$34 per hour for 1 child
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 1 family in Lafayette, CA

Hi my name is Dessie. I have experience with babysitting children and dogs. I have past experience with childcare and also currently babysit from time to time. I used to work as a childcare facilitator, where I would do arts and crafts, learning activities, prepared snacks and schedule downtime for the littles. I currently babysit when time allows it and love to do art projects and fun creative sensory games with pantry foods. I also encourage to meet before babysitting to ensure it is a good fit. My experience with dogs has been in a span of several years whether is walking, dog sitting, or just taking care of my own. I have a dog of my own that is very sweet and gentle. In the past I would dog sit for a lot of friends and would also do dog walking for strangers (through dog-walking app) from time to time. I have always loved dogs and have been volunteering at shelters here are there. Outside of childcare and dog care. I work an administrative job for an environmental sustainable company. I often spend my down time rock climbing, running and organizing/ cleaning spaces. I thrive in an environment where I can organize and clean. Often if I am babysitting or dog sitting I will clean the home as much as I can when asked to. If that’s not something you’d like I will respect your space and home but will definitely clean after your pup or child. I know it’s tough finding someone to trust to be in your home and take care of your loved ones so I also encourage that having a nanny cam or pet cam to check in is a good way to have a piece of mind and am always open to any suggestions or constructive criticisms. If you have any questions please reach out. Thank you!

“I cannot recommend Dessrie highly enough when it comes to caring for dogs. She is not only patient, attentive, and deeply responsible, but she also has a natural connection with animals that puts both pets and their owners at ease. What stands out most about Dessrie is the level of trust you can place in her. She is dependable, communicative, and treats every dog as if they were her own. Whether it’s ensuring their safety, giving them the right amount of exercise, or providing plenty of love and attention, she goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly great with dogs, Dessrie is the person you can count on without hesitation”

Alexis $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Alexis and I’m from Oakland! I am currently taking a gap year from UC Berkeley while getting my certifications to become a certified personal trainer. During my free time I enjoy weight lifting, reading, baking, and anything music related. I also love animals, especially dogs :) I have 2+ years experience working with school aged kids through internships such as summer camps and at Highland Hospital. Moreover, I have 1.5 years experience as a babysitter/nanny. I’m also the oldest sibling in my family with a pretty big age gap between my siblings and I, so I grew up taking care of them very often! I am also CPR/AED certified. I believe it’s important to create a safe, stimulating, and stable environment for all children. As a result, I deeply value clear communication and empathy in a work space. Please reach out if you have any questions :)

Hi there! Looking for families that need a date night sitter or occasional coverage etc! My name is Claudia and I have been nannying full time for years. I am a nanny/caregiver and a family assistant as well as a certified lifeguard + swim instructor (First Aid and CPR certifications valid) and animal lover!! I am college educated as well (CCSF and SSU). I’m here to make your life easier, so that you can have a worry free night out or work day! I have lots experience working with very busy families with siblings that need to be picked up and driven to various activities, helping with homework, running errands, meal prep, organizing, laundry, bath time, feeding pets and juggling schedules and medical appointments! I will always make sure your children are having fun (playing games, art, sport activities) and are safe at all times, ensuring smooth pickups and drop offs so that they can arrive to their activities/extracurriculars on time safely, and effortlessly. I’m reliable and enjoy taking care of children & teaching, I love swimming and tennis. I have been working with children since I was 14. I’m fun, passionate, attentive, bubbly, responsible and caring. I speak fluent (as well as reading and writing fluently) French, English, Spanish and some Italian. I promise that your children will have a great time with me as their safety first nanny! I have my own car and I’m a very safe driver!

I’m Kat! I’m 22, studying music at Diablo Valley College. I’ve been working as a paid babysitter for four years (and unpaid for about sixteen!). Growing up with four siblings (and many more little cousins) means lots of helping out with the little ones, so I have lots of experience. I love working with kids, and have a couple cats at home—so I’m thrilled to help you!
