Ashlyn $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ashlyn and I am currently an Elementary Education student at ASU, so I love working with people! I love reading, singing, and building Legos in my free time, and I overall have a very positive and outgoing personality. I have had a few babysitting jobs with family-friends that included kids aged 3-10 years old, but am available for kids outside of that range as well. I have done a few internships within my school where I was part of different classes for 1st, 3rd, 6th grades, and some SPED experience too! I am a former server at a retirement home, and I worked with older individuals for nearly 3 years. While I did mainly serve food, I also had the opportunity to get to know the residents and build close bonds with them. I absolutely love animals! I have 2 cats of my own, so I am very familiar with them as pets and their requirements. I also have a few experiences with dog sitting, and enjoy taking care of them.

Rachel $20 per hour for 1 child

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. I am more than happy to help with chores around the house, as well as help your kiddos with homework!

Booked by 1 family in Gilbert, AZ

Hi. My name is Amara, a proud mom of four wonderful kids,with a heart for children. I'm excited to extend my care and experience to your newborn to tweens. Keep them happy,loved and safe. Beyond childcare, I enjoy keeping a clean, cozy environment,whether that means tidying up, doing dishes, or laundry and homework because I believe kids do best in happy, organized spaces. When I’m not with little ones, you’ll find me enjoying a good book, singing, or listening to music. I’d love the chance to bring hugs and peace of mind to your family while making your child’s day brighter.

I’ve seen firsthand how wonderful Amarachi is with kids, and I can honestly say she’s an amazing babysitter and exceptional mom of 4. She is dependable, kind and goes above and beyond to make sure children feel safe and happy. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring, Amarachi is a fantastic choice.

Guennivere $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Guennivere and I am an 18 year old senior in high school with a big passion for caretaking. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love kids and animals with all my heart. I plan to become an art teacher in the future, so I’d love to do all kinds of art/craft projects to if your kids are interested! I’ve had two younger brothers for most of my life that I’ve cared for continuously whether that’s changing diapers, cooking, emotional support, etc. My biggest goal is to be an extra person in your kid(s)’s life that they know cares about them. I’ve found it’s incredibly important to let kids be kids and I’m positive I can find the perfect balance to help your kids excel while also keeping their spirits high! Although art is my favorite activity, I have a big family with all kinds of interests, so I’ll make sure their interests are prioritized and paid attention to. My dad has been a chef my whole life so I can happily take care of food. I have great communication skills, especially regarding emotional issues, so you as the parent will be kept fully up to date with how your child’s doing. A priority of mine is to let parents have alone time without having to feel any worry about their kid, it’s called alone time for a reason! I’ve been around cats and dogs a LOT my whole life. Seriously- I had 15 cats at one point. Nonetheless my love and excitement for them stays the same. So if you need a pet sitter, I’m all ears for that too!
