Find a last-minute babysitter in Lafayette, CA

Hi! I'm a part-time student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for working with children. I spent several years as a camp counselor working with special needs children through high school and college, which gave me a deep appreciation for patient, attentive, and individualized care. I have a background in engineering which means I'm reliable, detail oriented, and great at problem solving. I also grew up in a Chinese household with Mandarin as my first language, which I'm happy to incorporate naturally into our time together if that's something your family values. I'm calm, warm, and genuinely enjoy engaging with kids through play, creative activities, reading, and exploring. I believe every child deserves to feel seen and supported. I have a pediatric CPR, AED and first aid certification, and am taking child development courses. I’m happy to provide references :)

My name is Nina, and I am from Sacramento, CA. I am an alumni Psychology major from Menlo College. While attending Menlo College, I also played on the collegiate women's soccer team. I love outdoors and athletics. I currently work as a recruiting coordinator at Menlo College, but before that I worked at SJND High School as an Academic Success Coach. Working at SJND has helped me learn so many new things contributing to my career as a caregiver. I have a true passion for working with children and I am so excited about the opportunity to meet new families and create a relationship with kids. I hope to hear from you :)

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! :)

Hey 👋🏽 I’m Devin, a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with a unique background that blends professional leadership and hands-on childcare experience. I’ve spent the past few months coaching middle school basketball, where I mentor 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade girls and help them build confidence, teamwork, and resilience. Before that, I honed my leadership and organizational skills over 9.5 years in the tech industry as a Product Support and Customer Care Manager. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve spent over four years as a Camp Coach and Gym Director at Legarza Sports Camps, working with children of all ages to foster their growth and development in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I was also the JV Head Coach at Marin Catholic High School for two years, further solidifying my ability to connect with kids and teens while encouraging them to reach their full potential. Beyond my formal roles, I’m often the go-to babysitter for friends and family, caring for children from infancy to their teenage years. I bring a warm, caring, and engaging personality that puts people of all ages at ease, so much so that even strangers feel comfortable sharing their stories with me. Whether working with kids, teens, or seniors, I approach caregiving with empathy, patience, and a sense of fun. I love creating meaningful connections and tailoring my approach to meet each individual’s unique needs. From planning engaging activities for children to offering companionship and support to seniors, I take pride in making those I care for feel valued and comfortable. I bring a diverse set of skills, including cooking, cleaning, basketball training, and even website consulting, but I’m always open to discussing and adapting to meet the unique needs of your loved ones. If you’re looking for someone who combines reliability, kindness, and a natural ability to connect, I’d be honored to help care for your loved ones 🤗

Certified birth and postpartum doula, as well as nanny guru! I have had the opportunity to live and travel throughout South America as a former Sr. Brand Manager for Avon Cosmetics. Due to this career I was able to pick up two more languages. I speak fluently: English, Portuguese, and I am a native Spanish speaker. I hold a Bachelors degree in Marketing more recently got my MBA and more than 20 years of experience working within an executive setting. I am now married with a 12 years old son who is simply my pride and joy. Having a child has been the most fantastic experience in my life and I enjoy every second of the responsibility. When children are babies or toddlers they have the ability to absorb so much knowledge. We should take advantage of this opportunity and teach them all that we can. It is such a joy to see the expression on a child’s face when they experience something new for the first time. As a mom, I know how precious our kids are, so I make sure to always be prepared for any situation. I'm charismatic, playful, loving, honest, responsible, organized, clean and thoughtful. I’ve learned how to diversify my cooking for almost any child’s taste buds. Certified in CPR and First Aid as well as bass experience with special need children. I have different Certifications: Birth and Postpartum Doula, Breastfeeding and Child early development counselor and Perinatal Nutrition Educator. My style of babysitting is to work on teaching daily routines, staying creative, and making every visit memorable and fun. And nowadays I work in a Foundation that helps Seniors which has being a great experience too. I make sure meals are balanced - veggies-fruits-cereal and protein, but at the end they are kids and we need to find fun ways to make there meals appealing, fun and different. I have worked with many different families outside of urbansitter, caring for children (boys and girls) from premise/newborns to 15 years old kids. I have references immediately available upon request. I look forward to meeting your family, and becoming a valuable resource when you need a responsible and experienced professional child sitter.
