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.

Vee $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Vee, and I'm currently attending Mesa Community College, majoring in Musical Theatre. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have experience working with children, from newborns to teenagers, both as a babysitter and a counsellor. I love playing and encouraging imagination, I’m very crafty, I have experience in tutoring and helping with homework, I can cook, and I’m a singer! I am certified in adult and pediatric first aid/CPR. I love working with animals, and have owned many over the course of my life. I have no allergies, so I can work with any animals you may have. I have direct experience with more traditional pets – such as dogs, cats, rodents – and with more exotic animals – like most reptiles and birds. I am experienced in household chores, like cooking, cleaning, laundry. I will happily help clean your house, and I have no issue with house-sitting, especially if you have plants.

Steve $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Steve! I live in the Moon Valley area of Phoenix, and I love dogs. My wife and I have said that we'd love to be able to make a living just being able to have fun with dogs everyday, though for normal life that generally isn't practical! :) Well, these days I have a chance to offer some doggy love for the furry hour legs when their people need someone to take care of them for a time. I've had dogs from a young age, from experiencing litters of puppies, to training just one, to helping them through later part of life, and to the point of having to say goodbye to more than one of my friends before. I've always related to dogs and most dogs like and trust me very readily. I'll be happy to make sure your pups, both young and old, are happy and well cared for and happy while you're not there to do it yourself.

"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!"
