A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Triniti, and I'm 23 years old, turning 24 next month. I recently moved to Santa Barbara from San Luis Obispo. I absolutely love being outdoors – whether it's hiking, skating, having picnics at the park, swimming, dancing, or just playing in general, I'm always up for an adventure.

I've primarily worked for family and friends, but I've also had the pleasure of working for two other families outside of that circle.

If you were to ask my best friend to describe me, they'd say I'm nurturing, open-minded, giving, efficient, and always aware of the needs of those around me. I'm eager to bring my enthusiasm and positive energy to your home and help create a fun, safe, and nurturing space for your children.

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Chanel! During the school year, I work in Special Education with children on the Autism Spectrum. I’ve had most experience in my career working with kids and have also lead youth camps in the past. Growing up, I would serve as a live-in nanny and watch my older siblings’ kids for free. I’ve not yet done this professionally, but trust me when I say I LOVE kids! In my free time, I enjoy lots of yoga and reading. I am patient, very kind, and have experience in making babysitting a fun-loving time for everyone. I’d love to spend time with your little one(s)! Please feel free to reach out to me :)

A little bit about me

Hello! I am relocating to the Santa Barbra area this fall and am looking to nanny for a wonderful family. I am from the Bay Area(San Jose) and graduated from San Francisco State University with the honor of magna cum laude in Microbiology. During college I had the pleasure of nannying a young boy from 8 months to 4 years of age. Although I am no
longer his nanny, I am still very much a part of his life( many Disney trips to prove this ;) ). I consider myself a very loyal person especially to those I care for. From a young age I’ve loved children and was constantly doting on my younger siblings/cousins. I am also someone who likes to keep busy and be as helpful as I can so I have no problem cleaning and running errands.
As for my availability: In my bio I put weekdays from 7am-5pm, but for the right family these hours can be flexible :)
