Hi, my name is Grace! I am currently a student at UCSB! I offer services in child care, household services, and pet care. I love working with children and animals, and I have been working in childcare for almost 6 years. I have worked with kids of all ages, ranging from 0-13 years old. I have experience with putting kids to bed, crafts, driving kids to and from school, making dinner, cleaning the house, and more! I am also BLS certified and medically trained. Additionally, I have 4 years of experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, and birds. I can dog walk, feed animals, and clean up after them. I look forward to creating a safe and nurturing environment for your child to grow.
“Probably the best sitter we have ever had.”
Hi! My name is Nina, and I’m a responsible, patient, and energetic college student with experience working with children through tutoring, babysitting, and helping families with daily routines. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids, whether that means helping with homework, playing games, preparing simple meals or keeping them on schedule. I’m reliable and comfortable communicating with parents about expectations, routines and any needs their children may have. I have experience tutoring kids in English and math, so I’m happy to help with schoolwork as well. I am also fluent in french. I’m comfortable with pets and light household tasks when needed. I would love the opportunity to support a family and make their day-to-day life easier while making sure their children feel cared for and safe.
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!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
