My name is Samantha, and I’m 33 years old. I’m a professional nanny and occasional babysitter when I have the chance. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns as young as 9 weeks, to toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged kids, and teenagers. Before becoming a nanny, I started a kids dance program at the Montecito YMCA, which sparked my passion for working with children and supporting families. Families trust me because I am background-checked, have a clean driving record, and bring reliability, warmth, and thoughtfulness into every home. I take pride in creating safe, engaging, and fun environments where children thrive and parents have peace of mind knowing their kids are well cared for.

Hi my name is Salma and I am currently a college student. I have always loved taking care of people, specifically younger kids. I love being around people with a lot of energy and I tend to find that kids will always keep you on your toes and moving and that is definitely something I love about being a sitter. I love being outdoors and being active, and truly doing anything outside when it is sunny. I have always been told that I have a very maternal side as I am commonly called the “mother” of the friend group due to me just always caring for and looking after my friends. I am bilingual, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I love to read and paint and that’s something I love doing with kids as I feel it allows them to be very creative and hands on. Something that sets me apart from other sitters is I am very attentive, loving, and energetic. I will always try to keep kids busy whether it be indoors our outdoors because I believe in letting kids let there energy out in fun ways while fostering an environment where kids will always learn a new skill or just have fun with what they are doing.

I know that my time and place here is meant to be someone whom supports, educates, and laughs with children. I know how important the tone of voice you use when talking to children, how they see you interact with the world, and how they need humans in their life that are compassionate, patient, and know how effective they can be in molding a child's way of being. I am currently a Philosophy student at UC Berkeley, working on a project that will bring philosophical discussions into classrooms and community centers. Especially in this time, children need help in making sense of everything, answering their questions that are sometimes unanswerable. I want to be that person that supports and provides comfort in the times of confusion or curiosity. I have worked with infants, adolescence, and teenagers. I have nannied infants and coach high school women's volleyball. I want nothing more than to help children, families, and the world in raising who will one day be the minds creating.

Hi! I am a undergraduate student at UC Santa Barbara majoring in biology. I absolutely love kids, and have tons of experience working with them! I have prior experience babysitting, have siblings I helped out with, worked at Kumon where I taught kids 6-18 math and and English, and have spent the last summer working at a pediatric dentist office, helping kids ease their fears of the dentist. Most importantly, I was a camp counselor this past summer for a week long camp which entailed me being in charge of 3 six-nine year olds everyday from waking them up, making sure they were eating properly, making sure they were having fun, and putting them to sleep. I learned many valuable skills in that position that I believe will greatly help me in this role. I am mostly available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends, and would love to meet you and your kids!

Before I could even drive, I started babysitting for a family in my neighborhood, and I’ve loved it ever since. I also grew up with three brothers, with two younger than me, so I naturally stepped into the role of the "second mom" from a young age. In my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to be a peer mentor, supporting students with special needs and learning differences, which was both eye-opening and rewarding. Currently, I’m in my fourth year at UCSB, studying Psychological and Brain Sciences with a minor in Educational Studies. While in undergrad, I’ve been a nanny for a family for almost two years, where I help with school pick-ups, light meal prep, and driving the kids to their extracurriculars. Babysitting has always been a meaningful and fulfilling part of my life and it’s something I genuinely enjoy!
