Booked by 1 family in Summerland, CA

I’m a happy, fun-loving, detail oriented mom of 3 teenagers. I own a children’s resale boutique in town and one of the things I like best about it is interacting with the kids and their families! I work in my shop only part time and now that my kids are older I’ve found I have extra time and love to give to families who need a little extra help or a date night or just a break! I love animals and so pets in the home are a bonus for me. I’m also very happy to help with meal prep or tidying up if I’m at your home. I love the park and the beach and am always willing to take kids for walks or on outings or even help with homework. I love board games and drawing or coloring and playing dolls or building legos or any imagination games kids enjoy. I’m fit so I can keep up with them on bikes or scooters or racing around outside! I truly enjoy being silly with kids of all ages and enjoy having fun and engaging with them at their level. Newborns to teens… I love all the stages. I was a full time nanny before and during my tenure at UCSB and started babysitting as soon as I could as a young girl. I think it’s because I have a lot of love to give and my family of origin is very small so I have enjoyed being part of the families that I work with. After UCSB I worked in both educational and residential facilities with severely emotionally disturbed teenagers and learned so much about behavior management and caring for children who need extra support. That was truly an educational experience for me and has positively impacted my relationships with children and as a parent myself. What else? I’m punctual, thoughtful, I have a strong work ethic and I do what I commit to doing. I have a positive outlook on life and that shows in all I do! Let me know if you think I could be of help to you and your family ❤️☺️

Elizabed $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Liz, and I have over three years of experience caring for children from infants to 8 years old. I've worked with multiple families, including children with autism, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where every child feels comfortable and cared for. I'm patient, dependable, and love keeping kids engaged through crafts, outdoor play, reading, educational activities, and imaginative games. I'm also happy to help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, homework, and maintaining daily routines. I speak both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with a variety of families. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, and I always strive to provide reliable, compassionate care while building positive relationships with both parents and kids. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and help your little ones learn, grow, and have fun!

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. I will also be transparent about my own health status. •All hours booked are considered “guaranteed hours” in terms of pay, even if I am relieved early or for any other reason. •Cash, Zelle and Venmo preferred! 😊

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
