*I am fully vaccinated and boosted.* - I do not mind working at late hours into the night and for you to extend your hours if needed. - I have been with UrbanSitter for 9 years and have babysat for children ranging from infant to 10 years old. I used to also volunteer at a child care, consecutively for 4 years, over the summer where I looked after 5-7 children at a time and helped with play and reading time, arts & crafts, snack and lunchtime, and naptime; these children's ages ranged from 6 months to 4 years. - I enjoy caring for children and engaging with them through reading, baking and going on outings such as the park or beach. I also do not mind having animals in the home while I am babysitting. POLICIES: -RATES: I negotiate my rates based on the expectations and requirements of the job. My rate stays the same whether or not the child(ren) is/are sleeping or awake. -MINIMUM: I have a three-hour minimum for bookings. This can be flexible for certain situations. -EARLY RETURNS: I plan and budget around the number of hours booked so I do request to be paid the full amount even if you may arrive early. -LATE RETURNS: I always try and be flexible with parents on timing, especially with date night bookings. If you need any extra time please let me know beforehand.

Hi! I’m Bailey 😊 I’m a UCSB alum (BS in Psychological and Brain Sciences), EMT certified, and currently in registered nursing school. I have 8+ years of experience caring for children of all ages. I worked at the UCSB Child Care Center throughout my undergraduate years, including in the infant and toddler rooms where I regularly cared for multiple children at once. I also previously worked in Labor & Delivery as an OB/Surgical Tech, where I assisted in deliveries and C-sections and gained strong exposure to newborn care and hospital safety. I’ve worked as a paraeducator supporting children with special needs and currently work as a substitute teacher (TK–12 + SPED), so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of ages and needs. I’m warm, reliable, and truly love caring for kids—it’s a big reason I’m pursuing nursing. I enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I have my own car, am CPR/First Aid certified, vaccinated, and happy to provide references. I’m also very comfortable with pets! I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!
