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!

Annaleigh $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I live in Gilbert with my fiance after we both graduated college at GCU. I studied film, and still work on set most weeks, but I have a lot of free time on days off! I started childcare with babysitting in 2020 when many familes needed extra childcare, and ended up nannying all through college for a couple of different families, mostly for kids in the 2-7 year old range. I also spent two summers working at the YMCA summer camp for preschool-1st graders, which taught me a lot about early childhood education. Since graduating (and having a bit more of a varied schedule due to film work), I switched to just babysitting (and the occasional dog/house sitting) on my days and weekends off. I am happy to help with dogs, but I am unfortunately allergic to cats! As far as myself, I love to read, play cozy games, and have been really loving traveling around the US this year! My favorite place to be in the world is on a beach, and I've been getting really into making my own lattes at home.
