Diana 1 review
San Rafael
$40 per hour for 1 child

About Me I have 5 years of experience working with children, including after-school programs where I supported students with activities, learning, and development. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and very patient when helping children or families learn new skills. I have built great relationships with the families I’ve worked with and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. Outside of work, I love to dance, work out, ride my bike, bake, cook, and take walks with my dog.

We had a wonderful experience with Diana! She took amazing care of our 5-year-old, handling the entire bedtime routine, putting our child to bed, and even feeding our dog. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and caring. Our child absolutely loves her and always looks forward to seeing her. Her bedtime routine is amazing: calm, organized, and comforting, which made evenings so much easier for us as parents. A huge plus for our family is that Diana speaks Spanish, which has been wonderful since our child is learning the language. We really appreciated the extra exposure and encouragement in such a natural way. We always felt confident leaving our child in her care and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and loving babysitter. We will book her again for sure. Thank so much Diana!

Rebecca San Rafael
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Becca, and I've recently moved to San Rafael from Sacramento. I have over 5 years of professional childcare experience, including Early Childhood Education (ECE) teaching with children ages 4 months–5 years, as well as coaching gymnastics and parkour for ages 2–12. I’ve worked as a private nanny for children across all age groups and especially enjoy working with infants and preschool-aged children (3–6). I focus on play-based, child-led learning in calm, structured environments that encourage curiosity and exploration. With infants, I have experience supporting sleep routines, feeding, tummy time, and sensory play. With toddlers and preschoolers, I enjoy incorporating movement, everyday learning like early literacy and numeracy, and creative play that builds curiosity, confidence, and independence. I also bring a calm, emotionally attuned approach, helping children navigate big emotions with steady support and clear, consistent boundaries. In previous roles, I’ve supported families with school pick-ups/drop-offs, meal prep, children’s laundry, and daily routines like bath and bedtime. I’m currently looking for a part-time position and would be happy to provide references. I’m fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified. Please feel free to message me with any questions or to chat about how I can best support your family. Thank you for your time!
