Find experienced nannies in Goleta, CA

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 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.

Hi there! My name is Miranda, Im 21 years old. I am a very loving person. I am very energetic and love a good laugh! I had nannies when I was little, so now I know the importance of being part of a kids life!✨

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.

Hello! I graduated from westmont college in 2023 with my bachelor’s in kinesiology, but ended up teaching Kindergarten the 2023-2024 school year and absolutely fell in love with it. I am currently working on my masters in early childhood education with hopes of running a preschool/home based kindergarten someday, so I am taking the year off teaching and looking for a 30-40 hour per week position. I have been nannying & coaching since I was a teenager and have experience with ages 0-12. I have a reliable car and am able to help with errands/ transporting the kiddos around as needed. I am very comfortable in the kitchen so meal prep and meal time are no problem. I love spending time outside, making crafts, and finding fun ways to get kids excited about learning and exploring. If you think we’d be a good match please feel free to reach out and I would love to meet you and your family! (my location has me in california, but i do live in colorado springs!)

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 :)

Hello All, A little about me: I have lived in Santa Barbara for the last four years. I’m a Cal Poly Alumni. The last two years, I’ve worked as an EMT in the Santa Barbara and Ventura area. I am continuing my education so I’m returning to my favorite job; caring for children of all ages. Experience: I was a part-time sitter during college for over a dozen families and enjoyed working with all of them. I have also cared for friends’ and family members’ children since the age of 10. My AHA BLS CPR certification is up to date and have successfully preformed CPR multiple times. Availability: I am open to working any time of day and any number of hours.

I love working with children and merely just being in the same environment as them because I deeply enjoy watching them flourish in every aspect. Seeing their development through experience, knowledge, and emotions is very intriguing to me and I would love any and every opportunity to be involved in a child’s growth. One day I hope to work with children as an occupation, but until then I’d love to get the opportunity to be surrounded with as many different kiddos as possible, as I find each and every one of their personalities to be interesting! A little bit about some experience I’ve had is: a lifeguard/swim instructor teaching ages 3-15 years (attained CPR, and lifeguard certification), volunteer child care provider ages 2-4years, and currently working as a volunteer tutor with the education+ program. I am available Monday through Friday in the early mornings, Wednesdays-Fridays from 1pm-9pm, along with Weekends which I’m free to sit at any time. Feel free to reach out or send a message if you have any questions about times I might be able to sit! :)
