Find infant babysitters in Soquel, CA

Hi! I’m originally from Ventura County, California. I have just moved to the area! I’m a nurturing, patient, and creative person who genuinely loves working with children! It’s a very natural job for me, I used to work in corporate recruiting and headhunting. I now have 2–3 years of experience in assisting a daycare with 7 children and early childhood education, working primarily with ages 1–6. I’m ECEA certified, as well as CPR and First Aid certified. My approach to childcare is centered around nature-based and play-based learning. I love encouraging children’s natural curiosity, creativity, and imagination while also making space for quiet moments and downtime. Creating a safe, loving environment where children feel supported and free to be themselves is really important to me. I’m also an artist, so I especially enjoy incorporating painting, crafts, nature-inspired projects, baking, reading, and outdoor adventures into our days! Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with household tasks like cleaning, laundry, organizing, and meal prep. I’m currently looking for part-time work, preferably mornings, around Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, Felton, Ben Lomond, and surrounding areas. I’ll be in the area for about a year before moving abroad. My preferred rate is $35–$40/hour, but I’m always happy to discuss what works best for your family! I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit! I also have references to contact as well!

I’m a caring, dependable caregiver with experience as a YMCA counselor, elementary classroom aide, and PE teacher. I’ve provided childcare for over 4 years and am a parent to a 9-year-old daughter. I also bring 5+ years of household services experience and 1 year of senior care, supporting two seniors with daily needs. I’m patient, organized, and genuinely love helping families feel supported and cared for.
