Breanna 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Breanna Vargas, and I am a 20-year-old babysitter based in Lafayette, California. I have over 3 years of childcare experience. I cared for children for 3 years in Mexico and also have childcare experience here in the United States. I have experience caring for children of all ages and can provide excellent references. Spanish is my first language, and I am currently learning English. Having long conversations in English can still be challenging for me, but I have successfully worked with English-speaking families. I recently cared for a one-year-old child, and we always had good communication regarding his care, routines, and needs. I stopped caring for him because I started school. I am a patient, loving, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with children and helping them learn and grow in a safe and nurturing environment. I would be happy to answer any questions and provide references upon request.

“I highly recommend Breanna as a babysitter. She has cared for my child on weekends and has always been very responsible, punctual, and trustworthy. She is caring, patient, and has a wonderful connection with children. She also teaches them Spanish in a natural way through games, songs, and activities, which we really appreciate since it is a second language for our child. She always arrives on time, follows instructions, and makes sure my child is safe, well cared for, and happy. I feel very comfortable leaving my child in her care and would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to other families.”

Cyrus $30 per hour for 1 child

Hiya!!!! My name is Ashé (Cyrus) 🤓👋🏾 I’m a calm caregiver with 2+ years of childcare experience with kiddos aged 3–14. I am certified in CPR + First Aid training for children, infants, and adults, Mandated Reporter certified, Registered Behavior Technician, and Physical Safety certified. I’ve got a background in theater so I love jumping into play! Making up stories, going with the flow, matching high energy, or calmly reading are all facets of the environments I like to create. My approach to childcare is compassion-based and neurodiversity-informed and I seek to ensure all kids under my care feel safe, understood, and engaged! Hope to talk soon and please let me know if there are any questions I could answer! 😁

Booked by 2 families in Canyon, CA

Away from the Bay until May 27th! I'll be back and available to book again on 5/27/2026. My CV: sites.google.com/view/minervalerner/cv I'm passionate about childcare and education, and have worked in daycare, preschool, and elementary school and summer camp settings. I've taught and provided care for children ages 2-10; I've also been involved with animals since childhood as a city shelter volunteer and foster caregiver for both cats and dogs. Most recently I've been trained through In-Home Social Services (IHSS) as a live-in caregiver for an elderly adult, assisting in both medical care and daily home maintenance tasks. I'm thoroughly organized (a total neat freak!) and ready to assume a supporting role (having worked as an assistant teacher/caregiver more often than in leading positions). Your little ones' safety and well-being are my top priorities, second only to your own peace of mind – I know how hard it can be to juggle household needs, and I'll take on whatever tasks necessary with enthusiasm!
