Find nannies in Lompoc, CA

I offer years of experience with children, seniors and pet sitting. I am a mother of 5 children, have current and verifiable references for senior care and housecleaning services.

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

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!

HI there, For my childcare experience, I was lead preschool teacher at the Montecito YMCA in 2021 for that year. My classroom had around 10-13 children ages 3-4 year olds, and in the afternoon I helped manage the entire school around 34 children :) I had been assisted teacher there in 2018 for about 6 months, before moving onto marketing. Covid layoffs, and then went back to teaching in 2021. I continue to babysit occasionally for families in Santa Barbara now. I have been a member of Urbansitter since I was going to school at the University of San Francisco and worked for many families there. For the last four years 2[removed], I was working with a Forbes Travel Guide and Virtuoso agency in the marketing dept. My position combined the technical and creative skills of marketing and design with front-of-house representation at trade shows and other industry events. I managed complex b2b and b2c accounts for top clients like Saks Fifth Avenue, Regent Seven Sea Cruises, Carnival Corp & many more. My writing and graphic design has been published in Santa Barbara Magazine, Montecito Journal and beyond. My success thus far stems from my natural ability for language and connection. I also specialize in marketing for mission driven companies and I am passionate about giving back to the community to which I was born. I serve on the Board of Directors for Friendship Center in Montecito, California - an adult day service, the only privately funded model like it in the country! My work with them includes elevating their messaging, branding, keynote speaking, curating luxury travel auction items, and networking at chamber of commerce events and beyond.
