Booked by 1 family in Tempe, 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!!!!

Booked by 1 family in Tempe, 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!!

Guennivere $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Guennivere and I am an 18 year old senior in high school with a big passion for caretaking. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love kids and animals with all my heart. I plan to become an art teacher in the future, so I’d love to do all kinds of art/craft projects to if your kids are interested! I’ve had two younger brothers for most of my life that I’ve cared for continuously whether that’s changing diapers, cooking, emotional support, etc. My biggest goal is to be an extra person in your kid(s)’s life that they know cares about them. I’ve found it’s incredibly important to let kids be kids and I’m positive I can find the perfect balance to help your kids excel while also keeping their spirits high! Although art is my favorite activity, I have a big family with all kinds of interests, so I’ll make sure their interests are prioritized and paid attention to. My dad has been a chef my whole life so I can happily take care of food. I have great communication skills, especially regarding emotional issues, so you as the parent will be kept fully up to date with how your child’s doing. A priority of mine is to let parents have alone time without having to feel any worry about their kid, it’s called alone time for a reason! I’ve been around cats and dogs a LOT my whole life. Seriously- I had 15 cats at one point. Nonetheless my love and excitement for them stays the same. So if you need a pet sitter, I’m all ears for that too!

Anna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anna, an experienced and dependable caregiver who has loved working with kids since I was a teenager. Over the years, I’ve babysat for families regularly and even spent a summer as a live-in nanny in the Hamptons caring for three children. My background includes a career in creative and client-focused roles, which has made me super organized, patient, and adaptable. I love planning fun, screen-free activities, whether that’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy traveling, being in nature, trying new coffee shops, and spending time with my friends and family. I’m great with pets, and committed to making sure kids feel safe, supported, and happy.
