I just relocated from San Francisco where I lived for 10 years and would love to meet new families whom I can get to know and be available for on an ongoing basis. I work as a photographer and visual artist and supplement my income as a part time childcare provider. Children have always been around in my life. Growing up in Santa Barbara, I was the eldest of my parent’s friend’s children so, naturally, I began babysitting at an early age. In high school I was involved with dance programs for all ages and worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor through my early college years. In the past decade I have been babysitting and nannying for many families in San Francisco whom I met both through UrbanSitter and word of mouth recommendations in various parent circles. I have much experience working with infants, toddlers, and on up in age. I was the primary babysitter and, at times, pt-ft nanny for two families over the past 8 years. I grew close with them and saw both families through two pregnancies each and was a constant throughout the growing and learning of each of their children (one family with four kids and the other with three). I also spent one year working as a full-time nanny for a young boy beginning at 11mo through 26mo. In addition to all that, I have worked with many other families and single parents as a fill-in/part-time/short-term/ longer-term/one-off care taker for many ages. As I began to work with younger children regularly in SF, I sought to expand my knowlege and understanding of development in children 0-5yrs old by attended seminars focused on sleep training, nutrition, behavior, and productive disciplin methods, as well as my own research. They call me The Baby Whisperer. At one point, I considered training as a doula, but decided to remain focused on my art. Current on all vaccinations CA driver's license and clean driving record. I drive a truck these days so I am unable to use my car to transport children. 4hr minimum per booking Short notice cancellation fee: 50% of booking if cancelled within 72hrs of start time; 100% of booking if cancelled within 48hrs of start time

I come from an art background and have an M.A. in art & mythology.

I have lived in the southern european countries and speak French and Italian fluently and some Spanish. I love working with children and animals. As well as the day to day care of a household, I enjoy supporting and nurturing children's naturally creative and inquisitive thinking. My fees are sliding scale...

I’m Keira! I’m currently a sophomore at Santa Barbara City College, working toward an associate’s degree for transfer with a major in Administration of Justice. I have over three years of hands-on childcare experience, including babysitting, camp counseling, and teaching summer courses focused on arts and science. I’ve had the opportunity to work with children ranging from 2 to 13 years old, and I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with each child through a nurturing, creative, and engaging approach. I also have experience teaching science, nature, sports, theater and art classes. I am passionate about helping cultivate kid’s interests whether that be exploring the outdoors, sports, or video games, I’m happy to help! I’m also happy to support your household in other ways, such as cleaning, meal prep, running errands, pickups/drop-offs, and pet care. I’m organized, reliable, and passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where your children can thrive. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your routine

I'm a registered nurse with a degree recognized in the U. S. and experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to older kids. I've worked in pediatric hospitals, maternity wards, preschools, and as a nanny with long-term families. I also have experience with children who are sick or have conditions. I'm comfortable handling daily routines like meals, bath time, and overall health care, always respecting each family's values and preferences. Right now, I'm looking for a new opportunity as a nanny where I can bring my experience, responsibility, and genuine care for children.
