Dear Parents, I am a Mom of two and a Career Nanny and I absolutely love it! ♥️ I started babysitting at 15 years young and later went on to run a daycare with 14 children that ranged from newborn to 13 years old. I was taught the ins-and-outs of childcare by “Mama Dolores”, a loving, well rounded professional that is also a Child Psychologist. It was quite the challenge and a wonderful learning experience! We are still close friends to this day. I strive to be patient, polite, and respectful and hate that good manners are not always commonplace anymore. I am naturally observant, empathetic and communicative. I really enjoy playing with little ones and listening to them use their imaginations during play, and of course, babies melt my heart. I’m quite adaptable and will follow any instructions given especially regarding food allergies and medical conditions. Verbal guidance is my method of discipline, and if necessary then a time out, which I find is rarely needed. I love going to the park, library, children’s museum, aquarium, beach, and doing arts and crafts. (Am also an artist 🎨 and jewelry maker.) Along with childcare I’ve also owned my own ✨Housecleaning Company for 22+ years so tidying up and teaching children to contribute with age appropriate tasks comes naturally. I’ve taken a CPR class and have a cleared background check, a valid drivers license, insurance, and a safe, well maintained SUV if needed. I do not smoke or vape, rarely drink in moderation, and do not use illicit drugs or narcotic prescriptions. (Do not cast judgment either.) I also have experience in assisting to care for seniors, whom I have a special fondness for, post-surgery recovery help, Pet Sitting, and House Sitting. Caring for Special Needs children does not intimidate me as long as I know what to expect. I especially enjoy people with Down Syndrome & Autism.(Genuine and clever.) I thrive in a work environment that allows for variety, occasional flexibility, honesty & when possible a creative 🎨outlet. Mellow background🎵 🎶 MUSIC helps to keep me feeling light & focused. I enjoy working with people from ‘all walks of life,’ and being able help overwhelmed Moms & Dads to feel a bit lighter at the end of the day and hopefully they can squeeze in a little time for themselves too.☀️ P.S.- I am NOT self absorbed so I’m uncomfortable talking about myself so much but it’s important to be descriptive since you’re inviting a stranger into your home.

Hi, I have 9 years experience as a nanny with infants 4+ years, toddlers 3 years,more than 1 year +special kids (autism) and school ages. I graduated from design school and have ECE education. I have covid vaccine, flu shot, Tdap and booster shots. I have a clean driving record. I have CPR certification. Thank you.

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.
