Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

Away from the Bay until May 27th! I'll be back and available to book again on 5/27/2026. My CV: sites.google.com/view/minervalerner/cv I'm passionate about childcare and education, and have worked in daycare, preschool, and elementary school and summer camp settings. I've taught and provided care for children ages 2-10; I've also been involved with animals since childhood as a city shelter volunteer and foster caregiver for both cats and dogs. Most recently I've been trained through In-Home Social Services (IHSS) as a live-in caregiver for an elderly adult, assisting in both medical care and daily home maintenance tasks. I'm thoroughly organized (a total neat freak!) and ready to assume a supporting role (having worked as an assistant teacher/caregiver more often than in leading positions). Your little ones' safety and well-being are my top priorities, second only to your own peace of mind – I know how hard it can be to juggle household needs, and I'll take on whatever tasks necessary with enthusiasm!

Cyrus $30 per hour for 1 child

Hiya!!!! My name is Ashé (Cyrus) 🤓👋🏾 I’m a calm caregiver with 2+ years of childcare experience with kiddos aged 3–14. I am certified in CPR + First Aid training for children, infants, and adults, Mandated Reporter certified, Registered Behavior Technician, and Physical Safety certified. I’ve got a background in theater so I love jumping into play! Making up stories, going with the flow, matching high energy, or calmly reading are all facets of the environments I like to create. My approach to childcare is compassion-based and neurodiversity-informed and I seek to ensure all kids under my care feel safe, understood, and engaged! Hope to talk soon and please let me know if there are any questions I could answer! 😁

Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hi, I'm Lena! I was born and raised in San Francisco and am now a sophomore at UC Berkeley studying Political Economy and Global Studies with a minor in Business. I love getting kids moving, whether that's a walk to the park, a dance party in the living room, or time outside. I'm very comfortable in the kitchen, so I'm happy to make a healthy snack or dinner and turn cooking into a fun activity. I also love tidying and will make sure the house is in great condition before parents are home! I have a younger sister and I have spent a lot of time babysitting her and her friends. I also have 4 baby cousins that I look after. I have experience with all ages and I am looking for possible reoccurring and one time care jobs. Parents can count on me to be punctual, responsible, in close communication, and to stick to your family's routines. I'd love to meet your family and can't wait to hear from you!

“Really lovely! Punctual, good communication and engaged my son immediately.”

Leo 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hello! My name is Leo (he/him) and I am a PsyD student in Berkeley. I used to work as a paraeducator for both OUSD and AUSD before I became a full time student! I am currently/consistently babysitting for a family with a 3 year old whose primary language is Japanese. Responsibilities also include driving their child (with family’s car) to gymnastics, bring him to the park, potty training, bathing, and putting him to bed/naptime. I’ve also worked with high schoolers for 3 years and have been working with elementary schoolers for a little over a year. All of my coworkers and students would probably describe me as patient, easy going, and someone who has a good sense of humor :) I have also previously been certified as an EMT and worked as a vet tech for many years so I’ve definitely got the range of skills!

“Leo is everything we need - always on time, thorough with questions and prep, and knows how to go with the flow on everything. Leo has done everything from playing and reading with our toddler indoors, taking him to the park and on walks in the neighborhood, bike rides, bathing and dinner time, all the way to putting him down at bedtime. Our toddler takes to Leo very quickly every time and we are so grateful!”

Alexis 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Heyy! i’m Alexis, you can just call me Lexx. I genuinely enjoy babysitting because it gives me the chance to connect with kids, help them learn, and make their day a little more fun. I love creating a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged. Whether it's playing games, helping with homework, or just being a supportive presence, I find it incredibly rewarding to be part of a child's growth and happiness. Babysitting isn't just a job to me — it’s something I truly look forward to.

“Alexis is amazing with my 2 kids and all of my animals. I have 6 cats & 2 dogs and they all love her and so do my kids”
