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 Read more 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.

Caitlin was my full time sitter for several summers and I trusted her implicitly with my sons. We are still in touch and I have called on Caitlin in recent years to house-sit for me and also take care of my dog. She is trustworthy, fun and very capable. I could not recommend Caitlin more!

We have been lucky enough to have Caitlin as our go-to sitter for the past three years, and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. She regularly looks after our 5 and 3 year old, and most recently cared for them for three full days while we were out of town, and they had the absolute best time! She is everything you could hope for in someone caring for your children: reliable, experienced, and full of energy. She goes above and beyond to keep the kids engaged and happy, taking them on fun adventures to parks, museums, and more. My little ones absolutely adore her bubbly, funny personality, and I always know they’re in safe, caring hands when she’s with them. Finding someone who not only adores children but also makes every moment an adventure is rare, and we feel so grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s responsible, trustworthy, and truly exceptional with kids, Caitlin is the one!
