Hi! My name is Sheena and I can assure you my qualifications, personality, and attention to detail will make the pay worth your while. My experience ranges from all over. It began when I started volunteering at my church with the childcare center! I knew I had a passion and decided to go to college for early childhood education. I finished my schooling in 2022 and wanted to explore a teaching career. I then worked in a preschool for almost a year and a half. I became CPR/First Aid certified there and still am! I had my own T-K classroom with 24 children and loved finding fun ways to lead them to learn. This included social studies, math, science, writing, language/literacy, dramatic play, as well as social and emotional in my daily goals. When attendance was low I would “float” to different classes and spend time with all ages, giving me experience with the entire school that was varying from ages 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4. The director of the school would love to give me a great reference. I have been told I have a calming presence yet spunky character so it works out great for children and I to bond! Additionally, I have a younger sister with extreme allergies and a mom with disabilities so I can understand special circumstances and will prioritize your needs and directions with the utmost respect. I want you to know that I was raised “treat others the way you want to be treated“. I will leave an area looking better than I found it, ask questions so I get things done right, and value your family and home as if it was my own.

Hi! My name is Melodie, and I bring a warm, reliable, and well-rounded approach to caregiving. I’ve been babysitting off and on since high school, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families in a wide range of settings—from casual date nights to consistent weekly care. Between 2021 and 2023, I provided regular childcare for a college head coach’s family, where I was trusted to handle everything from after-school routines and bedtime to meal prep and light tidying. More recently, I’ve been working with a wonderful family caring for two young siblings. I’ve also taken formal child development courses and hold an active CPR and First Aid certification. Your child’s safety and emotional well-being are my top priorities, and I pride myself on creating a calm, fun, and structured environment. Whether it’s imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or reinforcing routines, I aim to support not just the kids but the whole family. In addition to childcare, I’m also experienced in household support. I’ve run my own household and have been employed to help organize others’, so I naturally maintain a clean and tidy space. I enjoy cooking and can prepare simple, healthy meals for children and families as needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and have grown up around pets my whole life. I currently have two of my own and am confident in handling pet care alongside childcare—including walks, feeding, and lots of love. Transportation is never a problem. I have a perfect driving record and a safe, well-maintained vehicle. I understand how important punctuality and reliability are when it comes to caregiving, and I always strive to go above and beyond. Whether you need dependable babysitting, pet care, help keeping your household running smoothly—or all three—I’d love to be a part of your support system. I genuinely care about the families I work with and value building lasting, respectful relationships. Looking forward to connecting!
“Great sitter. Punctual, professional and sweet with our children! She even made them dinner and cleaned up the kitchen afterwards! We will definitely book her again!”
Hello! My name is Crystal I am 20 years old and I'm currently in college with hopes of becoming a teacher and work at an elementary school. I am offering childcare, petcare and household care. I have done babysitting since I was 16, with mostly toddlers or preschoolers but I have a bit of experience with infants (8 months of experience). I have driven to/from daycare to trips to the park, and crafts. I can also work with cleaning up the house, running errands and some light cooking. I have both cats and dogs, and am currently training my dog. I have done dog walking, dog traning, and dog baths.
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!)
Hello Families! A little about me is that I grew up taking care of all of my 4 siblings make sure they were fed and taken care of while also making sure the house is being taken care of too, I learned that I loved to clean. When I turned 18 I applied for Americorps and that is where I got to work with kids in preschool and school age kids and I even worked with middle school kids as well! And that is where I worked for about three years gaining more experience everyday working with all types of different kids!
