A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Keira!
I’m currently a sophomore at Santa Barbara City College, working toward an associate’s degree for transfer with a major in Administration of Justice. I have nearly three years of hands-on childcare experience, including babysitting, camp counseling, and teaching summer courses focused on arts and science.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with children ranging from 2 to 13 years old, and I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with each child through a nurturing, creative, and engaging approach. My experience has given me the skills to encourage kids to explore their curiosity through crafts, interactive learning, and educational play.
I’m also happy to support your household in other ways, such as cleaning, meal prep, running errands, pickups/drop-offs, and pet care. I’m organized, reliable, and passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where your children can thrive.
I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your routine!

More About Me

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

I have over three years of childcare experience through babysitting, where I’ve cared for children of various ages and supported families with their day-to-day needs. In addition, I served as a head instructor at a summer camp, leading engaging arts, theater, and science classes. These experiences have strengthened my ability to create fun, safe, and educational environments for kids while encouraging creativity, curiosity, and confidence.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love creating fun and meaningful experiences with kids, whether it’s doing arts and crafts, encouraging imaginative play, exploring the outdoors together or supporting their learning through fun and educational activities. I have experience in theater, art, and various sports including basketball, soccer, and lacrosse. I love helping kids discover things they are passionate about or supporting them in their current passions!

My experience with special needs children...

I have valuable experience working with children with a wide range of special needs, including those with health concerns, mental health challenges, behavioral needs, and children on the autism spectrum. In these roles, I’ve learned the importance of patience, flexibility, and creativity in providing individualized care. I strive to create a supportive environment where each child feels safe, understood, and encouraged to thrive at their own pace.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite childcare moments was putting together a theater showcase for parents at the summer camp I worked for. Watching the kids bring their ideas to life on stage and express their creativity with so much confidence and joy was incredibly rewarding. Seeing their hard work and excitement shine through reminded me how powerful it is to give children opportunities to explore their passions and share them with others.
