A little bit about me

Hi Moms and Dads! My name is Ella, and I’m looking to support a family with babysitting on Thursday nights through Sundays. I live in Montecito/ Santa Barbara and I have several years of experience caring for up to four children at a time. I have nannied and babysat 6 months to 13 years olds, with most of my experience being with infants and kids under 7. I also am able to tutor if your children needs extra help which many parents exclusively use me for.
A little about me:
• I’m a nursing student at Westmont College and a recent UCLA graduate.
• I hope to become a pediatric nurse, so working with kids is truly something I love, and earning extra money to get through school is just a perk!
• I’m fully vaccinated, have a reliable vehicle, and am CPR certified (including infant and child CPR).
• I also hold my medical assistant certification and a lifeguard certification, which parents often find reassuring, especially for little ones who love to be active.

Heidi S. - Seeking Work in Montecito

Part-Time Nanny Available in Montecito, CA: Heidi S.

Hi, I’m Heidi! I grew up on the East Coast with three brothers and earned my Bachelor’s in Communication from Denison University before moving to Ventura three years ago for the health, outdoor, and ocean lifestyle.
Nannying is where I got my start — I’ve cared for children from 6 months to 7 years old. Since then I’ve worked in marketing and operations, juggling several clients at once, so I’m a calm problem-solver and strong organizer who keeps schedules and routines running smoothly. I’m happy to travel and can help coordinate trips. My hospitality background is Forbes Five-Star trained, and I love building genuine connections with people.
A former competitive ice hockey player, I now play pickleball in Ojai. I love to cook and paint- and I’m always up for arts, crafts, and activities with kids.
I’m nearly finished with my Functional Medicine Health Coach certification, so I bring a holistic approach — healthy meals, outdoor play, and simple wellness woven into the day!
