Hi! My name is Maria, I’m 21 years old and I’m from Brazil 🇧🇷. I’ve been working as a nanny since I was 16, and most of my experience is with newborns and toddlers. In the past two years, I’ve cared for two newborn families, staying with each of them for a full year. I’m passionate about helping little ones grow, learn, and feel safe. I’m very patient, organized, and always bring positive energy to my work. Parents describe me as responsible, caring, and easy to trust. Certifications & Skills: • CPR certified • Certified in newborn care • Sleep & nap training • Starting solids / baby-led weaning (BLW) • Early baby sign language • Infant colic relief massage • Developmental activities for newborns, babies, and toddlers I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Outside of childcare, I love being outdoors, playing with kids or dogs, having long conversations, and traveling — exploring new places is one of my favorite things! Available for full-time or occasional babysitting, with a flexible schedule and open to travel with families. Looking forward to meeting a wonderful family to work with 💛

My goal as a babysitter is to provide a safe, caring, and playful environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love the energy, curiosity, and joy they bring to everyday life. I have cared for and tutored children for much of my life. Growing up with triplet siblings gave me plenty of hands-on experience with toddlers, young children, and preteens, and taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable when caring for multiple children at once. I am comfortable preparing meals, changing diapers, helping with potty training, assisting with homework, keeping children entertained, and maintaining their routines. I am also happy to help with light household tasks or errands when needed. I also have experience volunteering and working with children through YMCA Camp Shaver in Jemez Springs, New Mexico, where I participated in a two-year leadership and counselor-in-training program. I am currently completing clinical training in the Mayo Clinic echocardiography program and am looking for part-time childcare opportunities while I finish my program. I am responsible, dependable, and excited to get back into childcare and get to know some wonderful families! Thank you for considering me for your childcare needs! :)

Hi there! My name is Amanda! I am a recent Master's of Education graduate looking for some occasional work. I have been babysitting since I was 11. I am the oldest of 8 children, and helped my parents out with summer care when I was younger. Most recently, I was a Kindergarten teacher for the last 4 years, and worked in a daycare before that. During the school year, my schedule is more limited. I am able to help with homework, light household duties, and take care of pets. I have my own reliable vehicle and can run errands if needed. I am First Aid and CPR certified I am looking for some occasional work, especially for the last part of summer, but also over the school year as well!

Hello my name is Shannon and I am 24 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 2 months - 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.

Reliable, caring, and detail-oriented, I take pride in creating a safe and comfortable environment for both pets and homes. I have experience with cats, dogs and lizards of all temperaments and treat every animal like family. Whether it’s pet sitting, house sitting, or helping with light chores, I’m dependable and respectful of your space. I aim to bring peace of mind while you’re away. Friendly, communicative, and always attentive to the little details.

Deb was amazing with my puppy Maya! She was very sweet and attentive! I would definitely book again!
