Breanna 2 reviews

$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.”

Hello! My name is Margaret! I’m new here, and excited to start my part time position becoming your house sitter, cleaner, or pet sitter. I can also pick up kids from school, do laundry or errands and things of that nature. I can provide people who can attest that I am trustworthy, kind, and that I learn very quickly! I am super diligent and hardworking and most of all, focused. Hope to talk to you soon!
“Margaret has been a fantastic helper for our family. She's always punctual and reliable. She works really hard and takes directions well. She takes on any new household task that we throw her way with enthusiasm. We are very happy to have found her and grateful for her support.”

Hi! My name is Nia and I currently work in tech as a marketer. I have experience working as a teacher assistant in Montessori schools with children aged 6 months to 5 years, as well as other various babysitting jobs. I can provide homework help, transportation to activities, crafts, and outdoor activities. I play soccer and the piano, so I can also help your child enrich their skills in either.

a mother myself, I bring both personal understanding and hands-on experience in caring for children of all ages. I truly enjoy engaging kids in meaningful ways-whether through reading, painting, games, outdoor activities, or simply supporting their daily routines with patience and care. Families describe me as loving, reliable, and attentive. I'm also highly organized, a strong multitasker, and always punctual. Beyond childcare, I'm a dedicated yoga practitioner, naturally caring, and an animal lover. With excellent references available, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for your children.
“Jessica is INCREDIBLE. She’s a mother herself and so taking care of children is natural, intuitive, and she genuinely loves and cares for kids. She handled the full morning routine for my 3 kids when I was out of town, including driving them to school, and knocked it out of the park. We’ve had her support multiple times since. She is warm and lovely to be around. Jessica is truly a gem!”
