Sara South Jordan
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have been taking care of children for 20 years, including raising my own child who is now 11. When I take care of children, I work on many things. I work on learning things such as colors, letters, shapes, numbers and more with young children. I even work with older children on learning to read. On top of this, I always have lots of games and play time. I have taken care of children of every age and cared for up to 9 children at once, including a newborn. The children are always my first priority and I love children. I am responsible and reliable. I have taken care of children (and adults) with special needs. I have learned to take care of many different personalities. I'm kind, caring, and loving. I am fun and energetic with the children, but I am firm enough that it stays a good, loving, safe environment. I care for, and treat, any child I take care of as though they are my own. I hope to hear from you.

Kari South Jordan
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kari, and I'm 23 years old with 7 years of experience caring for children ranging from 6 weeks to 11 years old. I've worked as a babysitter as well as in a childcare center, and I'm currently a nanny for three boys-ages 1, 5, and 7. The 1 yr old I nanny is going to start daycare in February so I'm looking for another family to nanny for while my other two nanny kiddos are in school. Ideally looking for a family needing care M-Th 9:30am-3 p.m. and Fridays 9:30am-1:15 p.m. I can help with meal prep, nap time, light house keeping, and taking the kids to activities such as library story time or the park!

Booked by 2 families in South Jordan, UT

Hi! I’m Iisha.
 I’ve lived in Utah for most of my life, and I’m now raising my family here with my husband and our two school-aged children. I have a deep love for kids and truly enjoy spending quality time with them. I’m passionate about creating fun, engaging, and nurturing experiences for children. Some of my favorite activities include reading, arts and crafts, cooking, outdoor play, and outings to places like the library, zoo, or aquarium. I'm also very comfortable with daily routines like diaper changes, naps, feedings, and light household tasks. I’m happy to help with pets (both cats and dogs) and light errands as needed. Safety is a top priority for me—I am CPR certified and always focused on creating a safe, caring environment. I would love to support a family looking for a nurturing, reliable nanny to care for and connect with their little one(s) during the week!

Highly recommend! Always shows up early but most importantly the kids love her. Great with keeping the kids engaged. Takes them on walks, makes meals, & cleans up! We never have to worry about the kids when Iisha is taking care of them!

Booked by 1 family in South Jordan, UT

Hi my name is Hercy! I have experience taking care of kids between 6 months old to 10 years old. I took care of 3 beautiful girls for almost 3 years. Also I used to take care of a baby boy for 6 months, he was 5 months old then. I can take them to different activities. Also I love dogs so if you have one I will feel comfortable and happy as well around them. I speak Spanish so I can teach them some words if you want me to do it!

Our boys loved hanging out with Hercy! They talked about all the fun things they did, from playing with toys to building things to going sledding. Hercy was also flexible when we were running late. Would definitely recommend Hercy!
