Sittercity helps San Luis Obispo families find the best babysitters

I’ve been babysitting for 8 years and have experience with children of all different ages. I also worked as a nanny for two young boys, which gave me even more hands-on experience with daily routines and long-term care. I’ve handled everything from bedtime and dinner prep to school pickups and driving kids to activities. I love babysitting because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. They’re fun, creative, and full of energy, and I like being part of that.

Hello! I'm Shay, I just moved to San Luis Obispo after living in Oregon for the last year and a half. I recently finished EMT training and am in the job search and application process to work in town. I used to babysit pretty consistently during high school and then watched people's dogs and cats fairly frequently during college. I also used to volunteer at a local retirement home so have some experience assisting elders. I hope my emergency medicine training will help you feel at ease while caring for your loved ones. I am open to caring for pets, children, and seniors. :)

I have formal training in care for children ages 6 months- 17 years. I also am Adult and Infant CPR, AED, and First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross.

Hi, My name is Paige Bariteau and I am from Santa Cruz California. I am currently attending Cuesta College majoring in Business Administration with a minor in Early Childhood Development. My mom has taught Kindergarten and 2nd grade my whole life allowing me to help out and work one on one with the kids. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I would watch neighborhood kids of all ages while their parents would go out. When I turned 16 I got a job nannying a 2 year old and 4 year old. I would pick them up from school take them to the park then back home for dinner, bath, and bed time. When I was not in school I’d go over in the morning to wake them up, make breakfast and get them ready for the day. I learned a lot of responsibility and management skills while doing this job. When I was 17, I worked for a family after school watching their 9 month old and 2 year old while their parents were at work or out on date nights. Multitasking with two kids is very manageable for me. On top of babysitting, I worked three days a week at a restaurant as a server where I learned how to problem solve and work with others to create an environment where people feel welcomed and accommodated while at our restaurant. While on honor role at my high school I played three Varsity sports, where I learned the importance of being a team player.

Hi, I’m Lily. I currently take care of a toddler for at least two days a week. I have been watching him for about 4 months. His Mom is pregnant so I will be helping her a little bit with the baby. I am a cheer coach at my old high school and am certified in CPR. I love little kids, and I love to play and sing and dance! 💃🏼 🪩

Ive worked with kids of many ages and have experience with pets. I like to engage with the kids and limit screen time. I also have experience with basic cleaning and yard work.

Hello! My name is Britt. 😊 I grew up in WA state near Seattle and came to CA for college. I have 29 years of experience... Ever since age 13 I’ve babysat for several families at a time and also loved it! I think the best part of it all is getting to see these tiny beings change and grow, seeing their personalities come to light. Many might see babysitting as just a necessity for parents to be able to go out and have adult time, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a chance to have fun, to engage a child’s sense of wonder and their sense of self. I like to do activities with them and be outdoors when possible. I’m very respectful of parents’ preferences and like to follow their same rules set for their kids. I know that being a parent can sometimes be challenging... I can be there to help give you a much needed break or to help make daily life a little easier for you. While I have not been blessed to be a mother yet myself, I’ve learned a wide variety of things from each of the families I’ve had the pleasure to know and love. I have experience with autistic, Down syndrome, as well as behaviorally challenged individuals. I can help with homework, house work, transportation, and errands. I also am available for overnights, weekend stays (or longer if needed) and assistance on family vacations. Any other questions feel free to ask! ☺️

I have been working with children for the past 6 years. Most recently, I was a preschool teacher from 2022-2025. During that time, I worked with various age groups and earned my Child Development Associate Accreditation. Additionally,, I taught computer coding for elementary aged students for 2 years and was a nanny for a family with an 8 year old girl. Teaching in schools helped me develop with my skills in early education. I love to have fun and make kids feel comfortable with approaching new skills and situations. My passion is helping kids grow their interests and explore the world around them in a way that is interesting and fun for each individual kid, whether that’s as a nanny, babysitter, or in the classroom.
