Find experienced babysitters in Goleta, CA

I know that my time and place here is meant to be as someone whom cares for and laughs with other humans. 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 they are continuously molding a child's way of being by how they interact with them. I am currently a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in the area (#163458), slowly building my private practice. As I build my caseload, I am available for either one-off needs, consistent date nights, or temporary help. If something more consistent fits with my private practice schedule, I’d love to do that too! 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 cared for infants, young kiddos, and teenagers. Outside of my clinical work with kids and teens, I have nannied infants and young kids, and coached high school women's volleyball. I want nothing more than to help children, families, and the world feel safe, resilient, and cared for.

I love being a babysitter because I really enjoy spending time with kids and discovering all sorts of interesting things. It brings me great joy to learn alongside them and it makes this job incredibly fulfilling. I have several years of experience working with children, having been involved in children’s radio programs since I was nine years old, leading music workshops and school concerts. For babies and toddlers from birth up to three years old, I provide daily, age-appropriate activities focused on early childhood development, including motor skills such crawling, walking or talking, autonomy skills, and daily care such as feeding, hygiene, and learning what they can safely eat. I love using music and movement with them, and I’m always researching and learning whether it’s about child development, nutrition, or body movement. This allows me to always think like a child and connect with them at their level, which is the best way I can support their growth. I also like guiding them through values I learned at home since I was little with helped me a lot as a person. Since I was a child, I have been deeply interested in the world of arts and music. From the age of 12, I have been learning to play instruments like the jarana, piano, ukulele, and I perform basic skills in guitar and Latin percussion. Since I was 6, I have also danced folk and Latin American dances. Additionally, since I was 9, I have been part of a radio program, so I am a radio host and do voiceover and radio presenting. I have also been studying to become a jazz singer for two years. I absolutely love dancing, painting, drawing, and creating crafts. I also love cooking; I have learned a lot from my mom. Since I was 12, I have been deeply immersed in a traditional musical genre from my hometown, and I continue to grow my knowledge in that style. I consider myself a nature lover, and I am passionate about teaching kids the importance of caring for the environment. I have and I feel that I connect easily with children. I also have a lot of patience, which I have found is the key to all of this work that I love, and I have been driving since I was 14 years old.

Hi! I’m Isabel. I have about four years of childcare experience and have cared for children ranging from ages 1 to 12. I originally became interested in childcare through volunteering with a special needs after-school program, and since then I’ve worked with several families, including children on the autism spectrum. I’d describe myself as friendly, nurturing, organized, and fun. I’m naturally calm and patient, but I also love being playful and keeping kids engaged. Some of my favorite things to do with children are arts and crafts, reading, learning games, painting, and finding creative activities based on what they’re interested in. One of my longest babysitting positions was with a family of two children, where I regularly helped with school pickup and drop-off, bedtime routines, light housework, and their day-to-day schedule. I’m also very comfortable caring for babies, preparing simple meals and snacks, helping with homework, and taking care of pets. The arts are a big part of my life as well. I attended an arts-focused school for nine years and love painting, singing, classical music, and art history, so I especially enjoy bringing creativity into the time I spend with kids. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have safe and reliable transportation, and am currently continuing my education in childcare and special needs education to hopefully become an Occupational Therapist. Most importantly, I want parents to feel that their children are with someone they can genuinely trust and will be able to get to know while also making sure the kids feel comfortable, cared for, and excited to spend time together.
