Find a babysitter in Diablo, CA

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!

I am a certified postpartum doula and experienced babysitter with over 10 years caring for newborns through school age children. I’m currently studying psychoanalysis, which gives me a deeper understanding of children’s emotions, behavior, and communication. I believe children thrive with attention and connection, and I bring a creative, positive energy while guiding them through tantrums, separation anxiety, and transitions with clear and consistent boundaries. I gently support children’s routines, from meals and sleep to play, reading, and outdoor time, creating a calm and engaging environment where they feel secure and cared for. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and easy to trust. Pet friendly and happy to help with child related routines. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to chat and make sure it’s a great fit for your family.

Hi families! My name is Makena, and I'm a 20-year-old student at the University of Kentucky originally from San Ramon, California and will be in San Ramon for the summer. I've always enjoyed working with kids and have experience babysitting, including caring for a 10-year-old boy over the summer, experience as a summer camp counselor, and helped as an assistant cheer coach for the summer at California high school. During my time babysitting, I helped with meals, transportation, activities, and making sure he had a fun and safe time. I'm also comfortable caring for pets and have experience with both cats and dogs. As a former Division I athlete and lifelong cheerleader, I'm energetic, patient, good under pressure, and love to stay active. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and judgement free environment where they can feel comfortable and have fun. I have my own car and am happy to help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and other tasks as needed. My goal is to be someone both kids and parents can trust, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your family!

I’m an experienced nanny, babysitter, and pet sitter with a strong background in child development and a genuine passion for working with children. I have cared for children as young as 2 months old up to 14 years old, including families with multiple children. My favorite age group to work with is infants through preschoolers (0–5 years), as I love supporting their early learning, curiosity, and social-emotional growth. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each family’s unique needs and routines. In addition to childcare, I also provide pet sitting and house sitting services, with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I treat every home, child, and pet with the same level of care and responsibility as if they were my own.

I’m a grandma to 9 and I have adult children that I homeschooled. We live on a farm with lots of room to explore. I’m also an artist with extensive art supplies and opportunities to be creative.
