Booked by 1 family in Maricopa, AZ

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! I would enjoy talking about how I can help your family with sitting :)

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!

Did an amazing job and will rehire as needed.

Booked by 24 families in Maricopa, AZ

Hi! I’m Lauren 🙂. I graduated from ASU with my Bachelors in Elementary Education in 2006 and I have 10 years of experience as a substitute teacher with K-12. I also love animals!! I grew up with dogs and cats and recently had a belgian malinois/boxer mix so I am used to dogs who need extra attention :) I am currently a full time teacher and I am looking to supplement my income occasionally on the weekends or possibly week nights. I love working with children and have over 15 years experience as a babysitter/nanny with all ages. I feel that I can provide an excellent learning environment that is very interactive and help kids stay physically active as well!

This was my 1st time using anyone other than family. From the minute Lauren walked in the door I could sense her warm temperament. My 2 year old adored her and I will be booking Lauren again. She’s wonderful!

Booked by 12 families in Maricopa, 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
