Hi! I’m Nicolette! I’m a rising senior at San Diego State University majoring in Business, and after graduation I plan to pursue a career in medical sales. In the meantime, I’ve found a passion for working with children and love getting to be a positive part of their everyday lives.I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’m currently a full-time nanny for an amazing 2-year-old boy and have been with the same family for the past 10 months. I love planning fun activities, getting outside, reading books, doing crafts, and helping little ones learn and grow while keeping them safe and happy.In addition to my current nanny position, I spent several years providing evening and overnight care for a family with three children, ages 4, 6, and 8. I’ve also babysat for many other families over the years, so I’m comfortable with different ages, routines, and personalities.I’m dependable, patient, and energetic, and I truly enjoy building relationships with the families I work with. Whether it’s helping with meals, bedtime routines, school pickups, or just keeping kids entertained and engaged, I always strive to create a fun, caring, and trustworthy environment. I treat every child as if they were my own and love being someone parents can count on!

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.

Hi! My name is Yerin, and I love spending time with kids. I believe kids are so pure in heart and have so much potential. One of my favorite things is getting to know each child's unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and have fun.Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with children in many different settings. I've been a tutor for students of all ages, taught elementary students at school, worked with children through church, and volunteered in programs where I planned activities and built meaningful relationships with kids. These experiences have taught me that every child learns and grows differently, and I enjoy meeting them where they are.I would describe myself as patient, dependable, and encouraging. Whether it's helping with homework, doing crafts, playing games, spending time outdoors, or simply being someone they can feel comfortable around, I always want children to feel listened and cared for. I also understand how important communication is, so I make it a priority to keep parents updated and ensure they feel confident that their children are in good hands.I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Healthcare Administration, and connecting with others has always been something that's important to me.I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and would be honored to care for your little ones!
