Find a last-minute babysitter in Diablo, CA

Hi, my name is Elysia, and I am currently a senior at UCLA. I have a passion for working with children and serving our youth in any way I can. Kids truly bring so much joy to life, and I love connecting with them while supporting their growth, confidence, and creativity. I hope to not only be a caregiver, but also a positive mentor and role model for the children I work with. I have hands on experience working at the Boys & Girls Club, where I formulated weekly lesson plans that encouraged student participation through interactive activities and creative projects. I focused fun and engaging learning experiences while fostering an environment where children felt safe to express themselves and develop critical thinking skills. Creating a supportive and welcoming space was always my top priority. Through this role, I demonstrated strong leadership and mentorship by guiding students in personal growth, helping them set attainable goals, and motivating them through positive reinforcement and recognition of their accomplishments. This approach helped increase their self confidence and enthusiasm toward both academics and daily life. I also implemented structured daily routines to provide consistency, while maintaining a warm, caring, and positive attitude when working with both individuals and groups of children. Overall, I strive to ensure a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and inspired to be their best selves. I truly love working with kids and feel grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives.

Hello I'm Laura. Recently returned from living abroad for several years. I am an educator and creative person by trade. I offer child care, senior care and pet care. Before becoming a teacher and trainer I babysat, took care of my elderly father and held various office jobs. Currently, between teaching jobs in public and private sector (primary , secondary and adult learners) I also help care for my elderly mother. I grew up with a dog and cats. Therefore, I'm comfortable caring for both children, seniors and pets. I also love animals. I have two cats and I'm not allergic to dogs, I love them too. When I have free time I volunteer, write, create artistic cards and try to learn something new every three -six months. I also use public transport to move around. If my profile fits your needs reach I'd love to hear from you. A presto, Laura

I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny, caring for children of all ages, including infants. I’ve also worked as an RBT and a math tutor, which strengthened my skills in behavior support, patience, and teaching. I’m responsible, nurturing, and create a safe, engaging environment while supporting routines and development. I have excellent references and am known for being reliable and attentive to each family’s needs.

Hello, I'm Yeca. I have experience taking care of children of different ages and I currently take care of two girls of 1 year and a half and 3 years old. I am an honest, independent person and I quickly learn the routines that each family has with their children. I love spending time with children, playing, reading stories to them and helping them in their development with patience and affection. I speak Spanish and I can also communicate in basic English. As I am new to this app, I offer an extra 30 free minutes in which I can help you with light household chores, such as the dishwasher or anything else you need. My goal is for them to feel calm and satisfied with my work.

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.
