Barbi $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Barbi and I’m from Montana but I’m now living in the Phoenix area to be near and help my ailing father. I have homeschooled and raised 5 children. I love spending time with my grandchildren but they are 1500 miles away so I thought that helping out Arizona families would be good for my heart and a way to encourage and support parents as they do the most important job in the world raising their beloved kiddos! I am comfortable with all animals including farm animals and also willing to help out with household tasks or anything that would lessen the load for busy parents. My primary focus will always be the children. I love hands on learning so if it’s ok with parents I will include children in age appropriate tasks like cooking, animal care, household tasks as well as spend time reading, coloring, creative play, crafts, games, outside play, walks and anything that will expand the children’s imagination, encourage growth and fill their hearts with a love for life!

Hi! My name is McKenzi, and I’m a high school senior offering childcare and household services! I’ve babysat throughout high school and have experience caring for multiple children at once, including a baby, toddler, and elementary-aged child! For the past three summers, I’ve worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor teaching infants through 18-year-olds, and most recently coached kids on the Centennial Stingrays swim team. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a certified assistant teacher through my COOP and child development programs at my high school, and have classroom experience as an assistant teacher.

Ashley 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! My name is Ashley and I can't wait to meet you and your little ones. I'm BLS CPR certified and have 3 years of paid babysitting experience, along with a lifetime of unpaid experience caring for my younger siblings and relatives. As the oldest of four, I've been surrounded by children my whole life, and it's something I genuinely love. In my freetime you can usually find me reading a good book, taking photos, or spending time at church a couple of times a week. My faith has taught me the importance of kindness, patience, and serving others, which I strive to bring into everything I do. My biggest priority is making sure your children are safe while having fun. I can do light housekeeping, meals, transportation, bedtime, etc. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your children with someone, and I will always do my best to give you peace of mind while you're away.

Ashley is very patient, caring and loving. My kids loved her. We were sad when she moved to a different state. Ashley takes the time to know you child's needs. She is great with kids with special needs as well.
