Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

My name is Rocio. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Caring for children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have worked in both professional educational settings and as a nanny, helping children grow, learn, and feel safe and supported. I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families. Many of the children I have cared for have remained an important part of my life, and I am honored by the bonds we have created over the years. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, patient, energetic, and highly engaging. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences for children while also providing structure, consistency, and encouragement. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, exploring outdoors, or simply being a trusted adult in a child’s life, I genuinely love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, spending time with family, and being outdoors. I am outgoing, cheerful, and bring positive energy wherever I go.

Our kids ask Rocio to come back every day. That tells one a lot - kids are picky (at least mine 3&5 year old)

Booked by 7 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi families! My name is Yasmin. I am a 30 year old childcare professional with 10 years of experience. My passion for working with children began at home as the oldest of four siblings–my youngest brother is only 7, and watching them grow has been a inspiration for my career. My professional journey began in 2017 during an exchange program in Switzerland, where I cared for a child from birth through age two. I later moved to the U.S. as an Au Pair, caring for three girls (ages 16 months, 4, and 6). Since then, I’ve continued working with families while consistently building and improving my skills. I am a certified postpartum doula and maintain CPR/First Aid certification for infants and children every two years. I have hands-on experience with feeding, diapering, and soothing newborns, including overnight care as a nighttime nanny. I’m also confident caring for babies who are learning to crawl or walk, and I enjoy encouraging their development through gentle play and interaction. In addition, I have experience with toddlers and school-aged children, supporting everything from potty training and homework help to meal prep and bedtime routines. I’ve also worked with children on the autism spectrum. I would love to bring my experience, flexibility, and positive energy to your family. I’m pet-friendly and have a valid driver’s license. I look forward to connecting with you!

Yasmin was great with our 4-year-old daughter. Our usually shy daughter was sad when Yasmin had to leave and ran up to give her a big hug goodbye. Highly recommend.

Hello My name is Denny, native Spanish , I am from Colombia, mom of two boys and I am looking for nice family in need of some help with their child/children, as mature mother I knowhow much love they need. For years I have been helping families taking care of their Kids and learning Spanish as second language. I enjoy of their company while I keep them safe and happy. I live in Concord, but have no problem going to neighboring cities if the job requires me to do so. I am available full time and even certain weekends. Whether the help you need are recurring days or just random days I would love to help. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested if you are interested, I'd be happy to answer any more questions you may have. thanks so much Denny

Stop right here and hire Denny if looking for reliability, true nanny professionalism, and genuine care for the children she cares for. We are a family with two toddler girls and we were struggling to find a reliable nanny. We hired Denny and never looked back- she was with us for two years and we had several trial babysitter nanny experiences before finding her on urbansitter. She is experienced and has been the only reliable and trustworthy childcare candidate we have found in our area. As a mother herself and long time nanny, she sees things that I didn’t and ALWAYS accommodated our family with our wild schedule. She was truly a God sent and we will miss her dearly. She is definitely family and my girls love the Spanish they learned with her. Denny has reliable transportation and did not have any other factors preventing her from committing 100% to our needs.

Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi! When I came to this country, I always dreamt of working with kids, but I found whatever job I could. I am now at a point where I can do what I love. I have three grandchildren (ages 11, 9 & 8) and I was their primary care taker since they were born, while working my other job. I can’t explain how much I’ve enjoyed it. I am not the best with technology & sometimes my English isn’t as quick (it’s at a 75%), but I use all my resources & can figure it all out. I take my job seriously and am very cautious & devoted to it. If given cthe opportunity, you won’t regret it. And I love pet too…I work with a family in the mornings (7:00-10:00)

Booked by 3 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi! My name is Jenice and I’m a student at UC Berkeley. I absolutely love being around kids and have over 6 years of experience watching ages 2 months-10 years old. I also have both a 2 year old and newborn baby sister so I'm very comfortable caring for little ones! I’m happy to provide a reference from a family I've worked with for 2 years (2 year old, 5 year old). My responsibilities have included picking up/driving to school and extracurriculars, keeping them entertained at home or going out, tutoring/homework help, and morning/bedtime routines including meals. I’m very attentive and always carry a positive and empathetic attitude. I love to play imaginatively, do crafts, play sports, go to the park, watch movies, and play board games, or anything else they enjoy within their parents boundaries. I love to lend a helping hand and can clean/cook as well! I’m a huge animal lover and have 3 dogs! So I'd love to dog walk/pet sit too!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
