Meet college nannies and sitters from Grand Canyon University

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I'm 21 years old and have been babysitting/nannying for over 5yrs! I am currently in my last year of online schooling at GCU to become a kindergarten teacher, which has fueled my passion for early childhood development and creating positive learning environments. I am extremely organized and genuinely enjoy keeping spaces tidy and welcoming. As a nanny/sitter I provide a fun, engaging atmosphere that encourages creativity, curiosity, and growth. I love planning activities that support learning through play while still maintaining a consistent routine. Most importantly, I hope to build meaningful connections with both children and families and become someone you can truly trust and rely on! Let’s chat more 😇

I am a licensed as a registered behavioral therapist. Have a bachelors degree in psychology. Working on my masters as well as working with children on the autism spectrum full time. I am very familiar and experienced in tutoring, creating a lesson plan if they are homeschooled or special needs.

I was a nanny for 3 years for a family with two kids starting at age 5 and 7. I was also an occasional date night sitter for a family of a 3 year old and a family of a 3 year old and 1.5 year old.

Hi, I'm Olivia and I offer infant care and child care. I am going to Grand Canyon University 100% online (majoring in business marketing) so that means I am available all mornings during the week! WHY I LOVE NANNYING: Well first of all, I LOVE KIDS! I have always been the girl in the family who hangs out with the little kids at every family event and have dreamed of having my own kids one day (in the not so near future lol)! When I started babysitting in 7th grade, I absolutely adored it. I have multiple families who I have been babysitting for 4+ years. It is really important to me to build a connection not only with the kids, but the whole family. I love doing anything and everything with the kids I babysit and nanny! I have done everything with the kids I have watched in the past from teaching them soccer, coloring with chalk on the sidewalk, just holding the smaller little babies, and playing Roblox or VR with the older kids!! EXPERIENCE: I have been babysitting since I was in 7th grade, I was a teacher's assistant at a preschool during my freshman and sophomore years of high school, and most recently, I was a children's soccer coach! I taught mommy and me classes on Saturdays to 10 month olds- 2 year olds. In the past, I have also coached 3-5 year olds and 8-11 year olds. I just finished a nannying job for a 2 yr old and 7 yr old since September so I am looking for something part time! I am currently working for another family that I met on this website. They have 2 kids, 10 year old boy and 12 year old boy. I work for them Monday-Friday 2 pm- 9 pm so other than that, I am free!! RATES: My preferred rates are in the "rates category" but if that does not work with a specific family, I am willing to lower my rates if its a good fit and the family is in need of a good nanny :) These rates are just according to my experience and what am currently/ have been payed in the past. Please don't hesitate to reach out even if my rates aren't ideal for your family, I am sure we can discuss and figure out an arrangement!

Hi! My name is Hayden, and I'm a creative and emotionally attuned caregiver with a deep love for helping children grow, express themselves, and feel safe being who they are. I have 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages - from toddlers to preteens - and I take an intentional approach that blends art, psychology, and mindful communication. I love helping kids express themselves through creativity, whether that's painting, storytelling, music, outdoor play, or reflective activities that support emotional awareness and self- esteem. My personal background in psychology and communication has changed my outlook and direction in life. I am a passionate autodidact, some of my favorite writers are Carl Yung and Joe Dispenza. It now helps me understand and connect with each child's unique personality and needs. Families and organizations have described me as grounded, dependable, and intuitive - someone who brings both warmth and structure into any environment. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with household support, errands, school drop-off, pick-ups, sport events, homework. I'd love to provide exercises and activities to stimulate personal growth and healing. Understanding who you are, and what you are passionate about is a core structure that builds your foundation of reality in childhood. I take pride in creating an uplifting, balanced environment where children feel seen, safe, and inspired to grow. I'm looking for a family that wants a long-term teammate to assist in their children's growth. In addition to traditional childcare, I have traveled through to volunteer all throughout high school in the lowest income areas of our country to provide daycare for families who cannot afford this luxury. Everyday, my co-leader and I would lead a group of 10-15 children for eight hours through different activities and meals. I was working in the sector that emphasized creativity/art. Each activity was curated with structure, while allowing the children freedom to express themselves creatively. I have spent the last 3 years in the service industry, and I recognize it does not hold the passion and purpose that I feel called to do. It has helped me learn about myself and those around me, as I have had the pleasure of meeting thousands of different people. I recognize that it was lacking the empathy and emotional growth I am looking for. Nannying is the direction I've been guided towards to be aligned with my authentic self and purpose

I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with nearly seven years of hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, and supporting households. I am a proud mother of two beautiful baby girls, which has strengthened my patience, nurturing nature, and ability to multitask while maintaining a calm and safe environment. I also have extensive childcare experience caring for my twin nephews, giving me confidence with infants, toddlers, and growing children. In addition to my caregiving background, I am currently enrolled in nursing school with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse, allowing me to combine professional medical knowledge with genuine care and empathy. I am attentive, trustworthy, and safety-focused, with strong communication skills and a deep understanding of family needs. I take pride in creating warm, structured, and supportive environments where children feel secure, seniors feel respected, and families feel confident knowing their loved ones are in capable and loving hands.

Hi, My name is Shanel and I’ve been working in an elementary school for over 13 years. I am offering afterschool child care and driving services. I currently work 1:1 with children, supporting their learning, behavior, and daily routines. I have experience with elementary-aged kids of all abilities, including children who need extra support. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups, helping with homework, supervising activities, and maintaining structured routines. I am reliable, patient, and very safety-focused. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is for children to be transported safely and on time. I have a clean driving record and strong communication skills. I’m also comfortable helping with light household tasks such as meal prep, organizing, and running errands if needed.

Hello, my name is Mallory! I graduated with a bachelor's degree from Grand Canyon University and am currently working on my Master's degree in Nutrition. I also work as a Nutrition Assistant for UCHealth. I am offering childcare. During my undergrad program, I worked for BusyBees, which is a babysitting company in Arizona. I worked for them for about 3 years and have babysat for 50+ families. I have watched children ranging from 5 months to 12 years old. I absolutely love it! A little about me is that I love reading and running. So whether your little one loves to run around and play or prefers to sit and read a book, we will have a great time together!

Hi! I’m a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background in childcare, newborn support, and family care. I spent 3 years working as a preschool teacher, where I developed a love for creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. In addition to teaching, I have over 5 years of nanny experience working closely with multiple families and supporting children through different stages of development. I am also a trained birth and postpartum doula as well as a newborn care specialist, which has allowed me to support families during some of the most important and vulnerable moments of their lives. My approach is calm, patient, attentive, and family-centered, with a focus on providing both emotional and practical support. Beyond childcare, I previously worked as a certified nurse’s assistant in senior living and rehabilitation centers, where I gained valuable hands-on caregiving experience and strengthened my ability to provide compassionate care to individuals of all ages. Outside of work, I’m a fur mom to two cats and recently said goodbye to my sweet senior dog who passed from old age.
