Hi there! My name is Amanda! I am a recent Master's of Education graduate looking for some occasional work. I have been babysitting since I was 11. I am the oldest of 8 children, and helped my parents out with summer care when I was younger. Most recently, I was a Kindergarten teacher for the last 4 years, and worked in a daycare before that. During the school year, my schedule is more limited. I am able to help with homework, light household duties, and take care of pets. I have my own reliable vehicle and can run errands if needed. I am First Aid and CPR certified I am looking for some occasional work, especially for the last part of summer, but also over the school year as well!

Steve $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Steve! I live in the Moon Valley area of Phoenix, and I love dogs. My wife and I have said that we'd love to be able to make a living just being able to have fun with dogs everyday, though for normal life that generally isn't practical! :) Well, these days I have a chance to offer some doggy love for the furry hour legs when their people need someone to take care of them for a time. I've had dogs from a young age, from experiencing litters of puppies, to training just one, to helping them through later part of life, and to the point of having to say goodbye to more than one of my friends before. I've always related to dogs and most dogs like and trust me very readily. I'll be happy to make sure your pups, both young and old, are happy and well cared for and happy while you're not there to do it yourself.
