A little bit about me
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!

What Is a House Manager/Nanny?
A House Manager/Nanny combines childcare with household management or family assistant duties. Besides caring for the children, they help run the household, from organizing schedules and errands to supervising other help, which suits busy families who want one person looking after the home and the children.
Common Responsibilities of House Manager/Nannies in Santa Barbara, CA
Duties often include meal planning and grocery shopping, laundry, organizing the home, running errands, scheduling appointments and activities, and coordinating with other household staff, on top of childcare. The balance between childcare and household tasks varies from one family to another.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Be specific about how the time is split between childcare and household work, and put it in a job description. Roles that combine duties may be paid at a higher rate, and they call for more experience. Make sure expectations about housekeeping, such as deep cleaning, are clear from the start.
House Manager/Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Have you worked as a nanny and as a household manager or family assistant?
- What household tasks are you comfortable managing?
- How do you organize schedules, errands, and appointments?
- Have you supervised other staff, such as cleaners or contractors?
- How do you balance the children's needs with household tasks?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
