$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hello! My name is Jenna and I have been working with children for over 15 years. Most of my experience has been with infants and toddlers, but I enjoy working with kids of all ages. I also have experience working with special needs, and my background in Nursing has aided me in nannying for children with Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, and Autism. When I am babysitting, I enjoy taking kids to a local park, doing crafts, or cooking up something tasty! In my free time, I enjoy hiking and camping.

“Jenna is an amazing caregiver. My son had so much fun with her and we will definitely book her again! She did a lot of fun activities with him and when I showed up he was even wearing one of the costumes he loves. Highly recommend ”

Booked by 7 families in Lafayette, CA

Hi! My name is Yasmine. I have hands-on experience working with children as a daycare assistant, where I helped with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and nap schedules. I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where kids can feel supported and thrive. I'm currently taking a class to become a hairstylist and working on getting my CPR and First Aid certification. I'm always looking to grow and learn new skills—especially ones that help me care for others. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, spending time with my family, and deepening my relationship with God. I also love animals and would be happy to help care for family pets! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy caregiving—whether it’s for children, seniors, or pets. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make your child’s day a little brighter!

“Yasmine is wonderful. She was so engaging and confident with our kids and jumped right in to get to know them and play with them. Our toddlers really loved having her here. And she tidied up our home too. She has a very calm and caring presence. We will definitely be reaching out to Yasmine again in the future.”

"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."

"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)."
