"Laurie is joyful, hardworking and loves children. She is always on time and ready to do whatever is needed. Laurie has helped care for my children at different times these past ten years. When my children were younger they loved when she was here as she always played with them. As my children have gotten older Laurie continues to engage with them at their level. Laurie is caring and thoughtful. She always respects our home rules and requests. She is clear in her communication and can be fully trusted. Laurie is wonderful and I highly recommend her nanny services!!"

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I have a degree in child development. I volunteered at my church with all ages for 8 years. I have nannied and babysat occasionally and consistently for various families.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I very much enjoy sensory play, I like bringing in water, textures, smells, etc. that allow for children to experience and learn more about the world around them!
The most important part about being a nanny...
I think engaging with the children is most important. In school I had a professor who always said our job isn’t to entertain children until their parents are back, but rather to engage and help them explore the world around them.
My experience with special needs children...
I volunteered at my church’s program for special needs children for 5 years. We had children from all backgrounds, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, ADHD, etc.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I love watching children’s eyes light up when they’re able to do something they’ve been trying to learn or simple when they appreciate the beauty around them in awe and with such an innocent, beautiful perspective.

Full-Time Nanny Available in Santa Barbara, CA: Alanna C.
I have a dance background and have been teaching children of all ages for nearly 10 years now. I am great with infants and toddlers, but thoroughly enjoy school aged children because I have so much that I can teach them. Teaching children is my passion, and I am not the average caregiver. I always come prepared with plans whether it be an activity, a field trip, new books, games, etc. I have nannied for multiple families and have many great references. I also lived as an Au pair for two families, and I have experience managing a household from laundry, meal prep, errands, and everything in between. I am fluent in German, play multiple instruments, and love creating things! In my spare time I run local Irish dance classes and am working on launching my own vitamin C business from home. My schedule is flexible and with the right family I will be able to work around their schedule while still fulfilling my entrepreneurial goals. Hope to hear from you soon!
Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Santa Barbara, CA: Kelsie M.
Hi! I am currently a nursing student pursuing my bachelors. I am 21 years old. I am very passionate in caring for children. I worked at Camp Keystone for two years as a counselor. The first year I worked with the age group 7-9 year olds. The second year I worked with the horses where I taught children of all ages how to ride and be safe with horses. In high school I was the president of the Agoura 4H where I ran club meetings and held fun activities for children. I consider myself a passionate, flexible and adaptive person. Growing up I had multiple nannies since my parents worked full time. Having a nanny that was caring and someone I looked up to was amazing to have. This transferred over to the way I care for children. I have excellent skills in planning, organizing, and prioritizing the children as well as household activities.!
