Booked by 116 families in Goleta, CA

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!

Silvia was wonderful with our 2 year old daughter! She was punctual, professional, and our daughter really enjoyed playing with her. She was even able to get our nap-refusing toddler successfully down for a nap. Will definitely be hiring her again!

After graduating college with a degree in early childhood education, I became an ABA therapist and have been working with children with special needs for the past four years.

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. Very adventurous, love playing games, and enjoy teaching. I have a family I work with regularly and am looking to take on some occasional babysitting or some more regular hours. Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos!

Olivia is amazing! She’s so reliable, on time, and is so great with my baby. She’s attentive, professional, and all smiles while babysitting. Would definitely recommend Olivia and I’m planning on booking her again!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
