Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

I’m a caring, loving, patient, and honest person who truly enjoys helping people of all ages grow in every aspect of life emotionally, mentally, and physically. I’ve worked in daycares and also have years of experience as an independent babysitter, helping with homework, preparing lunches, dinners, and occasionally breakfast. I also assist with light housekeeping, running errands, and I’m always open and eager to learn new responsibilities to better support each family's needs. I’ve cared for seniors as well, offering companionship, preparing meals, sorting medication, and keeping their living spaces clean and comfortable. I'm outgoing and dependable, and I approach every caregiving situation with empathy and respect. I’m also great with animals. I'm a proud dog owner myself, so I understand how important pets are to a family. Being a caregiver brings me joy because it allows me to build meaningful connections while making a positive impact in others' lives. I take pride in being someone people can count on.

Paris was very sweet, she came with a few gifts for my daughter and pets. My daughter had a great time with her.

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.

Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

Hello! I’m currently looking to offer support with child care, senior care, household help or pet services. I am located in Oakland! I have over 10 years of babysitting experience and recently became an aunt! I worked for 4 years in Vietnam teaching English and cooking classes to children of all ages! I also have more than 5 years of senior care experience. I cared for a senior neighbor during her final years, as well as my grandfather who lived with my family. I truly value spending time with seniors. Around the house, I’m happy to help with chores, organization, decluttering and cleaning — I love to bring some calm to a once hectic space! And as a pet parent to three cats, I love pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing or taking your pets for a walk, I’d enjoy doing it all. In my free time, I enjoy sewing, knitting, and working on DIY projects — I love anything creative and hands-on. I also make time for outdoor exercise, whether it’s hiking, biking, or just soaking up some sunshine. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your day a little easier. Monica

Extremely professional. Really helpful. Reliable and autonomous with appropriate level of inclusion

I am nany with years of experience I speak Spanish and intermediate level of English. I know how to cook and prepare snacks. I know drive car and I have a license. I have cpr certified. I have focused on Montessori education and respectful parenting. My available schedule at the moment is 8:30am to 5:30 pm and then from 7pm to 10pm I am very clear that the most important thing is attention to your children, care and that they have moments of fun. I also understand the independence of some children and that others need a more sensitive caregiver who listens to them and is present in the moment. I am the childcare provider who is involved in play and activities.

"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)."
