A little bit about me

My name is Bella- lovely to meet you. I live and work in the Santa Barbara area. I have over two years of experience working with children as a nanny and babysitter. It is a challenge, but it is incredibly rewarding. I am currently working on getting more ECE units under my belt. As a Montessori Center alumnus, I feel I’ve been instilled with a unique skill set, and a sense of empathy and patience. I have reliable transportation, and enjoy going for walks and park trips with the children. I am more than happy to help with light housekeeping and meal prep. I am comfortable with pets, including cats, dogs, reptiles, etc. I have worked with children from the ages of three to twelve. My base rate is $22 for mornings and $27 for nights, but happy to negotiate. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any inquiries for me, or if you need to see any references, my former employers would be more than happy to chat and put in a great word. Thank you for your time and consideration!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I was a volunteer spark at the MOXI museum, and I also volunteered at a GVJHS theater summer camp as a counselor in training. I currently work part-time shifts for the SB Arts Fund’s family-friendly museum and gallery where I interact with children and ensure they have a safe and fun time with the museum exhibitions.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Walks to the park, board games, reading to the kiddos, writing games, baking projects, playing with the pets, and so much more!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Making sure the kids feel heard and respected. I want to ensure that they are safe, comfortable, and supported.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with children with autism, as well as kids with trauma, and can approach challenging situations with patience and empathy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I worked with a lovely eight-year-old boy and three-year-old girl, and as I was putting the eight-year-old to bed, he told his mom over the phone that I was the “best nanny ever”. It was my first day, I almost shed a tear! So sweet and rewarding.
