Find experienced child care providers in Ojai, CA

Hi! My name is Matea Settle. I’m 23 and based in Boise, Idaho. I’m in the process of having my location changed, but I am looking for positions in the Puget Sound area and Boise. I have six years of nannying experience, including three years as a career nanny. During the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of being a primary caregiver for a three-year-old girl with special needs who has an extremely rare genetic condition and required full support. I am CPR certified and have completed multiple childcare and babysitting courses. I’m comfortable assisting with house managing, transportation to activities or appointments, and maintaining consistent schedules and routines. I’m seeking a long-term position where I can bring my experience, organization, patience, and love for routine to support a family and help children thrive.

I am very passionate for children of all ages. Keeping a fun, clean and safe environment is my goal; especially to build trust with families. I have previously worked for Right Choice In-Home, as well as Channel Island Social Services (For special needs children). Contact information available on request. I just had my daughter in August and am hoping to find another family that be willing to let me bring her.

I have been a babysitter (more times than I can count), a nanny for several families in the Ventura area through the years, and I'm a mom to three of my own (17-26). So I have experience with every age of childhood. Since my children are grown I really miss the baby/toddler years and would love to be of help to you while yours are growing up. I'm interested in a part-time position.

Hi my name is Melanie I’ve been around little kids my whole life. I am the first child in my family which came with many responsibilities like caring and looking out for my baby cousins (girls/ boys), sisters and our family pets( cats/dogs/ hamsters)! Making sure there was always fun and safe activities ahead of us as well as a good snacks/meals. Now that a lot of my cousins and sisters are older I am very thankful to say that I was a big part of their childhood and was able to teach them so much. I have been a volunteer at my local church for 5 years over the weekends where I am a T.A and work with kids ages 5-11. I have also been an explorer with the Ventura County Sheriffs Department for 6 years now and we work with teenagers ages 13-21. We educate them in law enforcement as well as teaching them responsibility, team work, CPR/ first aid and most importantly how to have fun and make long lasting friends! I was a gymnast for 5 years and a volunteered coach for 2 years where I worked with toddlers over the weekends! This was something very heart warming to me because I was able to share and teach them and their parents a sport I am very passionate about! I have always had a love for kids that’s why one day I hope and pray to have kids of my own!

Hello!! Thank you for taking a look. My name is Jennie. I was born and raised in the U.K. We moved to the U.S.A when I was 18 and I lived and went to uni in Atlanta. I moved out to LA after graduation where I was a professional nanny for 11 years. I first started working with celebrity families and then had the opportunity to train with special needs children and their families in the behavioral health department at Cedars Sinai Hospital in LA. My husband and I left the city when we started our own family 12 years ago. I have many years experience with families and children with special needs. I am a trained ABA therapist. I have worked with multiples. I am trained to use nebulizers, epipens, trained in seizure first aid, (currently up to date on all CPR certifications and Covid protocols.) I've been a newborn care provider (my own included), and been part of early child development and infant intervention programs within centers, home programs and schools. I've worked at summer camps. I have French family and speak french. My husband is from Argentina so I speak some Spanish, and there is certainly bit of a language jumble going on at family get togethers😊. I think my strength is having patience and finding joy, fun and delight in the little things children do, so I love my job! It could be seeing a 10 year old feeling awesome because they crushed me at Monopoly, a 5 year old 300% involved in building a marble roller coaster, and as a mom, I totally appreciate the quiet peace of little infant snores. I like to swim, bike ride, enjoy sports and arts and crafts. I am used to travelling with families and finding ways to occupy and enrich the childrens' hours without using screens, while in a limited environment e.g. hotel room. My undergraduate degree was in Theater and I love to bring that creativity and humor to my work. I have spent many overnights with infants and children. Worked for a few years within the public school system. I am trained in RIE and infant care. We have recently returned to Roanoke to be nearer to my elderly parents, and I looking for work within the Roanoke area. I have references here and in California. Please feel free to reach out. Have a beautiful day. 🙏 Thank you. Jennie
