CalypsoGoleta

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Calypso, and I am looking for a part time babysitting job! I'm from the Bay Area, but now live and attend school in SB. I started babysitting in high school and also have experience working with kids in professional settings. I worked full time at a daycare where I provided all around care to 0-2-year-olds. The last two summers I have worked as a camp counselor at a ranch, where I taught elementary aged kids animal care, cooking, arts and crafts, and games. Now at SBCC, I take Early Childhood Education classes to further my childcare knowledge, and hope to continue my work with kids while balancing school.

I know how important it is to find a babysitter who's not only reliable, but also enthusiastic about making my time with your kids both fun and meaningful. Whether it's reading, playing games, helping with homework, or just creating a positive environment, I am dedicated to being attentive, and reliable.

I hope to have the chance to meet and make your life a little easier!

NinaGoleta

$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nina, and I’m a responsible, patient, and energetic college student with experience working with children through tutoring, babysitting, and helping families with daily routines. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids, whether that means helping with homework, playing games, preparing simple meals or keeping them on schedule.

I’m reliable and comfortable communicating with parents about expectations, routines and any needs their children may have. I have experience tutoring kids in English and math, so I’m happy to help with schoolwork as well. I am also fluent in french. I’m comfortable with pets and light household tasks when needed. I would love the opportunity to support a family and make their day-to-day life easier while making sure their children feel cared for and safe.

Goleta

$27 per hour for 1 child

Hello!

I’m a 44-year-old mother of twin 17-year-old boys and come from a close-knit family of four siblings. I was born and raised here in beautiful Santa Barbara and am bilingual in English and Italian.

I began babysitting at the age of 12 and have always had a deep love for caring for children. I truly believe children are amazing, and I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can grow, learn, and feel supported. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—including twins and triplets.

My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, games, outdoor adventures, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication support when needed, and helping children maintain healthy routines through play and movement.

In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I also have experience caring for elders, persons with physical and mental health challenges/disabilities, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and attention to detail.

I am currently employed as a Mental Health Case Manager in a Crisis Stabilization Unit, where I provide calm, compassionate, and detail-oriented care—skills I bring into every babysitting role.

Please note, I am unfortunately allergic to cats.

I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and I look forward to supporting families by providing dependable and loving childcare.

I look forward to working with you soon!

“Francesca was great with my 5 year! He invited her to be part of our family after the first day. :-) She was professional and flexible. She was playful and kept up with my kiddos endless energy. He was very happy to hang out with her. We will definitely look her up next time we are in town and need care.”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
