A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is April, and I am a fun, creative, and caring nanny. I absolutely love what I do and feel fortunate to have worked with some incredible families and non-profit organizations in our community, providing recreational opportunities for kids. I have experience with multiples, children of all ages and abilities, and it's truly amazing to have a job that involves understanding, nurturing, teaching, and helping them grow.
One of the things I enjoy the most during work hours is staying active with the children I care for. Whether we're at the beach, local museums, parks, or libraries, I make sure they get the most out of their day. It's always an adventure, and we're constantly learning something new while having fun in the sun!
Besides fun I am confident in my ability to help your household run smoothly as well as efficiently. Currently I am between two families in Montecito. Please feel free to reach out regarding your families needs and let’s see if I am a good fit!

A little bit about me
Hello families!
My name is Flor and I am a freshman at SBCC.
With 8 years of experience under my belt, I'm highly skilled in working with children of all ages, including multiples and those with special needs. My extensive babysitting experience dates back to when I was 18 years old, and for the past four years, I've been working with the same family. I've completed a course in early childhood development, which has proven to be highly helpful in my nanny years. Being bilingual in Spanish and English, I can offer your children the added benefit of learning a second language. As a responsible nanny, I'm certified in first aid and CPR, and I'll always prioritize your children's safety.
If you're in search of a compassionate and dependable nanny, look no further. I'd be honored to provide the care and support your children need to thrive.

"Hi Mom’s that are looking for a nanny starting in 2023!
We will sadly be letting our nanny go in 2023 when our daughter starts preschool. My children (my son is almost 11, my daughter is 8 and my little one almost 3) are truly better because she is in our lives. She has been an incredible part of our family and I feel so grateful for the time my children got with her.
She is primarily a Spanish speaker and has a background as an assistant teacher. She is so incredible with our kids and always comes up with fun and creative projects to keep them entertained. I sometimes work from home and hear laughs on the other side of the door most of the afternoon.
If you end up in contact with her I am more than happy to be contacted for references!"

"I am pleased to recommend Teresa Ruvalcaba, who worked as our family’s nanny from May 2016 through July 2020. During that time, she cared for our child from 5 months to 5 years old and became a trusted part of our family.
Teresa was reliable, responsible, warm, and nurturing. She consistently prioritized our child’s safety and well-being, communicated openly, followed our directions, and respected our family’s routines. She also took initiative and managed her responsibilities confidently.
Her duties included preparing meals and snacks, feeding and diapering, maintaining nap and daily routines, assisting with personal care, providing safe transportation, planning age-appropriate activities, and keeping our child’s areas and laundry clean and organized. She also taught our child Spanish through their everyday activities.
We recommend Teresa without hesitation to any family seeking a dependable, capable, and caring nanny.
Sincerely,
Tania Lewis"

"She was such an attentive and caring nanny to our children and we were lucky to have her. She’s reliable, dependable, and a responsible person who goes out of her way to make sure the kids are happy/taken care of. She’s willing to work with you in figuring out what’s best for everyone, and takes the kids places if you want that. She will help keep any boundaries/rules you have with your kids too, and work with you as a team for your kids. I cannot say enough praises about her."

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Santa Barbara, CA
Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.
Santa Barbara Nanny Interviews
Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:
- Do you have experience being a nanny?
- How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
- What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
- Are you open to a live in arrangement in Santa Barbara? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
- Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
- Do you have any references?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Santa Barbara?
- Do you have a driver’s license in CA? Do you own a car?
- What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
- What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?
During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help
Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny
Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
