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.”
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!
I’ve spent the past 3+ years working with children of all ages, from preschoolers to middle schoolers. I started as an intern at an elementary school and now work in a school setting supporting both learning and play. I’m patient, dependable, and creative, with a strong passion for helping kids feel safe, confident, and cared for. I also enjoy helping with light household tasks and caring for pets, making me a well-rounded and reliable caregiver for any family.
Hi! My name is Kelley and I live in Phoenix. I am a single mother to two wonderful kids. I have 19 years of experience in elementary education as a paraprofessional in Special Ed. With my experience in special ed, I can bring a unique combination of patience, creativity and fun to your children while they are in my care. I love to discover the unique abilities and talents of each child and watch them learn and explore their world. I am able to come to your home and I have reliable transportation. I have been caring for children for most of my life including infants through school aged children.
Hello! I grew up in the Phoenix area and have worked in several child care facilities as an infant/toddler/preschool teacher, been a nanny, and held a position as a head start teacher. I've earned a bachelor's degree in child development and a master's degree in psychology.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
