Booked by 1 family in Phoenix, AZ

I am a 31 year old Cardiology Fellow. I know you might be surprised, a doctor, huh ? As fellows we essentially make minimum wage and I have a lot of student loans so ! I worked as a nanny in medical school as well and loved it. I am excellent with both children and animals despite not choosing paediatrics or veterinary medicine as my profession; I am highly proficient in any emergent situation.

Beani is the best babysitter we ever had! If you are lucky enough to hire Beani, consider yourself blessed. Not only is she an accomplished medical doctor from South Africa who speaks 3 languages (which means she is highly educated and interesting to talk to, as well very professional), she is also warm, fun, and engaging, and was very attuned to my daughter, who absolutely adored spending time with her.

Hi, my name is Amber. I’m currently a student at University College of Nursing, entering my third year as I pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Originally from California, I moved to Arizona for school and have truly enjoyed the experience so far. I’m 21 years old and offer reliable child care services. I have hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens, primarily through babysitting my younger cousins. I’m responsible, nurturing, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for the families I work with.

I have extensive experience caring for children from 2½ months to 17 years old through professional nannying, babysitting, tutoring, and working in both home and school environments. I earned my degree in Elementary Education with minors in Special Education and English as a Second Language (ESL), which has given me a strong understanding of child development and how to support children with a wide range of learning styles and abilities. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children with and without disabilities, providing individualized care, academic support, and creating fun, structured environments where they can thrive. My experience includes classroom support, tutoring, homework help, planning engaging activities, preparing meals, maintaining routines, transporting children, and supervising outings and field trips. In addition to childcare, I have experience teaching swim lessons and coaching water polo, helping children build confidence, develop new skills, and stay active. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy taking kids on adventures like hikes, trips to the park, nature walks, and other activities that encourage curiosity, learning, and exploration. Families describe me as dependable, patient, energetic, and compassionate. I believe in creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel supported, valued, and encouraged to grow. My goal is to become a trusted part of your family’s team while providing exceptional care and giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are happy, safe, and well cared for.
