Booked by 1 family in Phoenix, AZ

Im a 57 year old grandmother of 5 from Denver Colorado ,the only experience is with my own children and niece's and nephews, I took time off work to raise a family and be a stay at home wife and mother but am ready to join the workforce and I can apply my real lived experience to this type of job I also provide housekeeping duties and pet sitting i am also cpr certified

Cassie was available to come over on short notice and it was very helpful because she lived very close. I needed some time to be present at a meeting for work. She took out side my dog to meet the mobile groomers and then came back and began cleaning my apartment. She will be back tomorrow to finish up as she was only available for two hours today. I’m so glad to have met her through the UrbanSitter app and look forward to hiring her again in the future, for cleaning and any animal sitting that needs that arise. In the kitchen and never looked so clean! My cats loved her too❣️ she has a great can-do attitude and does well when you get her a list of the things you want done because as she proved to me today, they get done! Thank you!!!!

Booked by 1 family in Phoenix, AZ

Hi! My name is Keilynn and I just graduated with my bachelors of science at Grand Canyon University and currently working for the university as an assistant resident director. I got my degree in justice studies with a minor in forensic psychology and biblical studies. I grew up in a household that took in foster children so I have always been like a big sister of taking care of the kids and bonding with them. I often helped them with homework, learning to tie shoes, feeding, teaching them simple motor skills, driving them to their extracurricular after school or to just spend the day with them, etc. I’ve handled 13 days old- 13 year old children both at home and as a job position when I was a program instructor for my own 5th and 6th grade classroom. I truly enjoyed this position so much and it made me desire to work with kids even more. I love hikes, church, scenery, art, and more. Can’t wait to work with you and your children and feel free to ask any questions you desire!!

"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!"
