Flexible summer childcare that fits your family

Summer nanny availability

Vetted nannies available for full-time, part-time, or date-night summer schedules. Whether you need consistent weekly care or a few days a week, we match you with the right person.

Camp-alternative care

Personalized one-on-one or share-care as an alternative to crowded summer camps. Beach days, hiking, nature exploration—your child’s summer, tailored to them.

Flexible summer scheduling

Week-by-week or seasonal arrangements that adapt to your summer plans. Travel-friendly scheduling and vacation coverage when you need it most.

More than a camp alternative

Summer in Santa Barbara means long days at the beach, morning hikes in the foothills, and afternoons spent exploring tide pools. A summer nanny gives your child personalized attention in the setting they love most—not a crowded group environment, but their own backyard, neighborhood, and community.

Kindred vets summer caregivers with the same rigor as year-round placements. Values alignment, experience review, and a personal conversation—because the person caring for your children during the most memorable months of their year deserves the same standard of trust.

“Summer is when families need flexible, trusted care the most—and when the right nanny can turn an ordinary break into something extraordinary for your children.”
