Robyn $19 per hour for 1 child
Looking for someone who will love and care for your children like they're her own? Hi! I'm a 40+ year-old mom of two teens who absolutely loves working with children. I bring 20+ years of childcare experience and, as a mom myself, I know how important reliable, safe, and engaging care really is. WHY PARENTS CHOOSE ME Hospital volunteer for 18+ months - I spend my free time cuddling babies in Phoenix Children's Hospital CVICU because I genuinely love caring for little ones. This experience has prepared me for children with various medical needs and given me comfort with all ages. I've truly seen it all - From one-week-old newborns to teenagers, kids with autism, ADHD, severe allergies, and medical complexities. I worked as a professional nanny for 3 years and spent 7 years as a youth minister with middle and high schoolers. Plus, raising my own kids (one with sensory issues, one with Celiac disease) has given me real-world experience with developmental and dietary challenges. Safety you can trust - Former lifeguard and swim instructor with multiple CPR certifications, fingerprinting, and food handler training. Your children's safety is always my top priority. I follow your lead - Whether you have strict schedules and house rules or prefer a more relaxed approach, I adapt to your family's style. I've worked with families across the spectrum - from strict routines to gentle parenting with baby-wearing and cloth diapers. Your rules, your way. THE FUN STUFF I'm all about making childhood magical! From age-appropriate crafts and Montessori activities to educational adventures at the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden (where I'm a member). I've taken 180 teenagers to Disneyland AND spent quiet afternoons with little ones reading books at the library - I meet kids where they are. I WOULD LOVE TO SUPPORT YOU You're not just hiring a babysitter - you're getting someone who will genuinely care about your children's happiness, safety, and growth. I treat every child with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Ready to chat? I'd love to meet your family!

It’s not easy managing twin boys so I’m extremely grateful to have found someone who could handle the challenges with ease as well as keeping me informed throughout the full process while I was away.
