Booked by 2 families in Valley Farms, AZ

Hello! My name is Katelyn, and I am a fun, loving, optimistic 21-year-old girl. I just recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Arizona State University, which is very exciting! By choice, I did a majority of my clinical rotations at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, as I am most interested in caring for children. I absolutely adore everything about them; their eagerness to learn, their curiosity, fun and loving spirits, imaginations, playful natures, etc! I'm all about having a good time with them, and will support any and all of their needs. I would be honored to care for anyone's child -- my intention is to protect their safety and well-being at all costs. Going into more about who I am as a person, I believe I am (and strive to be) a kind, caring, considerate, respectful, and understanding individual. I am also very adventurous, easy-going, and open-minded. I'm up for anything. I love to cook, bake delicious treats, read, occasionally play cutesy-girly video games on my Nintendo Switch (but I'm definitely open to playing more intense games if you have a girl or boy who loves that type of stuff!), explore nature, swim, and be goofy. I am very family-oriented as well. I have had my driver's license since the day I turned 16, so I have been driving for about 5 years now. I have a clean record, and have driven short-distance, long-distance, in the rain, during dust storms, you name it. I can handle all types of environments. I am CPR certified as well. As for my childcare experience, I babysat many of my younger cousins for years, worked as a teacher's assistant at a math and reading center for 1 year, and was a full-time lead teacher at KinderCare for 6 months in the year 2024. I loved both jobs, and only left for school reasons. I have experience in caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners. I am happy to help out with anything you need. Crafts, homework, driving to appointments, school, or extracurriculars, etc.

Celene $22 per hour for 1 child

Headline: Dependable Professional | Childcare, Senior Support, Pet & House Sitting About Me: Hi, I’m Celene! I hold an Associate of Arts in Business Administration, which has deeply influenced my organized, dependable, and detail-oriented approach to caregiving. I am proud to offer a versatile range of support for families in my community, spanning across childcare, senior care, pet care, and house sitting. My childcare experience is extensive and hands-on. Having raised four daughters—navigating everything from the toddler years through middle school and all the way into adulthood—and now as a grandmother of three, managing a busy household is second nature to me. Beyond childcare, my professional background in healthcare customer service and my work providing specialized senior concierge services have given me a wealth of compassionate experience assisting seniors with their daily routines. I am also a huge animal lover and a proud dog mom to two large-breed Boxers, so handling big, energetic pets is absolutely no problem! Furthermore, as a state-commissioned Notary Public, I am extensively background-checked, highly organized, and trusted to handle sensitive situations, making me a remarkably reliable choice for house-sitting and keeping your home secure while you travel. I truly love caregiving because I have a deep passion for supporting families. I know firsthand how challenging it is to juggle professional duties with household management, and I find immense joy in providing the peace of mind and an extra set of capable hands that families need to thrive. On a personal note, when I am not working, I absolutely love cooking and am currently having a blast developing my own signature spice blend! My Summer Availability: With the school year wrapping up on May 22, I will be shifting to a highly flexible, full-day schedule. Whether you need dedicated daytime coverage while the kids are out of school, a multi-family Nanny Share, an afternoon pet sitter, or a reliable Friday date-night caregiver, my schedule is wide open to support your summer plans!

Paula $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello. I'm a retired Children's Social Worker and Reading Specialist who moved to AZ just last year. I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Work with a minor in Spanish and my grad school work was in Psychology. I have 30+ years of experience in multiple Child Development settings: Birth - 3, preschool, and school age settings. Bilingual (Spanish) - I held an Interpreter contract (federal) for 13 years in the Puget Sound/Greater Seattle area. Experience with ranges in age from 0-5 in Early Head Start/Head Start programs and Home Visitor program; middle school Resource (Mainstream Special Education) classroom and ESL (English as a Second Language) program, elementary school all grade levels in Resource classroom and ESL program; high school age Test Administrator (program eligibility determinations) for ESL programs. I was a certified WA state instructor for parenting classes ordered by the legal system - for 2 years, I taught a rotating 10 week course that was mandatory for divorcing parents, with an emphasis on its impact on children. I have raised my own 2 children and both are successfully adulting 20-somethings. I have experience with infants and toddlers with seizure disorders and motor skills therapies, fine motor concentration. I've had cats and Labrador Retrievers for decades. I also am a very active participant regarding the care of my mother, a long ago diagnosed dementia patient. I have extensive knowledge of a variety of reading curriculum and language acquisition practices. I am well versed in what is considered developmentally appropriate practice and consider myself to possess a good amount of patience. I am very active - a workout enthusiast, played competitive soccer for many years, rowed on the crew team at a D1 college, and have been an active snow skier and snowshoer since childhood (benefit of living by Mt Rainier in WA). I raised my own children to love hiking and kayaking and the thrill of the outdoors in general. I'm not a "device" person (while I understand that cell phones, computers, and iPads are necessary in today's world, I did my time with them and taught during the COVID years, etc - I'm not a fan and I always promote time spent outdoors or playing old fashioned games or learning in any other way besides the "digital" way). There's probably a lot more I could say about myself, but honestly I'm just looking for occasional or part time work in the field/arena in which I am the most experienced. Thank you for considering me.

Hi – my name is Raquel! I’m currently studying to become a bookkeeper and in the meantime I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services.
