Alivia G., Babysitter in Montecito, CA 93108 with 18 years of 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.

Alivia has been an excellent sitter. She's been watching my 3 month old while I work from home. Very kind and patient with him, and helpful with small around the house tidying when he naps. We love her!

Alondra is the BEST! We were so lucky to have her! She was always on time (often early) and flexible if we ever needed more time. She was incredible with our baby girl starting at 4 months old. She was intuitive and got her down for all her naps. You would often hear her singing and playing with her. She gave her full attention. You could tell my girl was super comfortable with her and would light up every time she came over. Alondra also speaks Spanish and spoke only Spanish to our girl (I am a Spanish teacher and that was important to me). She is easy to communicate with and genuine and kind. I can't recommend her enough :)

Dariana R., Babysitter in Montecito, CA 93108 with 3 years of paid experience

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.

Dariana was incredible to have as our caretaker for my two girls. They were ages 2 and the younger 6 months at the time, so it was very hands on! They were so loved and cared for - she helped prepare healthy meals, go for outings to the park and library, manage nap times. She became a dear friend to our family, and we are so grateful for the time spent together.

Liudmyla  K., Babysitter in Montecito, CA 93108 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! I am from Ukraine and have been residing in the states for 8 years now. Taking care of kids is more than a job to me; it is a commitment to be a helpful partner to parents + to invest in children, help them thrive in day-to-day situations and grow in character and excellence. I have worked with kids in non-profit organizations, as well as a nanny with 3 families (with 5 kids under five for 2 years, a little girl 8 months - 3, 5 years of age, a little boy 2-9 months). Currently taking care of a 5-months old girl. I love to combine taking care of kids (planning their schedules, making meals, organizing their spaces, homeschooling, styling them etc) with keeping home areas nice and neat. My clients are often business owners, so I learned and enjoy working with kids independently, if needed. I am trustworthy, a self-starter. Got BA in Teaching and MBA. I will be happy to be helpful to your family and become a valuable friend to your child!

Kylie R., Babysitter in Montecito, CA 93108 with 2 years of paid experience

I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic college student who enjoys working with kids and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and supported. I love creating fun, positive experiences for children all while prioritizing safety. I have experience as a camp counselor, classroom volunteer, and babysitter, which has given me experience working with children of all different ages and personalities. As a camp counselor, I helped lead activities, keep kids engaged, and make sure everyone was safe and included. My classroom volunteer experience also taught me patience, communication, and how to support children in a learning environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and creative, and I’m always happy to play games, do crafts, help with homework, or simply be there to make sure your child has a great time. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in good hands, and I strive to provide a safe, fun, and caring environment for every family I work with.
