Charli $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Charli, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with hands-on experience both nannying and working in daycares. I’m originally from North Dakota and recently relocated to Arizona, and childcare has been a big part of my life. I’ve worked in daycare settings where I cared for multiple children at once, followed daily routines, helped with meals, playtime, learning activities, and ensured a safe, positive environment. I’ve also nannied for families in my hometown, giving me one-on-one experience with children of different ages and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and energetic, and I truly enjoy creating a fun but structured environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m great at keeping children engaged through activities, helping with routines, and being someone parents can rely on and trust. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with pet care and am comfortable around dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, and general supervision. I take my responsibilities seriously, communicate well with parents, and always aim to be someone families feel confident leaving their children with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, loving care.

Marilyn $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Paradise Valley, AZ

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! :)

"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!"
