Charli $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Charli, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with hands-on experience both nannying and working in daycares. I’m originally from North Dakota and recently relocated to Arizona, and childcare has been a big part of my life. I’ve worked in daycare settings where I cared for multiple children at once, followed daily routines, helped with meals, playtime, learning activities, and ensured a safe, positive environment. I’ve also nannied for families in my hometown, giving me one-on-one experience with children of different ages and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and energetic, and I truly enjoy creating a fun but structured environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m great at keeping children engaged through activities, helping with routines, and being someone parents can rely on and trust. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with pet care and am comfortable around dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, and general supervision. I take my responsibilities seriously, communicate well with parents, and always aim to be someone families feel confident leaving their children with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, loving care.

Booked by 1 family in Phoenix, AZ

Hi there! My name is Hannah, and I’ve been nannying on and off since high school (I’m 29 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!!!”

$17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Phoenix, AZ

Hi my name is Victoria and I am an ASU graduate who is also currently an ASU employee. I graduated with honors and bachelors of science in Biology and Psychology with an emphasis in Neurobiology. After focusing on my studies for so long I am taking this time to enjoy life by traveling, spending time with friends and family, and exploring new hobbies. In addition to my current part-time job, I would like to earn some other money on the side through helping families watch their most precious loved ones. I have plenty of previous experience taking care of children! I used to be the neighborhood babysitter when I was in junior high and high school, taking care of my next door neighbor's two children (starting at ages 3 and 7), and my other neighbor's daughter (aged 6-10). In addition, I was a volunteer and staff member at the local rec center for 6 years. There, I was in charge of running sports and arts and crafts activities for children aged 5-12. They also had me work our cool kids club where I watched children aged 2-5 while their parents worked out or took a trip to the library. I also have an abundance of experience in watching peoples' pets. I have taken care of the furry friends of neighbors, friends, and family for as long as I can remember! I have grown up with family dogs and know the amount of responsibility it takes to make sure they are loved and living an enriched life. Currently, I take care of my roommate's dog on a regular basis, and she frequently has dogs over for overnight stays, where I assist as well. In college, I was a research assistant in the Canine Science Collaboratory, where we ran behavioral studies on dogs. Through that experience, I can effectively determine a dog's temperament and any special needs they may need to feel comfortable. Though most of my experience is with dogs, I also feel comfortable with cats and other pets and love them just as much! I am just an animal girl at heart. I am willing to take on any cleaning or household tasks that families may need help with as well. I just love staying busy!
