Hi! My name is Chandyce, and I’m a reliable, patient, and nurturing caregiver with hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of routines, safety, and creating a calm, fun, and supportive environment. I’m attentive, communicative, and great at following family preferences. I can help with playtime, meals, light housekeeping, and pets, and I always treat every home with care and respect.

Rachel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Rachel! I am in my last semester studying Elementary Education at Arizona State University. I am currently student teaching in Kindergarten at a school in Paradise Valley and therefore trying to earn some money in evenings/weekends. I have been working with kiddos for many many years now! I have been a summer camp counselor, after school staff, dance class teacher for little ones, and many years of babysitting/nannying. I have worked alongside the ASU preschool psychology classroom as well for 90+ hours. I am CPR certified and have my Arizona State IVP Fingerprint Clearance card as well. I am more than happy to help with chores around the house, as well as help your kiddos with homework!

$20 per hour for 1 child

My passion is teaching and caring for children. That passion grew after my little brother was diagnosed with autism and I strove to learn everything I could about the developmental disorder. The experience led me to earn a bachelor's degree in elementary education from ASU. Throughout college I continued to develop my teaching and childcare skills in a K-2nd grade after school program, a 1st grade internship, and as a 7th/8th grade science student teacher. I went on to become a middle school science teacher for a couple of years which I loved, but I missed early childhood education. I became a lead teacher at Tutor Time in the infant room and worked with children as young as 6 weeks old. I love teaching and taking care of kids and I am now enjoying life as a private childcare provider.
