Hello my name is Shannon and I am 26 years old. I have always loved working with kids and have volunteered in classrooms and babysat since I was 16. I have the most experience with ages newborn - 12 years. I grew up in CA and since moving to AZ four years ago I have regularly babysat for multiple families. I am experienced with watching multiple children at a time and will never be deterred by a teething baby. I am CPR certified and am experienced with cooking for children with allergies. I am always willing to help out with homework, meals, bath time, cleaning, etc. I am flexible and am willing to work with you on what you and your child need! References are available upon request.

“Shannon was very kind and communicative. Will definitely be rebooking her for future needs with our puppies. ”

Booked by 13 families in Anthem, AZ

I started babysitting when I was 12 and have continued to throughout my life. I’m a mother of two boys, 22 and 20 and we had a dog and multiple cats along the way. I worked at gym daycares when the kids were little as well as traded babysitting with friends with kids. I myself was raised with a younger sister and many animals including a pony, dogs, cats, fish, birds, a bunny, turtles and rats. I spent my summers at our families ranch in Northern California which has horses, cows, dogs, cats, peacocks, turkeys and pheasants. All in all I’ve had the joy of enjoying and taking care of many children and animals through the years and look forward to doing the same with yours.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
