Booked by 1 family in Phoenix, AZ

I've been babysitting and nannying for 7 years now. I'm currently in school part time and aside from my morning nannying job, my schedule is relatively free. I have experience caring for up to 4 young kids at a time, babies over 4 months old, twins as well as children with special needs. In addition to caring for your child(ren), I will gladly do light chore work, can take your kids to and from activities, and cook. I've also assisted in online learning myself, and can help your child with their school day or offer tutoring services while they're completing their school work. My special skills include conflict management, and having done extensive research on emotional development, I consider myself to be very knowledgeable in that area of care. I will treat your kids like my own, and will be responsible, communicative and diligent while caring for your child.

“Lily is so sweet. My son loves playing with her on the days I've been able to book her. I will definitely hire her again.”

Megan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a certified school counselor and work at a small title 1 school in downtown Phoenix. I am going on my 6th year at the school and work with ages ranging from preschool-8th grade. In my teenage and college years, I also babysat and nannied for multiple families in those age ranges. I love children and am always excited for hands on learning, playtime, crafts, and as a counselors love to focus on the social emotional aspect as well. I like to live a healthy and active lifestyle and tend to stay off technology and screens for as much as I can. I am really looking to connect with families that need more weekend care or care during school breaks! I am very loyal, responsible, and passionate about my career and would love to support more children and families in need!
