A little bit about me

Hello, My name is Casey, and I am 23 year old nanny and Counseling Psychology graduate student based in Santa Barbara. I have worked as a private nanny for about 3-4 years now. I have extensive experience with infants and babies especially, but work with children of all ages. I am CPR certified, trained as a child abuse mandated reporter, and have extensive knowledge on infant and child development given my degree in Psychological and Brain Sciences from UCSB.

As a nanny, building a connection and relationship to each baby or child is very important to me. I will take the time to get to know and understand your baby/child so I can adequately support and take care of their individual needs. I am very patient, empathetic, engaging, attentive and adaptable/flexible when working with children. I really encourage their learning, development, and prioritize attuning to their cues in order to care for them appropriately.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have been a full time nanny prior for a couple of families. One baby boy who was 5 months old. I helped to foster his development by reading to him, helping to make his meals, closely following and tracking his napping schedule, taking him for long walks, and caring to his individual needs daily. I have also recently nannied for a family that has a 4 year old daughter and a 7 year old boy and would help pick them up from school/daycare, drop them to their sport practices, drop them to their summer camps, make them meals, drive them to appointments and play at the house and read with them. Managing two different ages and personalities was very fulfilling and fun. In addition, I am also the childcare coordinator at YogaSoup. I help to get volunteers each week to watch their babies with me, while the mother’s take a class. It has been such a joy to give these mother’s a moment for self care while getting to love on and play with their precious babies.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

going to the park, arts and crafts, going on walks, going to museums, botanic gardens, cooking, getting ice cream, watching movies together, reading books and playing games/board games, taking walks on the beach or short nature hikes

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being able to be a safe and supportive space for the baby or child. I feel it is crucial to build a connection with them that goes beyond taking care of the everyday duties. Understanding them, listening to them, teaching them, tending to their needs and practicing patience and kindness are all such important aspects for me when nannying.
