I have been in the Early Childhood field for over 30 years working with children ages 2 months to 12 years old. I have a BA in Human-Development, an AA in Early Childhood Education and am CPR/first-aid certified. I have experience with special-needs and multiples. Love animals and do pet-care as well if needed. I am available for occasional jobs and/or P/T work. Quality care is what you will get with me. I love doing nature-based activities, crafts, music & movement, sports, games and anything active & fun. I keep things clean & tidy...think Mary Poppins + Yoga-gal = ME! BTW, I have back-round check clearance from schools I sub at so that's why I didn't pay to run one through Sittercity and CLEAN driving record. Excellent references. Thank you for considering me.

I am currently a graduate student getting my masters in education and credentials for teaching at UCSB. I have been babysitting for 9 years now, I started in high school. I started out with families I knew and as I got more experience I went out and found new families that needed a babysitter. I would stay at the kids’’ houses from the time they got home from school to the time they needed to sleep. I helped them with their homework, played with them, made them dinner, helped out for the baths, and put them to bed. After a year I got my license, my responsibilities were also to pick them up from school.

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.

Hello! My name is Alondra. I graduated last year with a degree in Spanish, and I plan to get my teaching credential next year. I love working with children of all ages. I'm currently babysitting an 8-month-old baby and a 1-year-old toddler. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

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 third year studying film and theater at UCSB. I am originally from Indiana, where I have 2 younger siblings. I believe this is where my love for children comes from, for I have always thought of my siblings in a maternal way. Thus, I started babysitting in 8th grade for it was the only job that truly sounded appealing and exciting to me. Ever since then, I have babysat and nannied throughout my summers and during the school year on weekends and nights. I genuinely love working with kids and hope to work with yours :)
