A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is April, and I am a fun, creative, and caring nanny. I absolutely love what I do and feel fortunate to have worked with some incredible families and non-profit organizations in our community, providing recreational opportunities for kids. I have experience with multiples, children of all ages and abilities, and it's truly amazing to have a job that involves understanding, nurturing, teaching, and helping them grow.
One of the things I enjoy the most during work hours is staying active with the children I care for. Whether we're at the beach, local museums, parks, or libraries, I make sure they get the most out of their day. It's always an adventure, and we're constantly learning something new while having fun in the sun!
Besides fun I am confident in my ability to help your household run smoothly as well as efficiently. Currently I am between two families in Montecito. Please feel free to reach out regarding your families needs and let’s see if I am a good fit!

Recent reference
"Jamie has been our daily nanny for the last several months, and we're only ending with her because we are moving across the country. Our loss is your gain! She's been phenomenal with our daughter, who is now 7 months old. Jamie is reliable, always on time, gracious, and kind and loving to our girl. We noticed an immediate difference when she came onboard - our daughter gets a ton of positive interaction from Jamie. From play time to nap time to eating-with-our-fingers time, Jamie keeps her engaged and learning. We keep a (non-strict) schedule with our baby, and Jamie (without us asking) read the books we were reading to make sure she was on the same page as us. She's helped us, first time parents, appreciate and understand the development steps as she's experienced them with other children. So she takes great direction, and has a lot to add (if you want it!) based on her history. We have been over the moon to have her take care of our child, and we will miss her dearly."
