Retired Registered Nurse, mother of 5 grown children. Love to watch children learn and grow. Very patient. I usually help with household chores when i babysit. I am very observant so nothing gets past me. Love dogs.
“We had an amazing experience with Linda! She was able to keep up with a high energy 4-year old better than a lot of other babysitters we've had. She came fully prepared and even brought coloring books and crayons, which was very nice. My daughter absolutely loved playing with her and we would love Linda to babysit for us again!”
Hi, my name is Adela! I’m 52 years old and offer both child care and senior care services. As a proud mom of three (all grown now!), I homeschooled them all the way through high school, so I’ve spent many years caring for and guiding children through all stages of development. I truly love being around kids, playing age-appropriate games, reading together, doing crafts, or even heading out to classes or appointments. I’m happy to prepare simple, healthy meals and I’m also very comfortable with pets, so I’d be glad to help care for them too. While I don’t have professional senior care experience, I’m a kind, attentive, and compassionate person who is happy to offer companionship and support when needed. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I always keep safety as a top priority. I’m also a Christian and attend Central Christian Church, and I try to bring patience, honesty, and a warm heart into every home I enter. I’d love the chance to support your family and bring a sense of calm, care, and consistency to your daily routine. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or ask any questions!
“I would recommend Adela to anyone who needs a caring and kind person to look after their babies. She was punctual and brought a very calm presence to my household. She’s knowledgeable and patient. I am happy she was able to watch my 10 month old. ”
Hello! My name is Kea. I am 28 and am a former elementary teacher who is passionate about child development! I taught for 4 years, and before that I was a teacher's assistant for 6 years as well as a babysitter for 4 years. While I have moved away from the teaching field for more of a work-life balance, my passion for child development has continued on. I would love to continue helping children grow and learn without making it a full time basis. In my free time I love reading, scrapbooking, and spending time outdoors.
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.

I am looking for occasional baby sitting work. I have experience working in a preschool and childcare center. I also do kids ministry at church. I have mainly worked in toddler rooms (age 1-2) and preK.
“Jennifer was wonderful with my boys! She kept both of them happy & they loved playing with her. They were well-fed, loved and sleeping soundly when I got home. Will definitely book with her again! ”

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
