Booked by 1 family in Mesa, AZ

Hi, my name is Kathy and I am currently working full time as an office administrator. I have a bachelor’s in Health Science. I am looking to do babysitting, pet sitting and household services during my free time for a little extra income. I enjoy working with children! I worked with preschool children during my time in college. I also worked in the kids camp on the Carnival Cruise ship for 4 years after graduating college. I have also worked in an afterschool program for a year doing activities and homework help, and helping with summer camp. I can change diapers, read with the kids, do arts & crafts, & play games. I can also cook, clean, and run errands. I also love pets! Especially furry pets! I used to have chihuahuas, hamsters and a bunny. I have had roommates that owned cats and they seem to love me. With my years of experience with kids, I can help with their school work or plan fun activities! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Sasha $18 per hour for 1 child

With over 10 years of dedicated experience in child care, I’ve had the privilege of working with children across various age groups—from infants to elementary-aged youth. My journey began with hands-on infant care, where I gained extensive experience in feeding, diaper changing, creating soothing routines, and supporting early developmental milestones in a nurturing, safe environment. As I grew in the field, I expanded my role to caring for toddlers and preschool-aged children, guiding them through potty training, language development, and structured play. I’ve always aimed to foster a sense of independence while still offering a warm, supportive presence that encourages confidence and curiosity. In addition to early childhood care, I’ve worked in elementary school settings, teaching kindergarten and first grade. I’ve developed and led classroom activities, managed group dynamics, and supported both academic and emotional growth. I’ve also worked in group homes for older children and adults, providing behavioral support, structure, and a consistent presence for those navigating life transitions or additional needs. My approach to child care is rooted in empathy, patience, and respect. I understand that every child is unique, and I take pride in creating safe, engaging, and inclusive spaces where they can grow and thrive. Whether supporting families in the home, a classroom, or specialized care settings, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, creativity, and heart to everything I do.

Ashlyn $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ashlyn and I am currently an Elementary Education student at ASU, so I love working with people! I love reading, singing, and building Legos in my free time, and I overall have a very positive and outgoing personality. I have had a few babysitting jobs with family-friends that included kids aged 3-10 years old, but am available for kids outside of that range as well. I have done a few internships within my school where I was part of different classes for 1st, 3rd, 6th grades, and some SPED experience too! I am a former server at a retirement home, and I worked with older individuals for nearly 3 years. While I did mainly serve food, I also had the opportunity to get to know the residents and build close bonds with them. I absolutely love animals! I have 2 cats of my own, so I am very familiar with them as pets and their requirements. I also have a few experiences with dog sitting, and enjoy taking care of them.
