Hi I’m Skye! I am 18 years old and am ready for a job! It’s hard to find a job as a college student because I have not had a job in the past due to a busy schedule in high school and most jobs require past working experience. I would say I’m friendly and respectful and like to get the job done! I’m currently a student at Arizona State who is majoring in English but maybe child development in the future! I am looking to occasionally babysit only because I go back home to my home state for winter and summer break so keep that in mind! I think I want a job where I can pick up kids from school and watch them for a few hours or when parents want to go on a date night!

Booked by 1 family in Phoenix, AZ

Hi! I am currently attending Penrose Academy to become a licensed medical aesthetician and laser technician. I am out of school at 4:30pm Wednesdays-Saturdays, so I am looking for some part time opportunities for nannying or date nights! I've been working with children for 11 years, including 5 years as a full-time nanny for multiple families. I have experience caring for kids of all ages, from one-week-old newborns to 16-year-olds. I've provided overnight care and stayed with children for a week or longer while their parents were out of town, so I'm comfortable managing routines and keeping things running smoothly. I also taught dance for 10 years, and I've helped raise my younger cousin and nephew, so caring for kids has always been a big part of my life. I love building strong relationships with the families I work with and creating a fun, safe, and dependable environment where kids can be themselves. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, or want to figure something out!!

Booked by 1 family in Phoenix, AZ

Im a 57 year old grandmother of 5 from Denver Colorado ,the only experience is with my own children and niece's and nephews, I took time off work to raise a family and be a stay at home wife and mother but am ready to join the workforce and I can apply my real lived experience to this type of job I also provide housekeeping duties and pet sitting i am also cpr certified

“Cassie was available to come over on short notice and it was very helpful because she lived very close. I needed some time to be present at a meeting for work. She took out side my dog to meet the mobile groomers and then came back and began cleaning my apartment. She will be back tomorrow to finish up as she was only available for two hours today. I’m so glad to have met her through the UrbanSitter app and look forward to hiring her again in the future, for cleaning and any animal sitting that needs that arise. In the kitchen and never looked so clean! My cats loved her too❣️ she has a great can-do attitude and does well when you get her a list of the things you want done because as she proved to me today, they get done! Thank you!!!!”
