Amanda $20 per hour for 1 child

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!

Alexandra $22 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience caring for children from 2½ months to 17 years old through professional nannying, babysitting, tutoring, and working in both home and school environments. I earned my degree in Elementary Education with minors in Special Education and English as a Second Language (ESL), which has given me a strong understanding of child development and how to support children with a wide range of learning styles and abilities. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children with and without disabilities, providing individualized care, academic support, and creating fun, structured environments where they can thrive. My experience includes classroom support, tutoring, homework help, planning engaging activities, preparing meals, maintaining routines, transporting children, and supervising outings and field trips. In addition to childcare, I have experience teaching swim lessons and coaching water polo, helping children build confidence, develop new skills, and stay active. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy taking kids on adventures like hikes, trips to the park, nature walks, and other activities that encourage curiosity, learning, and exploration. Families describe me as dependable, patient, energetic, and compassionate. I believe in creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel supported, valued, and encouraged to grow. My goal is to become a trusted part of your family’s team while providing exceptional care and giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are happy, safe, and well cared for.

Esmeralda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a compassionate, reliable, and hardworking caregiver with experience supporting children and families. As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve always enjoyed helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. I began working with children in 2013 as a CNA at a children’s hospital, where I learned the importance of patience, safety, and compassionate care. I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and will graduate within the next year while attending school online. As an endurance athlete, I enjoy running, hiking, cycling, and encouraging active, healthy lifestyles. I also enjoy reading with children, helping with homework, and maintaining routines and structure. I’m looking to support families through childcare, homework help, light housekeeping, errands, pet sitting,and everyday household needs.

Booked by 1 family in Paradise Valley, AZ

Hi there! My name is Hannah, and I’ve been nannying on and off since high school (I’m 28 now) and my most recent nanny position wrapped up last year. I’ve also spent several years caring for infants and toddlers at my local church. My siblings have five kids ranging from 2 to 9, so I’ve always been surrounded by little ones! I’d describe myself as caring, fun, and creative. I love coming up with activities that spark imagination and curiosity. I’m also adventurous and enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that’s exploring a park, doing crafts outside, or going on little adventures. At the same time, I’m responsible, timely, and dependable - qualities I know parents value. I truly enjoy helping kids learn, laugh, and grow, and I’d be so happy to care for yours!

Hannah was an incredible help over the past few weeks, and we could not have been happier with her support. She was reliable, thoughtful, and consistently brought a high level of attention to detail to everything she handled. She made our day-to-day much smoother. Her communication was excellent and she approached every task with professionalism and care. We truly appreciated her help and would highly recommend her!!!
