I started babysitting in high school, and I have been nannying for families for over a decade. I have experience with children aged 3 months to 13 years, and am comfortable babysitting up to three children at a time. I lived in Santa Cruz for 7 years, and I return every winter for December, January, and February to visit family & friends. During this time, I am available for date night or occasional jobs, and can offer support during winter holiday breaks from school. When I babysit, I like to spend as much time as possible outside or playing active games with the children. I am an engaged, sensitive, and attentive caretaker. I also run art camps for kiddos, so I often come to jobs stocked with art supplies and crafty activities to do together. When I am not babysitting, I like to spend time with my family and friends, Read more meditate, and make art.
