Bonnie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Bonnie. I work part-time as an accountant and am looking to fill my days helping others. I love working with kids. Being the youngest of 7 children, I grew up with the unique opportunity to be an aunt of over 20 nieces and nephews combined. I was their fun, kind aunt and they loved when I'd babysit and help care for them. Those years really showed me how to work with children of all ages. Aside from my family, I have experience tutoring children from 1st to 5th grade in reading and math and was a girls middle school and high school basketball coach for 5 years. I love working with elderly individuals. Both sets of my grandparents lived with me and my parents at different times as I was growing up. I played an active role in caring for them by making them meals, assisting them, and just visiting with them. I appreciate hearing the stories of their backgrounds and places they've been. I've found it's providing them company and someone to talk to that really cheers them up and motivates them. I'm a dog magnet. Dogs know a kind soul when they see one. Dogs are the best kind of animal, and I have over 21 years experience owning and caring for them. From chihuahuas to German Shepherds, I have taken care of a variety of dogs of all ages including puppies and seniors.

Hello. My name is Goldie. I'm 49 years old and have many years of experience providing safe and loving care to children of all ages, from infants to grade schoolers. I truly love children, and give my all to provide a fun, supportive and learning environment. I believe they are angels on earth and I am blessed to be around them. I prefer non-smoking environments, and am comfortable with household pets. I am happy to provide references; some of my families I have been giving care to for over eleven years!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 28 families in Maricopa, AZ

Hello Families and Friends! I am a full-time state certified music educator, and I teach 1st grade-Junior High. I play piano, sing, and compose. I also love hiking, scuba diving, and sailing. I love kids, and I also enjoy tutoring them in additional subjects. Is your child struggling with homework? I can help while also babysitting your child. Please note: travel expenses and time travelled do increase the babysitting fee. 15+ miles is a $5 hourly increase. 30+ miles is a $10 hourly increase. Ex: $30/hr increases to $35/hr. If that is the case, I will verbalize this increase to parents prior to accepting booking invitations.

“Anabelle was incredibly professional, thorough, and reliable. I would absolutely hire her again, and could not recommend her more!!!!”

Booked by 25 families in Maricopa, AZ

Hello, my name is Alexia. Over the past 5 years I've been babysitting for a family that have fostered and adopted children and they've become like a second family to me. I have experience with newborns/infants, toddlers, twins, elementary, pre-teen and teenagers. I also have experience taking care of multiple children at a time. I've worked nights (bedtime routine) and overnights (morning routine) which consists of waking kids up, getting them ready, breakfast, pack lunches and drop off at bus stop when mom and dad are out of town. I serve/volunteer on Sunday mornings in the nursery at my local church since 2011. I have previous experience as a medical assistant but I'm currently taking a break from that role. I enjoy babysitting children of all ages. I love seeing them grow and teaching them new things! Children are amazing and incredibly adorable!
