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!

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!"

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Giselle Alexander, and I'm a college student at UCSB. I've been babysitting for close family friends and neighbors since I was 12, but when I was 16, began to take childcare service seriously and gained ten clients back in my hometown. Besides babysitting, I have experience working in nurseries, and leading kids camps. I am so excited to meet new families, and create great connections with individuals of all ages here in the 805 area! I LOVE art, and am definitely looking forward to creating crafts, fairy houses, and art pieces with your kids! I also love going for walks, especially to the park! I am accustomed to a diverse age range, and my optimistic disposition creates an outlook for me to solve any problem or clean up a mess. I believe in no secrets between caregiver-and-child, and give full reports of our time to parents. Always.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Caroline. I have been employed for years to watch over children, but a good bulk of my experience has come right out of my own home. I am the oldest child of 7 kids, ranging from me (27 years old) to my youngest brother (13 years old). Because of this, I have had the chance to play the role of second mom for my whole life. I've truly seen it all! I have a lot of experience with newborns and every age after. I currently make my living as a part time nanny and personal assistant to a business executive and her three children, ages 1, 5, and 9. The rest of my work schedule is taken up teaching 30+ private piano and voice students ranging from 6 years old to 24 years old.
I am currently looking for a summer position as I will be returning home to get my degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Utah in the fall. I would love an out of state adventure before I get back to school! I look forward to meeting you!
