Hi! I am a certified school counselor and work at a small title 1 school in downtown Phoenix. I am going on my 6th year at the school and work with ages ranging from preschool-8th grade. In my teenage and college years, I also babysat and nannied for multiple families in those age ranges. I love children and am always excited for hands on learning, playtime, crafts, and as a counselors love to focus on the social emotional aspect as well. I like to live a healthy and active lifestyle and tend to stay off technology and screens for as much as I can. I am really looking to connect with families that need more weekend care or care during school breaks! I am very loyal, responsible, and passionate about my career and would love to support more children and families in need!

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!

I've been babysitting and nannying for 7 years now. I'm currently in school part time and aside from my morning nannying job, my schedule is relatively free. I have experience caring for up to 4 young kids at a time, babies over 4 months old, twins as well as children with special needs. In addition to caring for your child(ren), I will gladly do light chore work, can take your kids to and from activities, and cook. I've also assisted in online learning myself, and can help your child with their school day or offer tutoring services while they're completing their school work. My special skills include conflict management, and having done extensive research on emotional development, I consider myself to be very knowledgeable in that area of care. I will treat your kids like my own, and will be responsible, communicative and diligent while caring for your child.

Lily is so sweet. My son loves playing with her on the days I've been able to book her. I will definitely hire her again.

$24 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone! My name is Amy. I am new to the app. I have been a special needs caregiver for 15 years. Currently I help manage a special needs group home. I’m comfortable with all ages, as well as pets (I have 2 dogs, 1 cat). I’m good with running errands, light housework, meal making, feeding, bathing, changing diapers, home organization, homework assistance, pet care, driving, sports, activities, etc. I coach soccer for my stepkids and I love keeping kids active. I’m CPR/First Aid certified as well as certified as a caregiver. I am looking to make a change from my special needs group home career into nannying while I go back to school to receive my Masters. I’m reliable, responsible, patient, kind and understanding. My top priority is to make sure your child feels safe, happy and cared for. References available. I look forward to meeting you soon! :)

I am an aunt to 4 girls and 2 boys, ranging from the ages of 4-16. Being that I first became an aunt at 8 years old, I grew up helping care for all ages. I love spending time with my nieces and nephews, especially the younger kids. Additionally, I grew up with both dogs and cats of all temperaments. I also occasionally care for a pair of Peterbald cats when the owners are out of town, which also includes housesitting. I have two bachelor degrees from NAU and currently work full time for a law firm. I am a very organized individual and always punctual. I love to keep a clean home and happy animals, and love spending time with my nieces and nephews. I would love to pass along the love to your household!
