Hi! I’m Brittany, I’m an early education teacher taking care of infants and toddlers!graduated from UC Santa Cruz in June 2024 with a degree in Psychology and furthered my education a few years later by getting my units in early childhood development. Because I work full time as a teacher, I am available to help out on weekends only. I’m someone who really values creating a safe, calming, and fun environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, prepping snacks, or planning a fun arts and crafts project, I love being a steady, positive and safe person in a child’s day. Looking forward to getting to know you and your family!

Hi! My name is Eden, I’m 20 years old and I am a born and raised New Yorker. I am currently attending college at UC Santa Cruz in California where I am studying psychology and economics and work as a campus tour guide and an indoor cycling instructor!I have been babysitting for around 9 years and have experience with children ranging from 2 months to 12 years old. I have been working for the same family for almost 4 years now. I started working for them when their first son was about 8 months old. During this time I would come at night while he was sleeping or put him to sleep myself. As he got older I started going in the daytime, taking him to the playground/park, playinggames, and doing arts and crafts. Right before I left for college I was able to babysit his newborn brother! I am now home for the summer and looking for more babysitting jobs! I am available practically anytime of day and would be willing to stay overnight.
