Find an emergency babysitter in Lafayette, CA

Hi! My name is Hazel, and I’ve always enjoyed working with kids and have hands-on experience from volunteering as a teacher’s aide at my church, where I helped care for and supervise kids ages 12 and under, including babies and toddlers. I’m currently working toward a degree in child psychology, which has given me a deeper understanding of child development and behavior. Along with childcare, I also have experience caring for dogs, so I’m comfortable in homes with pets and happy to help with pet care if needed. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, calm, and fun environment for kids. Along with a more relaxing and stress free environment for the parents.

Hi I’m new to Urban sitter but have been active on Care.com the past 6 + years! I have lots of positive reviews and referrals on my care account id love to send if you are interested! I wanted to use this site to offer my occasional and date night nanny services. My name is Bridget and I’m a 26 year old flight attendant! I worked at a day care before I started flying 7 years ago and while flying I have worked for many families occasionally babysitting. I did take a little over a year off flying where I left my last airline in Arizona (where I’m born and raised) to move to the Bay Area where my Dad and other family are at. I started nannying in Marin where I got introduced to a family needing more of a family manager role. The kids were 10, 13, and 16. I gained a lot of experience doing that for about a year and a half then got hired at southwest as a flight attendant. I don’t have a very constant free schedule but I do have flexibility and time off where I have been occasionally nannying. I’d love to help your family out with occasional childcare and date nights! Feel free to reach out and I’ll let you know my availability.

I managed a childcare department at the YMCA in Redding, CA for 2 years and have worked in childcare and nannying for 8 years, half of that being in the Bay Area. I've worked with all ages from newborn up to teenagers, with an large cluster of those being around ages 4-10. Every age comes with its own delights, challenges, and needs, and I enjoy learning the particularities of what will work for each family and child. I love being active and incorporate movement into my care as much as I can, whether that's playing soccer in the yard, turning on music for a dance party, or going for walks or bike rides. Creative projects are also a big part of my life, and I often bring in crafts and hands-on activities. Drawing a favorite object, making a mosaic out of stones at the park, bringing my latest knitting project as a little show and tell -- there are so many ways to engage creatively! My goal is to make sure every child is safe, happy, and feels engaged with. I grew up in a large, formerly Amish family and have been around and watching kids my whole life. I’m a recent political economy graduate from UC Berkeley, currently doing oral history and linguistic work when I'm not caring for children.

I have a strong caregiving background shaped by years of hands-on experience with children, seniors, and pets. I grew up helping care for my younger sister, who is now 17, as well as several younger cousins, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, fun environment for kids of different ages. I also have experience in senior care, most meaningfully, I cared for my great-grandpa when he was 92. Supporting him with daily tasks, companionship, and mobility needs, helped me develop empathy, attentiveness, and the ability to stay calm and supportive in sensitive situations. I am also very comfortable with pets. I have two cats and a dog of my own, so I am used to feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. and managing different personalities and energy levels. Overall, I am reliable, compassionate, and easy to communicate with. I am naturally patient detail detail-oriented, and respectful of family routines. whether it is helping with kids, seniors, pets, or household tasks. I bring a positive attitude to caregiving for every role.
