Booked by 3 families in Isla Vista, CA

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.”

Nina $22 per hour for 1 child

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 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!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Isla Vista, 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 ❤️☺️
