Afsana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello there, My name is Afsana—just like it’s spelled! A fun fact about my name is that it means fairytale or story, which I think is a perfect way to connect with children. Taking care of children is not as easy as many people think, but it’s something that has always come naturally to me. I’m the second oldest of seven siblings, so growing up I often took on the role of a second mom—making sure everyone was safe, supported, and taken care of. That experience helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a deep understanding of children. Another fun fact about me is that I work in the dental health field, mainly with kids. I work in a pediatric dental and orthodontic office, so you might occasionally hear me talk about dental health—please excuse me if I do! While I may not have formal childcare certifications, I have years of real-life experience caring for children and building meaningful connections with them. I enjoy engaging with kids through books, movies, games, and everyday activities. I truly believe that when you’re around children, you have to be a kid at heart. That’s how they feel comfortable opening up, being themselves, and sharing their little adventures with you. Many people have told me that I’m a “child whisperer” because of how naturally I connect with kids. I love their curiosity and I’m always happy to answer the thousand questions they tend to have. If I have the opportunity to babysit your child, I will always prioritize their safety, health, and happiness. Childhood is such a special time, and I believe those experiences stay with children for the rest of their lives. I would do my best to make sure your child feels safe, supported, and has a wonderful time. Thank you for your time and consideration.

$37 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 46 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi, my name is Knar. I was born and raised in San Francisco and currently live in Oakland, with no issues commuting into the city. I have over 15 years of childcare experience and am deeply passionate about providing nurturing, dependable care that supports children’s growth, confidence, and development. My background includes three years working in a daycare setting and twelve years as a full-time nanny, giving me hands-on experience with children across a wide range of ages and stages. I value building close, trusting relationships with both children and parents and take pride in being a steady, supportive presence in a family’s life. My childcare philosophy centers on creating a safe, loving environment with clear structure, consistency, and care so children feel secure and encouraged as they grow. I am family-oriented, patient, respectful, and highly communicative, and I believe open and honest communication is the foundation of a strong partnership. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light household tasks such as baby laundry and dishes, introducing solids, supporting developmental milestones, and tailoring care to each child’s unique needs. Availability update: I have a full-time position and am not currently available, but I appreciate you taking the time to view my profile.
