Booked by 161 families in Antioch, CA

My passion and calling is caring for children. The safety and well being of my charges are paramount to me. I have 30 + years of experience working with children (including but not limited to children with various special needs) in Brazil, Germany, India, Hawaii and now here in CA. Tending to each child's needs with regard to his/her unique personality and developmental stages is my main goal, while still having fun in the process! Families that have experienced my care services describe me as reliable, creative, accommodating, patient, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, loving, and firm when needed (see reviews). Our time together is filled with adventures, age-appropriate activities, reading, imaginative play, walks in nature, music, Yoga, dance, and lots of love. My background is in Speech and Language Therapy, Montessori, and Infant/ Child Development. I am a mother of a 30 year-old son (graduated from UC Berkeley /Computer Science) and a 27 year-old daughter. (UC Santa Cruz /CS). Current CPR/First Aid. Trust Line registered, clean driving record and I own a reliable car. I do not smoke, use drugs, or drink alcohol. During the time your child is under my care, my phone usage is limited to communicate with you. I am fully present, engaging and giving the children my undivided attention. Rates vary, depending on distance and job description. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

“Nadia was amazing with our son. She was warm, punctual, thorough, and communicative. Our son loved her!”

Booked by 4 families in Antioch, CA

Hi! My name is Jasmine. I am currently pursuing a career in biotechnology and have several years of experience working with children and families. I have experience nannying and babysitting children ranging from 3 months to 8 years old, including caring for two boys under the age of 4 as a summer nanny. I’m happy to provide professional references from both UrbanSitter and Care.com. I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for the families I work with. Whether it’s helping with playtime, homework, bedtime routines, meal prep, or keeping the house organized, I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each family’s unique needs. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet care. I have two dogs and a cat at home, and I currently foster kittens through a local rescue organization, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. Fostering has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm and caring in busy situations. My background in retail management, sales, and merchandising with companies like Banana Republic and Forever 21 has also made me highly organized, responsible, and great at multitasking. Families can count on me for household help, errands, organization, and maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. I would love the opportunity to support your family and become someone you can rely on!

I’m Kat! I’m 22, studying music at Diablo Valley College. I’ve been working as a paid babysitter for four years (and an unpaid for about sixteen!). Growing up with four siblings (and many more little cousins) means lots of helping out with the little ones, so I have lots of experience! I love working with kids, and have a couple cats at home—so I’m thrilled to help you!
