A little bit about me

Hi! Nice to meet you, I am Mariah Leggett and I’m a first-year college student at the University of Santa Barbara. I have a big heart for working with kids. I’ve gained strong experience in education, student support, and special education, which has taught me patience, creativity, and how to connect with every child’s unique needs. I’m reliable, positive, and love creating a fun, safe environment where kids can learn and just be themselves. I am so excited to possibly get to work with you and your family creating an easier lifestyle for you parents!

More About Me

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

Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes volunteering throughout the school year in both a special education and elementary classroom during high school, where I supported students and helped create a positive learning environment. I also completed lifeguard certification classes, where I taught young students how to swim and practice water safety, building patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing fun, creative activities with kids like arts and crafts, outdoor play, swimming, and interactive games that keep them engaged and active. I enjoy reading together, helping with homework, and coming up with imaginative play that lets kids express themselves and build confidence. I’m big on creating a positive, upbeat environment where kids feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. I also enjoy simple things like going on walks, playing music, or just being silly and making them laugh because I think the best connections come from having fun together!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is making sure children are always safe, well cared for, and genuinely happy. I believe in creating a positive, nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and able to be themselves while still having structure and guidance. It’s also really important to build trust with both the children and their parents, keeping open communication so parents feel supported, reassured, and confident that their kids are in good hands at all times.

My experience with special needs children...

I volunteered for a full year in a 1st–3rd grade special education classroom, where I worked one-on-one with students to support their individual needs. This experience helped me build patience, understanding, and adaptability while creating a supportive and positive environment for each child to succeed.

Janira C. - Seeking Work in Montecito

Live-In Part-Time Nanny Available in Montecito, CA: Janira C.

Hi, I’m Janira!
I have experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. I’ve had the privilege of working with high-profile families as well as in an outdoor camp and school environment, giving me a well-rounded approach to childcare that combines structure, adventure, and lots of heart.

I’m a city girl who absolutely loves nature, and I enjoy encouraging kids to explore, stay curious, and find joy in the world around them. I see my role as more than simply providing childcare. I strive to be a positive mentor, a trusted big-sister figure, and, when needed, that extra “third parent” who brings consistency, support, and encouragement.

My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel seen, confident, and free to be themselves while helping families feel supported and at ease.

I look forward to finding a great family to work with!
