the Montessori philosophy of childcare, and think it’s imperative that kids feel seen, heard, and understood, and that they feel safe and empowered to learn and have fun! I’m looking for part-time and babysitting work. Please reach out - I’d love to see if I’m the right fit for your family!
