About Fionnuala
Experience: 8 yrs
Hi there! My name is Fionnuala and I'm a sophomore at UCSC studying Astrophysics. I'm excited to become part of the community in Santa Cruz and to start building connections with families here. I've always had a passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. As an attentive and friendly caregiver with 8 years of experience both in family childcare and in the classroom, I'm excited to bring warmth and joy to your family! I am experienced in caring for all ages from infant to preteen. I'm comfortable with large families since I am the eldest of 6 myself, the youngest being my 8-month-old baby brother! As a very family-centered person, I try to support my families by communicating actively with parents throughout the day. You can expect fun pictures throughout the day, updates on our activities, and of course immediate reports of any issues or. Above all else, I want children to have fun, and the parents to feel confident that their children are safe and taken care of.

Finn is absolutely magical and responsible and brilliant. As a teacher myself I am so picky about babysitters, and I can honestly say that Ms. Finn is the best. I met her first as a camp counselor at our school (she designed her own Harry Potter camp). Finn had also worked as an after school program facilitator for several years at our school - and she is consistently empathetic, fun and responsible…and all of the kids love her. Time spent with Finn as a babysitter is a gift to our kids. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough.
