I've been a nanny in Santa Barbara since 2018, bringing over 10 years of experience with children from newborns to teenagers.

My partner works at a local museum, and we live on the Riviera with our therapy-trained dog, who specializes in separation anxiety and confidence building. I'm well-connected in the community and have a deep knowledge of local, child-centered activities to enrich your child's experience.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Triniti, and I'm 23 years old, turning 24 next month. I recently moved to Santa Barbara from San Luis Obispo. I absolutely love being outdoors – whether it's hiking, skating, having picnics at the park, swimming, dancing, or just playing in general, I'm always up for an adventure.

I've primarily worked for family and friends, but I've also had the pleasure of working for two other families outside of that circle.

If you were to ask my best friend to describe me, they'd say I'm nurturing, open-minded, giving, efficient, and always aware of the needs of those around me. I'm eager to bring my enthusiasm and positive energy to your home and help create a fun, safe, and nurturing space for your children.
