Booked by 4 families in Lafayette, CA

Hello! I’m Marisol. I’ve helped raise my two younger siblings and have worked at a church for the past year, caring for multiple children at a time, ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years, including many children on the spectrum. I’ve also volunteered at the Oakland Zoo’s summer camp where I helped supervise groups of 20+ children during tours and lessons. I’m also bilingual (English and Spanish)! I’m an avid sports fan and athlete, participating in both boxing and flag football. I truly enjoy working with children and can guarantee that I will always do my very best to care for your child. I’m very hands-on and love engaging with kids, whether it’s sitting on the ground for tummy time or running around playing tag. I would love to learn more about your child’s unique personality and specific needs so I can support them in the best way possible. Feel free to ask any questions!!

“Marisol was great! She was very punctual and actually got here a few mins early both times. She was sweet, caring and engaging with our son, and our son absolutely loved her!”

Booked by 2 families in Lafayette, CA

Away from the Bay until May 27th! I'll be back and available to book again on 5/27/2026. My CV: sites.google.com/view/minervalerner/cv I'm passionate about childcare and education, and have worked in daycare, preschool, and elementary school and summer camp settings. I've taught and provided care for children ages 2-10; I've also been involved with animals since childhood as a city shelter volunteer and foster caregiver for both cats and dogs. Most recently I've been trained through In-Home Social Services (IHSS) as a live-in caregiver for an elderly adult, assisting in both medical care and daily home maintenance tasks. I'm thoroughly organized (a total neat freak!) and ready to assume a supporting role (having worked as an assistant teacher/caregiver more often than in leading positions). Your little ones' safety and well-being are my top priorities, second only to your own peace of mind – I know how hard it can be to juggle household needs, and I'll take on whatever tasks necessary with enthusiasm!

Cyrus $30 per hour for 1 child

Hiya!!!! My name is Ashé (Cyrus) 🤓👋🏾 I’m a calm caregiver with 2+ years of childcare experience with kiddos aged 3–14. I am certified in CPR + First Aid training for children, infants, and adults, Mandated Reporter certified, Registered Behavior Technician, and Physical Safety certified. I’ve got a background in theater so I love jumping into play! Making up stories, going with the flow, matching high energy, or calmly reading are all facets of the environments I like to create. My approach to childcare is compassion-based and neurodiversity-informed and I seek to ensure all kids under my care feel safe, understood, and engaged! Hope to talk soon and please let me know if there are any questions I could answer! 😁
