Hello! I’m an energetic, fun, and loving sitter/nanny with many years of experience working with infants, toddlers, children, teens, and young adults across various capacities such as nannying, within after school programs, residential programs, regular school day teaching, special needs therapist, pediatric palliative care, and general childcare provider. I'm easygoing, patient, friendly, creative, reliable, responsible, and a great communicator with parents regarding their children. I'm happy to work with dogs in the household, but am allergic to cats. I kindly ask that you please advise if anyone in the household has been displaying cold or covid related symptoms within the last 24 hours and I will do the same. Similarly, if your child has challenges, I ask that you please be transparent about those challenges from the beginning rather than waiting for the challenges to become apparent after arranging care.Please be considerate, respectful, and professional with booking as inconsiderate care seekers can cause great inconvenience. For cancellations that occur with less than 24 hours notice, cancellation payment will be requested. For recurring jobs, cancellation pay will be requested if needing to cancel with less than 2 weeks notice. Should your care session end early, please pay for the time booked, same for sessions that go past the scheduled time. For in person meetings or interviews, a paid hour of time will be requested. Please advise in advance regarding parking restrictions in your neighborhood, if any. I look forward to connecting with you and your family!

Hey! My name is Ace, and I am a Sophomore at UCSC studying psychology. I grew up in a Southern California beach town, where I spent my time swimming, participating in the Junior Lifeguard program, and playing water polo. I spent the past three summers as a certified lifeguard, and I enjoy hiking, spending time outdoors, and art. My experience with kids ranges from giving swim lessons to babysitting for neighborhood families. I also had the opportunity to spend time in Bali and Ecuador, where I assisted in teaching English in local schools as part of a volunteer service organization called Global Leadership Adventures. As the oldest of three brothers, I have a lifetime of experience with high-energy kids! I am seeking part-time work that allows me to remain committed to my studies while also providing opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and have some fun. I consider myself responsible, reliable, and patient. I enjoy helping kids find their self-confidence.
