Teigan $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi my name is Teigan! I am currently a student at American Institute for Dental Assisting and plan to go to school for dental hygiene! I have experience in a wide range of ages in childcare and have been babysitting since I was 12 years old! My responsibilities can include driving to and from places, crafts, sports games, or just extra help on school! I have no problem with any ages or any other pets in the home and can’t wait to work with you!
Jada $17 per hour for 1 child
I am a high-level Director currently transitioning into a new phase of life as an almost empty nester. While my executive role keeps me busy, I'm eager to explore part-time opportunities that allow me to support other families while also focusing on my financial goals. Having lived in Gilbert for 15 years, I have a strong appreciation for this wonderful community. I share my home with two lively dogs who keep me active. My interests include sports, dining out, and maintaining an active lifestyle through regular workouts as I believe in the importance of balance. I'm excited to leverage my experience and energy to help families with their childcare needs, even within my limited availability.

Hi! I’m Rachel! I am in my last semester studying Elementary Education at Arizona State University. I am currently student teaching in Kindergarten at a school in Paradise Valley and therefore trying to earn some money in evenings/weekends. I have been working with kiddos for many many years now! I have been a summer camp counselor, after school staff, dance class teacher for little ones, and many years of babysitting/nannying. I have worked alongside the ASU preschool psychology classroom as well for 90+ hours. I am CPR certified and have my Arizona State IVP Fingerprint Clearance card as well.

$17 per hour for 1 childBooked by 1 family in Gilbert, AZ
Hi I’m Skye! I am 18 years old and am ready for a job! It’s hard to find a job as a college student because I have not had a job in the past due to a busy schedule in high school and most jobs require past working experience. I would say I’m friendly and respectful and like to get the job done! I’m currently a student at Arizona State who is majoring in English but maybe child development in the future! I am looking to occasionally babysit only because I go back home to my home state for winter and summer break so keep that in mind! I think I want a job where I can pick up kids from school and watch them for a few hours or when parents want to go on a date night!
