Natalie  V., Babysitter in Lafayette, CA 94549 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊😊

JUSTIN C.

I have two younger children ages 4 and 6 and she has been fantastic. She has a lot of life experience with children and brings a very calm and confident approach to handling the children. With very little direction she quickly jumped into the flow of our morning routine and helps get the children up, fed, dress and drives them to school. She does multiple drop offs and I am very grateful that she is a very experienced driver. It was always a concern of mine that I would need to work with someone who could handle longer drives to multiple schools. I enjoy chatting with Teresa and am very thankful to be working with her.

Joanna H., Babysitter in Lafayette, CA 94549 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Joanna, I’m 27 years old and I’m excited to meet your little one(s). I would describe myself as attentive, caring, and very silly. I like to make arts and crafts, play board games, read, and enjoy nature. I’m able to help with homework and light house duties if needed. I’m CPR certified and I have a BLS. I have experience with children with disabilities. I’ve worked with children quite some time now, I started when I was 17 years old. I’ve worked with many different families (short term and long term). I’m very flexible with schedules and I’m comfortable with pets. I worked full time as a certified nursing assistant helping the elderly and nannying as a part time but I realized I enjoyed being a nanny more than my full time job. That is when I became a 1:1 aide at a school. I enjoy working with children because I love to see them learn and grow and they’re always such happy souls. Your children are guaranteed to be in good hands with me! :)

I’ve been babysitting for many years now, and I have a lot of experience with all ages. I get along great with kids and their parents, and my schedule is extremely flexible! I manage my time very well, and I respect the parents time as well so I would never be late. I am also a very clean person and was raised to clean up after myself, so I will make sure your house is in good condition as well!

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Danny (Daniela) caring for our 6-month-old son during our childcare gap. As first-time parents, it was nerve-wracking at first to let someone else take care of our baby, but within just a few days, she formed a beautiful bond with him. She treated him as if he were her own, with so much love, patience, and genuine care. Our son always seemed happy and safe with her, which meant everything to us. She is detail-oriented in everything she does — from following routines precisely to keeping his space organized and clean. She’s always reliable, on time, proactive, willing to help wherever needed, and consistently goes above and beyond without being asked. We trust her with our baby 100%. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their baby!

I was an Infant/Toddler Lead Teacher at a Fortune 100 company in San Francisco on the Embarcadero. I have been teaching for six years and have worked as a babysitter since my early teenage years. I am moving toward working with families on a long-term basis. I enjoy working with children and supporting the development of their learning skills through nurturing care and positive experiences in new environments with new friends. I love being silly and bringing joy through smiles and laughter. I am interested in learning more about this opportunity.

Charnette has been terrific to work with. She has baby sat our son multiple times starting when he was 9mo old (He's 2yo now). She really knows kids at that age and was able to connect with him quickly and overcame any stranger-danger. They clearly had a good time together and things went super smoothly. She is always quick at communicating and getting back to us and absolutely on time. We couldn't be happier.

Lisa L., Babysitter in Lafayette, CA 94549 with 20 years of paid experience

I am a Professional Career Nanny and a Newborn Care Specialist. I have been a nanny for precious children for over 20 years. I do not view my position as a job because I truly love what I do- provide nurturing care and love to children. I’m interested in helping children reach their natural milestones and to help them thrive while doing so. My approach with children is a tender, loving one in which the child can feel safe and nurtured. I attended community college classes for Early Childhood Education. I have preschool experience and I was the librarian at my son’s elementary school. I have experience in helping children with special needs. Children are the spice of life!!

Lisa has been a wonderful nanny for our infant son, Ryker, and we feel very fortunate to have her as part of his life. She is exceptionally gentle, patient, attentive, and thoughtful, both in the way she cares for Ryker and in the way she interacts with us as parents. One of the things we appreciate most about Lisa is how intentional she is with him. She treats everyday activities as opportunities for learning and development. She talks to Ryker throughout the day, explains what she is doing, sings to him, engages with him while he is awake, and finds age-appropriate ways to keep him stimulated and entertained. Even routine moments become opportunities for communication, connection, and learning. Lisa is also very capable with all of the day-to-day responsibilities of caring for an infant, including feeding, diaper changes, naps, soothing, and playtime. She is observant and attentive to his needs, while also respecting the routines and preferences we have established as his parents. Just as importantly, Lisa is incredibly easy to have in our home. She is considerate, easygoing, respectful of our space, and never makes us feel as though we need to accommodate her. She has a calm and reassuring presence that makes having someone care for our son in our home feel very natural. We also genuinely enjoy Lisa as a person. We have had many wonderful conversations with her, and her experience and knowledge of childcare have been extremely helpful and appreciated. She shares her insight in a thoughtful and respectful way, without ever making us feel that our own choices as parents are being questioned. We trust Lisa with our son and have been extremely happy with the care, attention, and affection she gives him. We would enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a patient, knowledgeable, nurturing, and dependable caregiver.
