Hi - My name is Jaidyn and I am a recent UCSB graduate. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love children and animals and have over 10 years of experience watching children of all ages (newborns to preteens). I am the oldest of five girls, which has given me a lot of patience in caring for children. I value hands on learning and quality time over technology or busy work. I have over 5 years of experience as a tutor ages K-12. My past responsibilities have included errand running, sports/school pick up & drop off, enrichment time, and fun things like personal cheer lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been living with my grandpa and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great pickleball partner!)

Reece $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Reece, and I am available for babysitting, childcare, transportation, and summer nanny positions before I leave for Southern Methodist University (SMU) this fall. I recently graduated from Cathedral Catholic High School with a 4.2 GPA and have spent much of my high school career working with children of all ages in leadership, mentoring, camp, and volunteer roles. I am CPR, First Aid, and Lifeguard certified, and safety is always my top priority. Last summer, I served as a Junior Counselor at Gold Arrow Camp, where I completed leadership training, supervised children ages 7–8, led activities, managed conflicts, and ensured campers felt safe, included, and engaged. I have also worked as a counselor at Helen Woodward Critter Camp and volunteered extensively through the Miracle League of San Diego, helping children and adults with special needs participate in sports and recreational activities. In addition, I have served as a mentor through Cathedral Catholic’s Options Program, assisting students with physical and developmental disabilities both academically and socially. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, adaptability, and how to connect with children of different ages and personalities. Outside of childcare, I have been a varsity dance team captain, competitive dancer, and active community volunteer. I love staying active and enjoy playing games, doing crafts, swimming, spending time outdoors, and helping kids have fun while staying safe and engaged. I have reliable transportation and drive a safe Audi Q5, making me available for camp drop-offs, activity transportation, errands, and other family needs. I am dependable, energetic, and genuinely enjoy working with children. References are available upon request, and I would love the opportunity to support your family this summer!
