Find infant babysitters in Summerland, CA

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 - that focused on nature-based learning, also known as the outdoor classroom approach. I stepped away from that career path in early June 2026. I also have some previous full/part time nannying experience (with infants/toddlers). About Me: I enjoy going to coffee shops, hitting the gym, lap swimming, walking my dog, baking and traveling to tropical places! 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.

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! I’m a 44-year-old mother of twin 17-year-old boys and come from a close-knit family of four siblings. I was born and raised here in beautiful Santa Barbara and am bilingual in English and Italian. I began babysitting at the age of 12 and have always had a deep love for caring for children. I truly believe children are amazing, and I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can grow, learn, and feel supported. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—including twins and triplets. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, games, outdoor adventures, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication support when needed, and helping children maintain healthy routines through play and movement. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I also have experience caring for elders, persons with physical and mental health challenges/disabilities, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I am currently employed as a Mental Health Case Manager in a Crisis Stabilization Unit, where I provide calm, compassionate, and detail-oriented care—skills I bring into every babysitting role. Please note, I am unfortunately allergic to cats. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and I look forward to supporting families by providing dependable and loving childcare. I look forward to working with you soon!
