Full-Time Nanny Available in Santa Barbara, CA: Teresa R.

"I am pleased to recommend Teresa Ruvalcaba, who worked as our family’s nanny from May 2016 through July 2020. During that time, she cared for our child from 5 months to 5 years old and became a trusted part of our family. Teresa was reliable, responsible, warm, and nurturing. She consistently prioritized our child’s safety and well-being, communicated openly, followed our directions, and respected our family’s routines. She also took initiative and managed her responsibilities confidently. Her duties included preparing meals and snacks, feeding and diapering, maintaining nap and daily routines, assisting with personal care, providing safe transportation, planning age-appropriate activities, and keeping our child’s areas and laundry clean and organized. She also taught our child Spanish through their everyday activities. We recommend Teresa without hesitation to any family seeking a dependable, capable, and caring nanny. Sincerely, Tania Lewis"

"I cannot recommend Teresa enough. She cared for our son from infancy through age 4 & became such an important part of our family. We were very anxious first-time parents and she earned our trust incredibly quickly. She taught us so much and brought such calm, warmth, and confidence into our home. During the baby stage, Teresa helped with everything from sleep schedules, laundry & food prep to developmental milestones and keeping us organized. She has great ideas for age-appropriate activities & ways to keep kids engaged & learning; And as our son got older, she was just as wonderful — always meeting him in his style of play, being silly & so fun, while still setting clear, loving boundaries. Teresa truly cared for our whole family, not just Cal. She is thoughtful, patient, fun, proactive, and genuinely loving. Being bilingual is an added bonus as she taught our son Spanish by age 3. We adore her, our son adores her, and if we could keep her forever, we absolutely would."
