Childcare That Feels Like Family
Connecting Santa Cruz families with hand-selected, caring nannies since 2015
A More Personal Approach
After 10 years in childcare, I've seen firsthand how impersonal the big platforms can be. That's why I started Santa Cruz Nannies—to offer something different.
I personally know every single nanny in our network. I've watched them work, I know their hearts, and I hand-select the perfect match for your family. This isn't about browsing profiles online— it's about real connections, in-person meetings, and finding someone who truly fits.
We're a community, not a database. And I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
