Hello parents! My name is Soquel, and I’m a fourth-year student at UC Santa Barbara, majoring in Sociology with a minor in Applied Psychology. I absolutely love working with kids, and being a sitter has always been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. I genuinely enjoy supporting children as they learn, grow, and explore their world, as every child has their own personality and pace, and I love creating a fun, nurturing, and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and confident. Helping families feel at ease while their children are cared for is something I take very seriously and find so fulfilling. I began babysitting as a freshman in high school and have worked with children ranging from 6 months to 13 years old. Before that, I worked at my former daycare, assisting with lunchtime and play supervision, diaper changes, pre-K curriculum activities, and providing general Read more support wherever needed. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and siblings of different ages, and I’m very familiar with balancing routines, homework help, and fun activities. In addition, I have worked with the YMCA for several years as an after school program assistant, assistant athletic director, and most recently, a lead camp counselor for their summer program. I am comfortable with diapering, bottle feeding, bedtime routines, homework help, and planning age-appropriate activities. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and always prioritize safety and communication. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, caring, and engaging childcare. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
