Nessa 5 reviews
Lafayette
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Vanessa, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teens. For the past 6 years, I've been with my current family full-time during the week. On weekends, I regularly help other families in Lafayette, providing childcare, doing overnights with the kids, and sometimes even dog sitting! I'm bilingual (English and Portuguese), CPR certified, and very flexible with scheduling. I'm also planning to move from my family's home by end of December and be based in San Francisco, so I'll be looking for a full-time position by then! I'm patient, responsible, and truly love what I do. I create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel supported. I'm happy to follow household routines. I'm also interested in becoming a certified doula to support growing families even more. I have many great references available upon request so fell free to reach out-I'd love to connect!

I cannot recommend Nessa highly enough! She is incredibly capable and dependable. Always showing up on time and ready to care for our children with genuine warmth and attentiveness. She is extremely responsible and trustworthy, which gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. She clearly loves working with children and treats them with patience, kindness, and respect. She also respects our parenting style and household boundaries, which we deeply appreciate. She’s become my go-to person whenever I need someone; whether it’s a last-minute change or a planned night out, I know I can count on her. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and caring to turn to. In addition to being wonderful with the kids, she keeps everything neat and organized and even prepares delicious, healthy meals. Her cooking is a bonus we didn’t expect, and the kids love it! It’s so hard to find good sitters nowadays, but we feel so lucky to have her as part of our lives. She’s truly awesome!

Susie Pleasant Hill
$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hi, there! I am an authentically enthusiastic, welcoming, & dedicated experiential education professional, skilled in making joyful and meaningful connections with others, particularly children & youth. I have over 20 years experience working with children and youth in outdoor education, 3.5 years experience as a private nanny (ages 1-4), and 13 years experience as a mom (successfully raising 2 children since birth). :-) I have a B.A. and M.S. in Recreation (with a focus on youth programming), I have an active Wilderness First Responder certification (advanced medical training), and I drive groups of students regularly for outdoor excursions. I am equally passionate about outdoor education and early childhood development, so nature play/exploration is an integral part of my nanny care! Outdoor education focuses on learning through experience, saying “yes” to try, and being curious about the world around us. I am creative, dedicated, easy-going, and a self-starter yet love working as a team. In addition to outdoor exploration, I integrate songs, art, baking, and field trips (e.g., zoos) into my work with children, and I bring a global perspective of having visited 17 countries. I would love to explore this opportunity to work with you and your precious little one(s)!

Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hi! My name is Yoselyn. I am from Peru and I speak Spanish and English. I have over 8 years of experience working with children through volunteering, babysitting, and childcare support. I am very patient, caring, honest, and responsible. I have taken childcare and infant care courses, and I am trained in first aid. I have also participated in volunteer work with children, which strengthened my passion for childcare. I truly enjoy supporting children's development and helping them learn, explore, and grow in a safe and positive environment. I always prioritize children's safety and emotional well-being. I am looking for a respectful and safe environment where I can support families and be part of children's daily routine. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, watching movies, riding my bike, exploring new places, and hiking. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, care, and positive energy to your family and support your children's growth.

Yoselyn was great with my baby. She was always caring, patient, and dependable. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a kind and trustworthy nanny.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
