Zaira $17 per hour for 1 child

Hiii! I grew up in a divorced household with mostly just my dad around. I was left unattended a lot with my older sister and I always felt unsafe. Now as an older teenager, I just want to provide that safety and comfort of having someone there to children. I really want to be a teacher for younger kids, that’s why I try to babysit to get as much experience as possible. I love to do hands on interactive activities and I also love to be outside. I can also cook, bake, and clean!!

Booked by 1 family in Avondale, AZ

I have tutored (in math) and babysat children for almost 10 years. I babysat my own siblings and my neighbors' children as well. (I am CPR trained, have a car, and I love animals!)

“Kufre was punctual and friendly, my 2 girls had a fun time playing hide and seek with her and playing games with her. We will definitely be hiring her again.”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
