Nina $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nina, and I’m a responsible, patient, and energetic college student with experience working with children through tutoring, babysitting, and helping families with daily routines. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids, whether that means helping with homework, playing games, preparing simple meals or keeping them on schedule. I’m reliable and comfortable communicating with parents about expectations, routines and any needs their children may have. I have experience tutoring kids in English and math, so I’m happy to help with schoolwork as well. I am also fluent in french. I’m comfortable with pets and light household tasks when needed. I would love the opportunity to support a family and make their day-to-day life easier while making sure their children feel cared for and safe.

Francesca 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a 44-year-old mother of twin 17-year-old boys and come from a close-knit family of four siblings. I was born and raised here in beautiful Santa Barbara and am bilingual in English and Italian. I began babysitting at the age of 12 and have always had a deep love for caring for children. I truly believe children are amazing, and I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can grow, learn, and feel supported. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—including twins and triplets. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, games, outdoor adventures, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication support when needed, and helping children maintain healthy routines through play and movement. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I also have experience caring for elders, persons with physical and mental health challenges/disabilities, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I am currently employed as a Mental Health Case Manager in a Crisis Stabilization Unit, where I provide calm, compassionate, and detail-oriented care—skills I bring into every babysitting role. Please note, I am unfortunately allergic to cats. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and I look forward to supporting families by providing dependable and loving childcare. I look forward to working with you soon!

Francesca was great with my 5 year! He invited her to be part of our family after the first day. :-) She was professional and flexible. She was playful and kept up with my kiddos endless energy. He was very happy to hang out with her. We will definitely look her up next time we are in town and need care.

Hello, my name is Sienna and I’m 19 years old. I was raised on the Central Coast and graduated from Righetti High School. I am currently in my second year at Allan Hancock College, where I am continuing to pursue my education. My job experience includes two years at In-N-Out, where I developed strong teamwork and communication, as well as seasonal work as a Park Ranger with Santa Barbara County, which strengthened my sense of responsibility and community engagement. Coming from a large family, I have also gained valuable experience in caregiving and leadership by looking after my younger brother and many of my cousins.

Booked by 83 families in Solvang, CA

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 esteemed 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.

Shianne was prompt and the kids enjoyed having her!
