A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Cassidy, and I am an experienced nanny and preschool teacher with over 10 years of professional experience caring for children. I have worked with children of various ages, abilities, and developmental needs in both home and classroom settings. My approach as a nanny is to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and respected. I value consistency, clear communication, and building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I have a clean background and can provide excellent references. I view nannying as more than just a job and enjoy becoming a reliable, supportive presence for families while learning and growing alongside the children in my care.

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Ruby. I was born and raised in Santa Barbara California. I currently work as a paraeducator for special needs children in a school setting and am looking to shift into nannying. I am very creative and love making little art projects and cooking. I consider myself a pretty active person and love being outdoors. In my free time I am either reading, learning how to cook a new recipe or spending time with family. I enjoy working with kids and seeing them learn something new always makes my day!

A little bit about me
Currently looking for part-time morning hours with one kid, ideally under 2.
My passions lie in the outdoors and creative expression. I've spent the last 2 years caring for my grandparents who are in their 90s, in the heart of LA. Before that I worked in outdoor education including nature pre-school, nature day camp, and sleep away expedition programs. Residing in Colorado, New Hampshire, and Maine. I also nannied during college.
I grew up visiting Santa Barbara with my grandparents, and am now calling it home. I live aboard a 35 foot sailboat with my boyfriend, which we plan to put to use in the coming years.
I spent the first 10 years of my life in Paris, France, so I am fluent in french. I am also proficient in Spanish, as I have been living with my Ecuadorian Grandmother.
Care-taking is what I am good at, I love to cook and I love children.
My approach is centered around play, celebrating their curiosity and sense of wonder.

"We have four boys, ages 2-8, and have been particular about who we use for childcare. We began using Evie as a babysitter in the spring of 2015, and she has become a beloved part of our family over the years.
Handling multiple, energetic boys, and a baby at the same time, is a challenging job, but Evie has managed it beautifully. She has a sweet, calm demeanor but is also firm and keeps the boys and our home in order. We come home to a clean kitchen, washed dishes, and picked-up toys. And, most importantly, we find safe boys with fun stories about games played and books read. Our boys both love and respect Evie.
We have also been able to observe Evie’s character and have been consistently impressed with her maturity. She is actively involved in our church and radiates a love for Jesus. She is respectful, honest, modest, and dependable. We trust her completely and have recommended her to others who also now have Evie at the top of their babysitter lists!
