Hii! My name is Alexandra, and I’m currently a freshman at UCSC! I’m offering child care services to families who need an extra hand. I love being around kids and have been babysitting for a few years now. I have many nieces and nephews who I’ve helped care for since they were newborns, so I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages. I’m flexible with hours and I’m happy to help with cooking, cleaning, and keeping the kids entertained and comfortable. Most importantly I’ll make sure your children are safe and well cared for.
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.

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!
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!
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!
