Breanna 2 reviews
Lafayette
$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.

Heyy! i’m Alexis, you can just call me Lexx. I genuinely enjoy babysitting because it gives me the chance to connect with kids, help them learn, and make their day a little more fun. I love creating a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged. Whether it's playing games, helping with homework, or just being a supportive presence, I find it incredibly rewarding to be part of a child's growth and happiness. Babysitting isn't just a job to me — it’s something I truly look forward to.

Alexis is amazing with my 2 kids and all of my animals. I have 6 cats & 2 dogs and they all love her and so do my kids

Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a nursing graduate from the Philippines currently working toward getting my nursing license here. Caring for others has always been my passion, which is why I truly enjoy helping families—whether it’s with child care, senior care, pet care, or household support. Child Care: I have experience caring for children from 10 months to 12 years old, including one family with an infant and three older kids. I enjoy engaging children in fun and creative activities that support their development—like reading, drawing, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I can also assist with meal preparation, light cleaning, and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. ALSO OPEN TO NANNYING FOR SPECIAL EVENTS (corporate meeting, family reunion, weddings, etc.) TO GROUP OF CHILDREN so parents can have a good time stress-free. Senior & Geriatric Care: I have hands-on experience providing care for elderly clients, including those with limited mobility and chronic health conditions. My background includes assisting with daily living activities such as bathing, feeding, dressing, and medication reminders. I also offer companionship, emotional support, and light housekeeping. My goal is always to help seniors maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence as much as possible. Pet Care: I’ve cared for several pets, including three dogs, a cat, and even farm animals while assisting a paralyzed adult. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and giving basic care for both small and large animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and keeping them happy and active. Household Services: I can help with cleaning, cooking, errands, laundry, and organizing. If needed, I can also bring my own cleaning supplies. I take pride in keeping a home clean, comfortable, and welcoming for everyone in it. Caring for people—young or old, human or furry—has always come naturally to me. I approach every role with patience, compassion, and genuine care.

I highly recommend Maria Grace as a babysitter. She took care of my daughter for one year, and during that time she proved to be very reliable, patient, and caring. Maria Grace always made sure that my daughter was safe, comfortable, and well looked after. She was attentive to my child’s needs and created a positive and nurturing environment. As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind knowing that my daughter was in good hands. Maria Grace is trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind with children. I am very grateful for the care she provided to my daughter, and I confidently recommend her to any family looking for a dependable babysitter.
