Booked by 25 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi, I'm Sarah! I am offering child care and household services. I have 7 years of experience providing private childcare. I've worked with infants, toddlers, and children up to 11 years old. (One of them told me I get along well with kids because I'm a child at heart, LOL) I have a nursing education background, and currently working at UCSF, Cancer Research Department. I am also more than happy to watch dogs, cats, or any animal you might have. The more the merrier! :)

“Sarah was a breath of fresh of fresh air! Sarah came to look after my 3 year old daughter all day when she had an ear infection and was home from school. I could immediately tell she was such a warm person, and she engaged with my daughter right away. She played with her, fed her lunch, put her down for nap and played more. When my daughter was napping, Sarah organized all of the toys in the playroom into drawers, assembled a new easel for my kids, and helped my daughter do a painting project when she woke up. Sarah is such a sweet person, was prompt, communicative, and a joy to have here. We would love to hire her again! ”

Booked by 12 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi families! I'm María, an Elementary Teacher from Spain with over 12 years of experience working with children of all ages—from newborns to teens. Over the years, I’ve been a babysitter, camp counselor, activity leader, and spent a wonderful year as an au pair here in California—an experience that made me fall in love with the Bay Area, where I now live! I’m passionate about creating a positive, safe, and fun environment where kids feel happy, supported, and free to be themselves. Whether it’s playing, helping with homework, guiding routines, or simply being a caring presence, I always adapt to each child’s needs and personality. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I love to bring creativity, communication, and even a little language learning into our time together. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and anything that makes your family’s day smoother. If you're looking for someone experienced, warm, and genuinely dedicated to kids of all ages, I’d love to meet you!

“Maria is incredible with my kids. She understands them so well, and she built rapport with them so fast. She is very understanding of their hard moments, too. I recommend her super highly—she’s one of the best caretakers we’ve worked with before.”

Booked by 98 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi there! I am a graduate from USF with a background in healthcare and a Micro-Credential in Behavioral Health. With over 10 years of experience working with children in daycare settings and ABA (applied behavior analysis), specializing in kids with autism, I am well-equipped to provide care for your little ones. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids and teenagers, and I am passionate about engaging them in fun and enriching activities both indoors and outdoors. I am CPR/BSL certified, up-to-date on my FLU vaccine and TB test, and fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I prioritize open communication and honesty with the families I work with, and I am always willing to lend a helping hand with light household tasks. I do provide more help for additional fees; please ask about this, and we can discuss further. Whether it's a day full of outdoor adventures or indoor activities like reading, puzzles, and arts and crafts, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your children (I have little nephews and a niece so I think about how I would want them cared for and provide that level of care to children I work with). I am comfortable wearing a mask if needed and am happy to accommodate any special requests or concerns you may have. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am excited to connect with your family and provide the best possible care for your little ones. Thank you for considering me for your babysitting needs!

“Luisa was great. She was so easy to communicate with and coordinate with and very sweet and helpful with my kids. ”

Hi! I'm Yalili. I bring a warm, structured approach to childcare—whether it's story time, arts and crafts, or helping with routines. I'm bilingual (English/Spanish), patient, and attentive to each child's unique personality and needs. I also love encouraging little ones' curiosity and supporting busy parents however I can. Whether you're looking for someone part-time, occasional, or backup care, I’d love to support your family with love, structure, and reliability.

Hi. My name is Pamela and I have been a childcare provider for over 20 years. When I moved to the Bay Area in 1989, I worked at St. Johns Infant -Toddler Center. From there, I moved to working with preschoolers then finally, I got my teaching credential. I have been working with elementary school children in Oakland since 1993. I love spending time with kids. I make up weekend field trips with my students and dream of having my own weekend outing association for kids in the future. I enjoy taking kids to parks, making up crazy songs and stories and basically being creative. I always bring new, fun things for kids to engage with- clay, cool pop-up books, spinning toys... I feel very comfortable with children and it's mutual. I don't believe in plopping kids in front of a screen when I babysit. I engage them in fun activities and make sure they are never bored. I believe in eating healthy and try to support families if they have that same belief. Go out, have fun and know that your children are in competent hands!
