Hi my name is Ada! I am an undergraduate student at UCLA studying psychology. I am super passionate about working with children, I have been babysitting for over 10 years with children of all different age ranges. With a lifetime immersed in a large Italianfamily dynamic, including growing up with a younger brother, younger cousins, and two nieces and three nephews, I bring a natural, deeply rooted intuition for childcare grounded in strong core Italian familial values. Over the last seven years, I have successfully babysat and nannied for 10+ families, expertly managing multi-child households with children varying in ages from 2 to 14.My dedication to children extends well beyond private care into community education and institutional settings. I completed over 100 volunteer hours at the Canal Child Care Center in the Bay Area, providing attentive care for low-income and underprivileged young children aged 3 to 4. In this role, I actively engaged children through play, reading, and English language instruction to support Spanish-speaking families. Additionally, I spent two years from 2019 to 2021 working directly with children at the Bay Area Discovery Museum, further sharpening my ability to facilitate enriching, developmentally appropriate activities for children and their families. Complementing my childcare expertise is a robust academic foundation. As an undergraduate psychology student at UCLA specializing in developmental and clinical psychology, I have the foundation necessary to provide a well rounded care taking experience with scientific knowledge. Furthermore, my 10-year background attending a Waldorf school and my professional experience as an elementary sewing teacher in 2020 enable me to offer rich creative engagement, including art, knitting, crocheting, sewing, and creative writing.Fluent in English and Italian, with high proficiency in Spanish, I am also uniquely equipped to provide comprehensive academic support, homework help, and tutoring. I am fully prepared to manage household logistics. I provide reliable transportation using my own Toyota RAV4, ensuring safe transit for school, activities, and errands. Comfortable with pets, light housekeeping, and flexible scheduling for both regular routines and occasional date nights, I am deeply passionate about fostering a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for every family I work with.

Hello! My name is Basilia J Farshchi I'm 19 and just moved to Santa Barbara from Denver. I only have about a year of professional babysitting experience, and I babysat children between 3-10 years old who lived throughout my neighborhood and went to my sisters school. My sister is 11 years younger than me however, so I have many hours of hand on experience having babysat her by myself since she was an infant.I love playing games, hiking, swimming, and watching television. I also play electric guitar. At home I loved to keep my sister active and teach her new skills. I have experience tutoring as well, meaning I'll be able to assist your children in any homework they might have. I'm trained and certified in CPR, AED, and first aid. I attended montessori school through middle school and learned the principles of childcare and education. I believe in providing an entirely hospitable environment for you and your family and giving your children fun and memorable experiences.

Hey there! I just wanted to share a bit about myself. I've been working in childcare for a whopping 25 years! I'm certified in Adult, Child, and Infant Pediatrics CPR/AED and First Aid, and I also have a Newborn Care Specialist certificate from the Newborn Care Solutions Foundation. I'm originally from California and I share my home with a beloved feline friend named Ninibean. I adore all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to the little critters. When it comes to music, I'm all about '80s classic rock and roll, especially Hall and Oates, and I've got a soft spot for tunes from the '70s, '80s, and '90s, with a sprinkle of country music in the mix.My grown son is off living his best life, and I couldn't be prouder. Working with children is truly my passion. On top of that, I'm a big fan of skincare and anything related to beauty. While we can't halt the aging process, I firmly believe we can slow it down a bit. My journey into childcare started at the YMCA. I initially pursued a career as a cosmetologist and even did some studies in psychology at Golden West College in Huntington Beach, California. However, my son needed me more, so I put my education on hold. That's when I found the YMCA, and it was an amazing experience. I continued my education at Somerset Preschool in Westminster, California, and eventually found my way to the Westminster School District, where I spent 10 wonderful years. I also took night classes at Huntington Beach Adult Education, where I completed my medical assisting certificates.During the last year of my son's senior year, we decided to move to Minnesota where I got my first Nannies job. I then moved to Virginia and am now ready to create new memories with a new family. Thank you so much for listening to my story. I hope this gives you some insight into who I am and what I love to do. I can't wait to meet my new family! Thank you!
