Booked by 4 families in Mesa, AZ
I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education, and a Master’s in Instructional Design. I've been a first-grade teacher for the past 8 years, and I’m passionate about working with children and animals. I began babysitting as a teenager and continued through college. Today, I’m a trusted caregiver for the children of close friends, and I fully understand the importance of creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. Outside of teaching, I volunteer with local rescues and foster dogs, providing them with a loving temporary home. I'm professional, friendly, and reliable—and committed to caring for every child or animal as if they were my own.
“Michelle is excellent with children. She is compassionate, kind and enthusiastic. Her caring personality, positive attitude, and reliability make her a good choice for a babysitter.”

Hi! My name is Kaley, and I'm originally from Omaha, Nebraska. I'm currently seeking babysitting opportunities as I explore my next career move. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Childcare has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, I started babysitting and nannying when I was just 12 years old. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience working with children of all ages, including roles at daycares throughout high school and college and as a summer care provider for elementary-aged kids. I'm dependable, enthusiastic, and ready to help however I can. Whether you need childcare, meal prep, light housekeeping, or help running errands, I'm happy to lend a hand. I'd love the chance to support your family and make your day a little easier!
“Kaley was extremely helpful and my daughter had a great time with her. She is professional, reliable and I hope to have her back again! Thank you! ”
