A little bit about me

Hi families! I’m Alexandra, an experienced childcare professional with 10+ years of experience caring for newborns through teens. My background includes private nannying, preschool and elementary education, after-school care, and date-night/event childcare.
I’m CPR/First Aid trained with volunteer first-responder experience, and I prioritize safety, patience, and dependable care. I love outdoor activities, arts and crafts, reading, homework help, and creating a calm, fun environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I’m also a strong swimmer, nonsmoker, experienced driver, pet-friendly, and happy to help with meals, school pickup, bedtime routines, transportation, and light child-related household tasks.

Julia R. - Seeking Work in Santa Barbara

Babysitter Available in Santa Barbara, CA: Julia R.

Hi! I’m an adventurous, warm, and playful person who believes childhood should be full of curiosity, creativity, connection, and a little bit of magic.

My background is a little unconventional! I’m a freediving instructor, breathwork facilitator, and international retreat and adventure trip leader. I’ve spent years teaching, guiding groups, and creating meaningful experiences for people from all walks of life.

I’m happiest outdoors, exploring tide pools, making art, dancing, getting curious about the natural world, and turning everyday moments into little adventures. I love encouraging independence, emotional awareness, kindness, and a healthy sense of wonder.

I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, responsible, adaptable, and comfortable navigating unexpected situations with a calm, grounded approach.

I’m currently based in the Santa Barbara area and looking to connect with a wonderful family who values creativity, open communication, and plenty of outdoor play.
Keila L. - Seeking Work in Santa Barbara

Hi! My name is Keila, I’m a student at SBCC studying to become a nurse! I was a volunteer teachers assistant at an elementary school, in the preschool department for two years and absolutely loved it. I love getting to know kids’ different personalities, having fun together, and making memories they’ll look back on. I want to be someone the kids genuinely enjoy spending time with while also being caring, responsible, and someone their parents can fully trust. My goal is to create a fun, loving environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves, while always respecting the parents’ rules and making their children my top priority. 💗

Chloe S. - Seeking Work in Santa Barbara

Part-Time Nanny Available in Santa Barbara, CA: Chloe S.

Hi! My name is Chloe and I am a year post grad from my Bachelor’s at UofSc. I’m moving down to California to work as a pottery teacher, as well as work on my own pottery business. I am looking to nanny part time to help pay the bills! I have experience teaching art to kids 8 and up, have babysat for a family with a 7 year old and 14 year old, and have also taught horse back riding lessons to kids aged 6 and up for many years. I also worked as a whitewater guide during the summers at college, and took kids camps that were 8 and up, and for that job I have a current Wilderness First Responder certification that includes CPR, and advanced first aid. I feel extremely comfortable and confident when it comes to taking care of kids, and I do really enjoy hanging out with them! Doing outdoor activities with kids is by far my favorite, with doing art projects being a close second.

Alexandra S. - Seeking Work in Santa Barbara

Part-Time Nanny Available in Santa Barbara, CA: Alexandra S.

Hello! My passion throughout my life has been with children. I grew up helping with the neighborhood children and the childcare at my church. As soon as I turned 13 years old, I was babysitting around the neighborhood and the rest is history. During my time at SBCC, I was a manger at Natural Cafe and later became a Montessori Teacher's Assistant in Goleta. When I got into CSUN, I moved to Northridge and continued to be a caretaker for families, working with children ages 1-16 years old. After I got my bachelor degree in Deaf Studies (I am fluent in American Sign Language), I was a preschool teacher for 6 years at a Montessori in Calabasas. During this time I was also a travel nanny in the summer for some of the families at the school. Now I am back home in Santa Barbara and looking forward to helping families any way I can! I am happy to cook, clean, do laundry, tutor, entertain, take care of pets, make lunches for the next day, etc. I am excited to connect with you!

Amanda C. - Seeking Work in Santa Barbara

Babysitter Available in Santa Barbara, CA: Amanda C.

Hi! My name is Amanda Christian, and I’m a second-year student at UCSB. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 (about 6 years!) and also worked at a daycare for two summers, caring for children from 5 months to 4 years old. I’ve also worked as a nanny and babysitter with kids of all different ages.

I have my own car and am happy to drive your kids wherever they need to go. I’ve always loved working with kids and really enjoy keeping them entertained while also sticking to their routines and making sure any requests or needs are taken care of.

I’m mainly looking for flexible date nights or daytime babysitting rather than a set weekly schedule. Feel free to reach out anytime!
