A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Keira!
I’m currently a sophomore at Santa Barbara City College, working toward an associate’s degree for transfer with a major in Administration of Justice. I have nearly three years of hands-on childcare experience, including babysitting, camp counseling, and teaching summer courses focused on arts and science.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with children ranging from 2 to 13 years old, and I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with each child through a nurturing, creative, and engaging approach. My experience has given me the skills to encourage kids to explore their curiosity through crafts, interactive learning, and educational play.
I’m also happy to support your household in other ways, such as cleaning, meal prep, running errands, pickups/drop-offs, and pet care. I’m organized, reliable, and passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where your children can thrive.
I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your routine!

A little bit about me

With years of hands-on experience caring for children, I bring both warmth and expertise to every family I work with. Growing up as the oldest of nine siblings, I learned early on how to juggle the needs of multiple children, from newborns to teens. In addition, my professional background in child welfare has given me extensive training in child safety, development, and emotional well-being.

I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and structured environment where children can thrive. Whether it’s preparing nutritious meals, engaging in fun and educational activities, or providing gentle guidance, I prioritize a child’s well-being at every step. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping to help keep your home running smoothly.

If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and caring nanny, I’d love to connect!
