Hello, My name is Silvia. I’m 30 years old and recently moved back to Santa Barbara after completing my graduate program in Elementary Education at San Francisco State University. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development with a minor in Psychology, and I’m truly passionate about working with children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. I’ve worked in daycare settings during the summers and have extensive experience babysitting, which has helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, painting, playing soccer, reading, and playing the guitar—activities I love to share with kids to keep them engaged, creative, and active. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children!

I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. For infants and young children. I have two kid of my own. 10 and 9 years old. I watch my friends kids all the time and I watch my nephew. I was a nanny for a few summers in high school. I work for an Elementary School as a special education aid. I work with young children with disabilities and I absolutely love it. It’s a passion of mine. My son has autism and I’m trained in different behavior therapy such as ABA. I am responsible, fun, loving and extremely sensitive and Caring. Safety comes first. Kids are my passion and I connect with them so well. I enjoy working with kids so much. :) I am a single mom that wants to work hard and provide for my kids. I love being a mom so much!

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

Hi! My name is Olivia. I'm a grad school student. Have been working teaching kids and nannying for the past 2 years and did some babysitting growing up. I love being around kids.
