Find a last-minute babysitter in Martinez, CA

Hello My name is Simone, I’m a 21 year old student who just graduated from Diablo valley College with a certification in early childhood education. My experience includes volunteering in a Montessori preschool and volunteering in an occupational therapy clinic for children with disabilities. The ages I have the most experience with are Preschoolers from ages 3-10. I also have babysitted a couple of clients in the past. I believe I am fit to be a babysitter because I like doing arts and crafts with the children and reading books to them. Some tasks that I am able to perform is helping with making meals, light household work, helping getting ready for bedtime, and homework help (if it’s not math). I also have a calm but clear demeanor when comes to working with challenging behavior. I can’t wait to meet you and your child!

Hi Families! My name is Gaby, and I’m currently offering occasional nanny/babysitting and mother’s helper support for families who need reliable, experienced extra hands. I am a stay-at-home mom and a professional nanny with over 8 years of dedicated childcare experience, specializing in infants and toddlers. Caring for children has always been a true passion of mine, and I’ve had the privilege of building long-term relationships with families who value consistency, trust, and quality care. My caregiving style is Montessori-inspired, with a strong focus on independence, creativity, and emotional security. I prioritize little to no screen time and believe in hands-on, engaging activities that support motor development, language growth, and confidence-building. Our time together often includes sensory play, music, outdoor exploration, practical life skills, and age-appropriate learning experiences. As a mom myself, I deeply understand how important it is to feel fully comfortable with the person caring for your child. I strive to create a calm, nurturing, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I am currently available for occasional care, date nights, backup care, and mother’s helper support. I work independently and am committed to providing focused, attentive care tailored to your family’s needs. I look forward to connecting and learning how I can support your family’s needs. Warmly, Gaby

Hi parents! My name is Stephanie. I have over 10 years of experience under my belt as a nanny/babysitter. I have a deep love for children and strongly believe in gentle parenting where patience, empathy, and respectful communication guide every interaction. I believe every child deserves the freedom to be their authentic self. I strive to support children by encouraging creativity, individuality, and emotional expression. My overall goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where children feel heard, confident, and are free to grow into their unique personalities.

Hi! I’m a warm, reliable, and bilingual caregiver with extensive experience working with children. I hold Montessori Early Childhood Education credits and previously worked as a Montessori preschool teacher for children ages 2–5, where I supported each child’s growth through hands-on learning, patience, and respect for their individuality. I am CPR certified and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel valued and supported. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and attentive. I enjoy helping children build confidence, independence, and a love of learning while providing parents with peace of mind that their little ones are in capable and compassionate hands.

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.
