Booked by 8 families in Mesa, AZ
Hello! I am currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology, and have an MA in Early Childhood Special Education. With experience working with children of all ages and abilities I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy supporting kids as they learn, play, and grow. I’ve worked with children in both educational and home-based settings and am comfortable with daily routines, homework help, and engaging activities. I strive to create a fun and structured environment, and I value clear, open communication with families. Safety, trust, and individualized care are always my top priorities. I enjoy reading, crochet and coffee - I appreciate any and all book or coffee shop recommendations!
“Sonali came prepared with bubbles and books for the kids and kept me informed via text. Our boys warmed to her immediately and were all smiles at the end of the evening. She clearly loves children.”

Hi my name is Lexi and I am 25 years old. I just moved back to Scottsdale after being on the east coast for a year! I graduated from Arizona State University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN, RN) in May 2023. That being said I am CPR/BLS certified and am a RN (Registered Nurse) with a year and a half experience working at a Level 1 Trauma Center in the Emergency Room and now working in a surgical setting at a Level 1 Trauma Center. I work 4 days a week M-F and am occasionally on-call for weekends and nights, so I have occasional availability! I grew up with two younger siblings and have been watching over them from a young age. I have had several babysitting jobs throughout the years and still continue to do it for my love of the job. I have experience watching ages ranging from 4 months-11 years old. I am a reliable, friendly, caring, and look forward to meeting your kids! :) Please feel free to message me with any questions!

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! ”
