Find a babysitter in Santa Barbara, CA

Hello! My name is Audrey and I’m a current junior at UCSB. I am an environmental studies major and I’m hoping to eventually get my teaching credentials. I have been working with children since I was 16 working as a camp counselor and choreographer for children’s theatre (ages 5-14). I have also worked for Goleta Unified School District an after school leader with kids in TK-6th! I can manage a class room of 20 students, drive, cook, clean, and run errands! When I’m back home I take care of my grandpa, handle his medication, take him to a from appointments, and even play poker (and lose) with him. I love animals and the environment and more than happy to work for a family with an array of pets and plants!

Background: I have taught in preschool settings all around the LA/Ventura area for about 9 years now with primarily the 2-5 age range. My background is in child development which I’ve studied in college. I got into the field when I interned at a local family resource center where I organized lesson plans and play groups for infants and toddlers. I consider myself a lifelong learner and study the Reggio Emilia approach and RIE philosophy with a passion as it tends to inspire my provocations. I was a full time teacher at a child development center in Ventura, California - its focus was on nature-based learning, also known as the outdoor classroom approach. I stepped away from that career path in early June 2026 to explore creative paths. Please note I do have some previous full/part-time nannying experience (with infants/toddlers). About Me: I like to go by Andi and I enjoy attempting latte art at home, going to pottery class, lap swimming, walking my dog wherever there’s an ocean view, and baking! I speak fluent English and Spanish Fine Print: •4 hour minimum per booking •Short Notice Cancellation Fee: 50% of booking total if cancelled within 24hrs of start time. •If anyone in your household has been sick within 72 hours of booking, please cancel said booking. I do not consent to working with sick children. I work with multiple families, including infants, and I want to ensure the health and well-being of everyone involved.
