Caitlin H.
- 18 years paid experience
- 4 miles

Hello my name is Caitlin I am a 35 year old living here in Santa Barbara. I have always loved taking care of and working with children. I interned my last semester of college at a school for boys with emotional and behavioral problems. The year after college I volunteered a year of full time service with City Year whose mission is to reduce the drop out rates in schools by mentoring and tutoring children. Then went on to work in special education for a few years before shifting my career to marketing. I have babysat and nannied for many families over the years. Some of the longer term jobs I have had was nannying for a family from New York who summered in Maine, they also brought me on their vacation to Puerto Rico. My sophomore year of college I babysat and tutored a young boy every day after school. While teaching I would nanny after school, nights and weekends for a couple families whose children I adored. I am a very mature and responsible individual who adores working with and taking care of children. I also tend to be very neat and tidy and enjoy cleaning up and organizing things. I have been a care giver for multiple families. Friends, family & coworkers would describe me as positive, upbeat, reliable, hard worker who also loves to have fun. Happy to provide you with references.

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.

Alivia G.
- 18 years paid experience

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'm Calypso, and I am looking for a part time babysitting job! I'm from the Bay Area, but now live and attend school in SB. I started babysitting in high school and also have experience working with kids in professional settings. I worked full time at a daycare where I provided all around care to 0-2-year-olds. The last two summers I have worked as a camp counselor at a ranch, where I taught elementary aged kids animal care, cooking, arts and crafts, and games. Now at SBCC, I take Early Childhood Education classes to further my childcare knowledge, and hope to continue my work with kids while balancing school. I know how important it is to find a babysitter who's not only reliable, but also enthusiastic about making my time with your kids both fun and meaningful. Whether it's reading, playing games, helping with homework, or just creating a positive environment, I am dedicated to being attentive, and reliable. I hope to have the chance to meet and make your life a little easier!

Basilia F.
- 1 year paid experience

Hello! My name is Basilia Juno Farshchi I’m 18 and just moved to Santa Barbara from Denver. I only have about a year of professional babysitting experience, and I babysat children between 3-10 years old who lived throughout my neighborhood and went to my sisters school. My sister is 11 years younger than me however, so I have many hours of hand on experience having babysat her since she was an infant. I love playing games, hiking, swimming, and watching television. I also play electric guitar. At home I loved to keep my sister active and teach her new skills. I have experience tutoring as well, meaning I’ll be able to assist your children in any homework they might have. I’m trained in CPR and first aid. I attended montessori school through middle school and learned the principles of childcare and education. I believe in providing an entirely hospitable environment for you and your family and giving your children fun and memorable experiences. I have another profile on Wyndy where an advanced background check has already been done, and am also certified in CPR, AED, and first aid.
