$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Goleta, CA

Hi. I am a 52-year-old mother of two young adults who are happy and healthy. I moved to Santa Barbara right before the pandemic to help homeschool my sister’s 3 children as she and her husband were essential workers. I decided to go back to school after having a career as an executive and personal assistant, to C- level executives for many years. I love children and since I’ve been nannying , I’ve had so much fun being around the childrens’ delightful and exciting outlooks on life. I’m available most days except for a couple standing commitments. I'd love to chat with you. Thank you for your consideration, Mia. Qualifications & Certifications ● CPR & First Aid Certified ● Reliable vehicle and clean driving record ● Vaccinated/Booster for Covid | up to date on all others

She’s sweet and very professional! Would highly recommend!

Cecilia $30 per hour for 1 child

I'm an honest, ambitious, and adaptable person. I'm passionate about working with children because it's a highly fulfilling career that allows me to impart valuable life lessons and foster their growth. I also build strong, lasting bonds with the children I work with. I'm seeking a job that offers opportunities for professional development and the chance to make a positive impact on society. I began working with children in my late teens and have since accumulated over a decade of experience working with children of all ages. I'm CPR certified and have been a dedicated teacher at Learningden Preschool for 3.5 years. In my free time, I enjoy reading the Holy Bible, books based on true life stories, and watching African movies based on true stories. I'm known for my honesty, likability, and positive attitude. My skills include patience, effective communication, and decision-making abilities. I believe that my skills and experience make me an excellent candidate for this position. I'm excited about the prospect of working with you and your family. I'm confident that your children will be delighted to have me as their sitter. Limes = Smile.

Dakota $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Dakota!! I’m a ucsb student-athlete who is passionate about working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them to grow and have fun. Balancing academics and athletics has taught me responsibility, patience, leadership, and strong communication skills, all of which I bring into babysitting and caregiving.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
