Meet college nannies and sitters from Santa Barbara City College

Aloha! Children are a passion of mine. I find their curiosity and ability to live in the moment very amusing. Though I have none of my own yet.. I have several nieces, nephews, and god-children that I adore. I was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where adventuring in nature was the way of life. After high school graduation I drove across the country to land in Santa Barbara, California to attend college. There I worked as a business manager for a Sailing Cruise operation, where I met my fiancé. In 2016 we left SB to manage luxury yachts as a Captain/Stew couple and traveled the world. In March 2022 we left the yachting industry to be land based and settle down here on Kauai and we love it! My childcare background starts at a young age where my mom owned a Day Care center next to our grade school. I would help with various tasks and had a natural ability for caregiving. In middle school I’d assist my mom with a summer youth program for kids with disabilities. In high school I was a tutor. And in Santa Barbara I was a nanny for a child from 7 months old to 8 years old. I love teaching and sharing knowledge with others. I’m professional yet personable and can help in several ways. I look forward to meeting your family.

I am an experienced babysitter and I have been sitting for about 5 years now! I love to go on adventures in nature and learn new things! I also speak French fluently. I have a car and a clean driving record.

I have a deep passion for working with children and believe it's crucial to provide a safe and nurturing space where they can play, create, and have fun. My journey in childcare began at 17 when I started babysitting three energetic boys, and it sparked a love that has only grown over the years. With fiveyears of experience as a childcare provider, I’ve found immense joy in these roles—it's never felt like work to me. In 2023, I graduated from the SBCC Culinary Arts Academy, allowing me to offer nutritious meals and engage kids in fun, safe kitchen activities. I have a valid driver’s license and my own car, so I can easily provide transportation when needed. Additionally, I have extensive experience in house sitting, pet sitting and caring for animals with special needs. I’m also a great cleaner and organizer, so I’m happy to help with any household tasks if needed. I look forward to creating a positive and enriching environment for your children!

Hi parents! 😊 My name is Hannah and I am looking for some babysitting jobs! I’m 21 and have experience caring for children aged 6 months to 14 years, including my young nephews and family friends’ children. I love integrating art into daily routines, whether through painting, drawing, or simple craft projects, and I’m eager to introduce kids to creative outlets. I also believe in the importance of physical activity and often engage children in fun outdoor activities like sports or nature walks. I enjoy cooking and am happy to prepare meals or snacks, including learning any family recipes to make mealtime enjoyable. 🌸 In addition to my practical experience, I’ve taken two early childhood education classes focused on child development. This coursework has given me valuable insights into age-appropriate activities and strategies to support each child’s growth and learning. While I am not currently CPR certified, I am very open to obtaining certification to ensure the highest level of safety and confidence for families I work with. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive to the needs of both children and pets. I am also committed to ongoing learning and improvement, and I’m always eager to bring a positive and engaging attitude to every caregiving opportunity. 🧘🏼‍♀️ If you or someone you know needs any help (even just for a night out or errands), feel free to message me! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available to help throughout the week and on weekends. 💬👶💕 Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏼

I have also been a caregiver/babysitter for two of my four grandchildren as a regular job, on Bainbridge Island and have taken care of all my grandchildren throughout their lives on many different occasions. I have also been a caregiver for the elderly for the past 6 years for a company that just closed its doors, unfortunately. I have two cats and have had cats all my life. They love me and I love them.
