Booked by 12 families in Gilbert, AZ

Hi! My name is Wendy , I would like you to know a little about me and what I can do for your little ones and your family, I’m 26 years old and a reliable, caring, and patient nanny with a genuine love for working with children. I have experience caring for kids of different ages through working with multiple families, and I’m very comfortable adapting to each child’s unique routine and needs. I’m well-versed in daily childcare routines—mealtime, bath time, nap schedules, and fun educational or creative activities. I always strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where kids feel happy, supported, and heard. I’m also an animal lover, so I’m more than happy to work in homes with pets. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I have my own transportation, which allows me to be flexible and punctual. Whether you’re looking for a part-time, full-time, or occasional sitter, I’m open and ready to support your family with kindness, responsibility, and lots of positive energy. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Wendy was truly a breath of fresh air! As someone who had never left my daughter with anyone outside of my mother, this was a huge leap of faith for me, especially since we are new to the area and don’t know many people yet. From the moment we met Wendy, she made us feel completely comfortable and quickly felt like family. Wendy has such a genuine warmth and light about her that is rare to find. My daughter absolutely adores her and already wishes Wendy could be her full-time caregiver! We feel incredibly blessed and grateful to have met her. Thank you, Wendy, for making this experience so easy and reassuring for our family! Mia

Booked by 7 families in Gilbert, AZ

Retired Registered Nurse, mother of 5 grown children. Love to watch children learn and grow. Very patient. I usually help with household chores when i babysit. I am very observant so nothing gets past me. Love dogs.

We had an amazing experience with Linda! She was able to keep up with a high energy 4-year old better than a lot of other babysitters we've had. She came fully prepared and even brought coloring books and crayons, which was very nice. My daughter absolutely loved playing with her and we would love Linda to babysit for us again!

Booked by 3 families in Gilbert, AZ

Hi, my name is Adela! I’m 52 years old and offer both child care and senior care services. As a proud mom of three (all grown now!), I homeschooled them all the way through high school, so I’ve spent many years caring for and guiding children through all stages of development. I truly love being around kids, playing age-appropriate games, reading together, doing crafts, or even heading out to classes or appointments. I’m happy to prepare simple, healthy meals and I’m also very comfortable with pets, so I’d be glad to help care for them too. While I don’t have professional senior care experience, I’m a kind, attentive, and compassionate person who is happy to offer companionship and support when needed. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I always keep safety as a top priority. I’m also a Christian and attend Central Christian Church, and I try to bring patience, honesty, and a warm heart into every home I enter. I’d love the chance to support your family and bring a sense of calm, care, and consistency to your daily routine. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or ask any questions!

I would recommend Adela to anyone who needs a caring and kind person to look after their babies. She was punctual and brought a very calm presence to my household. She’s knowledgeable and patient. I am happy she was able to watch my 10 month old.
