Hi! I'm Claire. A little about me- I'm originally from Chicago, and I'm the fourth of 8 kids. I recently relocated to Santa Barbara from NYC, where I moved after graduating with my degree in Musical Theatre. While not taking care of kiddos, I spend my time auditioning, hanging out with friends, reading, and writing. I have been babysitting for over 11 years, and have experience with all ages, from infants to junior high students. Previously, I was a nanny for a family in NYC for over 2 years. In addition, I am certified in CPR, First Aid and AED for infants, children, and adults. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your family!

Claire was our nanny for our son for over two years in New York City, starting in March 2021 until we moved in May 2024. Claire was an absolutely wonderful nanny and we considered her as an addition to our family. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and attention she provided to our child. From the very beginning, Claire demonstrated kindness, patience, and a nurturing spirit. It is evident that she is a natural with children, likely due in part to her experience helping care for her seven siblings growing up. Claire’s ability to bond with our son was heartwarming, and we could see how much he adored her. She has a gift for making children feel safe and loved, which is something every parent hopes for in a nanny. In addition to her loving nature, Claire was always professional and reliable. She was never late and followed every direction we provided with great care and attention to detail. Whenever an issue arose or she noticed something unusual with our son, she immediately gave us a heads up, which gave us peace of mind as parents. Her proactive communication made her an invaluable support to our family. One of Claire’s unique talents is her beautiful singing voice. She often sang Disney songs to our son, which he absolutely loved and we were thrilled when he would surprisingly sing them to us. It added a joyful atmosphere to our home and further strengthened their bond. Her creativity and enthusiasm for engaging with our son, whether through songs, games, or reading, ensured he was always entertained and learning. We are truly grateful for everything Claire has done for our family (and wish we could have taken her with us!). We have no doubt that she will continue to excel as a nanny and bring joy and comfort to any family she works with. We wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone in search of a caring, dependable, and talented nanny.
