Maggie S., Nanny in Santa Barbara, CA 93101 with 7 years of paid experience

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 :)

Caroline B., Nanny in Santa Barbara, CA 93101 with 7 years of paid experience

I'm Caroline. I'm 21 years old, and am a second year at UC Santa Barbara. I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and have nannied for over a year and a half. I love babysitting, because I love working with kids. My mom is a kindergarten teacher, and I've always enjoyed getting to go into her classroom and interact with all the students. I like to make sure the kids are having fun and getting to be their authentic selves. I'm CPR and first aid certified, and I also have a 200 hour vinyasa power training certification (yoga instructor). I'm centered around wellness, and making sure that kids emotional and safety needs are being taken care of.

Natalia T., Nanny in Santa Barbara, CA 93101 with 6 years of paid experience

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! :)
