Find nannies in Goleta, CA

I am an experienced babysitter and I have been sitting for about 5 years now! I love to go on adventures in nature and learn new things! I also speak French fluently. I have a car and a clean driving record.

Hello, my name is Nataly I am twenty four years old and I am a student currently attending UC Berkeley studying Anthropology. During the summer I would love to help my community by helping parents care for their children. My background as an eldest daughter in a close-knit community has instilled a natural nurturing spirit. I'm adept at caring for children aged 4 months to 16 years, as well as support for seniors, demonstrated through my experience with my grandmother. My responsibility have included driving to/from appointments and school, tutoring, household assistance, cooking, cleaning and errand runner. I offer homework help, fun adventures, light housekeeping, and engaging playtime.

I graduated from Westmont college in 2025 with a degree in psychology and theater. I have years of experience working with kids, including teaching middle school, one on one ABA therapy for children on the autism spectrum, and extensive childcare experience. My specialty is creativity and play. My background in psychology helps me understand emotional regulation, sensory needs, and individualized support strategies. I learned in my time in ABA that structure and rigidity has a place, but I prefer to have more of a genuine relationship with my kiddos. I like to play and get on their level, but know how to maintain respect as well. I’m trained in positive reinforcement and have experience navigating meltdowns and transitions calmly and supportively. I have developed and worked on theater festivals and productions with kids and love using theater, art, and storytelling as tools for connection, emotional expression, and learning through play. You can find me usually spending a lot of time training and entertaining my 2 year old Aussie-doodle with daily walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park!
