Hello! I'm Tammy, an upcoming graduate from UCSB. I've been a professional babysitter for a year, but with being the oldest of seven siblings, taking care of children of all ages has always been second nature to me. Additionally, I have gained a year of experience as a certified resource parent for fostered youth. I am passionate about watching children learn and contribute to their growth. I enjoy creating engaging activities for kids, both indoors and outdoors. In my free time, I volunteer as a tutor for an organization called School on Wheels, which provides free tutoring and mentoring to homeless youth. Additionally, I'm a pre-dental volunteer for a club called Dental Buddies at my school. We visit local elementary schools to teach students about dental hygiene, including brushing teeth, flossing, and overcoming fear of the dentist.

My name is Taylor, I am a freshman in college looking for some part time babysitting. I took a gap year between highschool and college and I nannied for a family full time. I loved doing that and love spending time with kids. I am available after school and weekends. I would be happy to help with dinners as I also love to cook. When I’m not in school or working my other job, I love spending time outside, running, surfing, and hiking. I think it’s so important for kids to get outside as much as possible so I would love to take your kids to the park or just make sure we play outside for a significant amount of time!!
