Find an emergency babysitter in Lafayette, CA

Hello, My name is Aryn, and I currently reside in the East Bay. I work full time as a college Advisor in Berkeley, specifically in International Education. I’ve worked with kids in all aspects for as long as I can remember. I was a junior lifeguard, tutored kids in high school, cared for elementary and middle school aged children in early college, was a student teacher to 5th and 6th grade students while studying abroad in college, and currently pick up shifts for families when they are needed. I love pets, especially dogs. I have a dog in my hometown of Los Angeles.

Hi! My name is Claire and I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelors in communication studies. I have been babysitting since freshman year of high school and also have four years of experience coaching kids soccer both boys and girls ages 5-10. I have loved being able to share my love for soccer while coaching and really enjoy babysitting. I have grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them as well. I studied abroad in Italy in 2023 where I interned at a local cooking school and cooking is one of my favorite things to do!

Hi My name is Tania and I'm currently a student at University of San Francisco | Psychology major| Pre-Dental. I am offering childcare and household services. I love being a caregiver and have been caring for children since I was 15 years old. I worked as a nanny for two elementary school girls in Alameda, then spent nearly two years nannying for a family on College Ave in Oakland, CA. I've cared for children of all ages; from supporting a neighbor with their one-year-old to helping with school-age kids. Services I provide: -School pickups and drop-offs -Playtime activities -Trips to the park/ outdoor -Homework help -Light cooking I'm CPR certified and Stop the Bleed certified - I can send certification upon request

With close to ten years of experience in youth education and childcare, I have worked with children ages three and up across a wide range of settings. My academic background spans psychology and theater arts, including a semester of dedicated research in early childhood developmental psychology. Beyond nannying, my deepest passion is theater — I have performed in dozens of professional stage productions throughout the Bay Area, including children's theater in San Francisco. I bring that creative energy directly to my work with kids: I teach drama and vocal lessons to students ages five and up, and co-founded a drama camp and daycare program in Point Richmond back in 2020. I began nannying at 20 and have genuinely loved every stage of this work. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with basic household tasks, offer pet care (I'm a former dog walker and current cat owner), and provide transportation — I have a valid CA driver's license and my own vehicle. If your child has an interest in performing arts, I'd also love to incorporate some singing or drama games into our time together.

As a certified teacher with a decade of childcare experience, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth. My calm and creative personality helps me engage children in educational and fun activities. I keep parents updated on their child's day through written reports and use their preferred communication method. I'm comfortable following the household rules set by the parents and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm also fluent in English and Portuguese. Adding to all, I am certified for First Aid and Child Nutrition and Cooking. By now, my priority is to keep the kids safe while nurturing a playful environment where they can develop their set of skills and personality. I`m fully vaccinated. I believe in supporting families and providing reliable care. It brings me joy to see the positive impact I have on children's lives. I would be thrilled to be a part of your family and look forward to getting to know you and your children.
