Find a last-minute babysitter in Danville, CA

Hello! I am a proactive, responsible and dedicated nanny, family assistant and household manager. I have 10 plus years of recent professional experience, excellent references, letters of recommendation, and I am currently looking for evening jobs! I love adventuring with kids or interactive playtime at home. I enjoy going for hikes in nature, walks to the park, library or museums, spotting airplanes, wildlife, flowers, great books and art. I also like playing games and doing arts and crafts, building lego creations & forts, playing with dolls and animals, or reading books with hot cocoa on a rainy day. A simple peek-a-boo session, singing ABC’s, practicing counting or tummy time for the little ones:) I have experience providing support with school drop off/pick up, driving children to and from after school activities, homework assistance, as well as household chores, preparing snacks & meals, doing laundry, running errands, dog walking, traveling with the family and overnight care. In addition, I have experience managing and assisting with household inventory, scheduling appointments and communicating with contractors, housekeepers or caterers, organizing closets and calendars, and managing packing lists and travel preparations. I am discreet and respectful of a family’s privacy when needed and yet I welcome sharing a meal with them when invited. I am flexible enough to calmly transition from meal prep to children to dishes and back to children again:) I am very healthy and live an active lifestyle outside of work. I am close to completing an associate in arts degree for transfer. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Hi! I’m Julia, a professional nanny with over 10 years of experience supporting families and caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of São Paulo and over 12 Early Childhood Education credits, which have helped me develop a strong foundation in child development, communication, and creative learning. I’ve worked with a wide range of families, including those with infants (starting as early as 4 months), premature twins, toddlers, and multiple siblings. My experience includes everything from bottle feeding, sleep training, and potty learning to creating educational play activities, supporting developmental milestones and organizing enriching outings. I’ve also navigated food allergies, maintained structured routines and provided overnight care when needed. I believe in a gentle, respectful approach while holding firm and loving boundaries and I love fostering independence, curiosity, and confidence in every child I care for. What I love most about nannying is forming deep, trusting relationships with the children and families I work with. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch little ones grow and thrive in a safe, nurturing environment where they feel seen, supported, and celebrated. I aim to be a calm, steady presence in a family’s life. Someone who brings joy, structure and a helping hand whenever it's needed. A little about me: I live in Walnut Creek with my wife and two dogs. I’m fluent in both English and Portuguese, have a clean driving record and am certified in First Aid and CPR. Outside of work, I enjoy photography, cooking, hiking, and hosting friends for game nights or home-cooked meals. I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can support your child’s growth, happiness, and daily routine. Looking forward to connecting!

My name is Marisa. I have a 6 month old daughter. I am 38 years old. I have always had a love for working with children. I am also a birth and postpartum doula. I am a lifeguard, as well as a swim instructor. I have completed all of my Early Childhood Education units. I have 38 ECE units. I have my teaching credentials through California. I have worked with special needs children as well. I I am trust line certified. I love animals of all kinds. I also own a pet sitting and dog walking business. I love doing arts & crafts, play dates, hiking, organizing, photography, painting, swimming, laughing, playing dress up, eating healthy, Zumba, hiking, cooking, baking, traveling, ice skating, dancing, and having a good time. I have a very safe and reliable vehicle that I have transported many children in. I have a clean driving record. I'm a non smoker/ non drug user. I feel its most important to truly engage with the children rather then just sitting them in front of a television. I do ask when contacting me and booking me for a particular job that you let me know ahead of time if there is any issue in regards to where to park. CANCELLATION POLICY: I plan my time and budget around the hours booked, I am aware that things come up from time to time, and I am very understanding of this, so if its less then a week notice for cancellation I do ask that I be paid for 50% of my time that was booked. It's hard to fill last minute gigs. Thank you.

*at this time I am not accepting new families but will update if that changes!* Hi there, my name is Eva and I am 27 years old. I first graduated from college in 2021, where I obtained my degree in political science, and have completed my second degree in psychology. I have always enjoyed and excelled at working with children. For two years, I have worked with children aged infant to Kindergarten in a daycare setting and am a fully qualified childcare teacher in the state of California. Most of my time is spent with the toddler (12 to 23 months) age group, but I have experience in classrooms with children up to age 6. Additionally, I have about 4 years of volunteer experience with preschool and lower elementary aged children in both a formal and summer camp setting. I have worked with families both on and off Urban Sitter for 3 years, with children ranging in age from 1 to 10 years old. The opportunity to impart knowledge and bring joy to children, or even be a playmate, is a rewarding experience - I believe children can be our teachers too. I understand how crucial it is that you feel comfortable with the person taking care of your children - and I would be happy to speak further, answer any questions, or tell you more about myself.
