Booked by 3 families in Lafayette, CA

Hello! My name is Rakita I have over 25 years of babysitting and nannying experience with ages newborn to 12 yrs. I love to have fun, play games, read and provide excellent care to my families. I love to find out what my children’s interests are and allow them to lead in their play. For the little kiddos - playdoe, music, coloring and/or making toy/lego art. A favorite of mine is making oooblek which is a wonderful goo that toddlers to 3rd graders love to make. I also love to incorporate fun meal prep activities based on a child’s food preference and allergies. So if your child would like, we can make ants on a log (celery, your preferred butter if not peanut and raisins) or we make our own S’morse minus the camp fire☺️ or they help me make cookies and we decorate them, we can also decorate graham crackers if you prefer we don’t use the oven. Looking forward to meeting you! Thank you, Rakita

“This was our first time leaving our 18m old twins with someone other than a close friend or family member. We had a family wedding to attend and wanted to feel assured that the girls would be well cared for so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. Rakita's confidence, warmth, and professionalism made me feel confident the girls would handle the experience well. She came equipped with new books and toys to help keep them engaged and got right down to play and interact with them while we finished getting ready. She sent wonderful updates and photos through the evening. Best of all she was gentle and loving getting them both down to sleep for the night. I would highly recommend Rakita. She is open and easy with her love, prompt in responses, and reliable. We were thrilled to have such a wonderful caretaker for our first hiring experience. ”

Booked by 25 families in Lafayette, CA

Hello Thank you for visiting my profile. 😁 My name is Nenye and I’d love to be a part of your family. I have been a Babysitter since I was 15. I am looking for a full time or part-time job. I’ve worked full-time jobs primarily with infants between 2 months to 5years and also worked part-time with children between the ages of 7-11. I’m up to par with my TB shots, flu shot, Covid shot including booster shots. I accept jobs only from vaccinated families. I’m a non-smoker and non-drinker. I love cooking and cleaning and I am also an animal lover so I would definitely not mind being around any pet. I’d be happy to provide references as well as meet or chat on the phone. Looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When we leave our 2 kids (and dog) with her, we do so knowing they will be safe, happy and healthy. Nenye is smart, kind, and fun to be around, and easily matches the energy of any child. She genuinely enjoys the company of kids and they can tell! She is caring yet firm, and our kids love spending time with her. Extra bonuses - she is meticulously clean, well-organized, and communicative. I would highly recommend her for any family with no reservations.”

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
