I bring 20+ years of childcare experience and, as a mom myself, I know how important reliable, safe, and engaging care really is. WHY PARENTS CHOOSE ME Hospital volunteer for 18+ months - I spend my free time cuddling babies in Phoenix Children's Hospital CVICU because I genuinely love caring for little ones. This experience has prepared me for children with various medical needs and given me comfort with all ages. I've truly seen it all - From one-week-old newborns to teenagers, kids with autism, ADHD, severe allergies, and medical complexities. I worked as a professional nanny for 3 years and spent 7 years as a youth minister with middle and high schoolers. Plus, raising my own kids (one with sensory issues, one with Celiac disease) has given me real-world experience with developmental and dietary challenges. Safety you can trust - Former lifeguard and swim instructor with multiple CPR certifications, fingerprinting, and food handler training. Your children's safety is always my top priority. I follow your lead - Whether you have strict schedules and house rules or prefer a more relaxed approach, I adapt to your family's style.

THE FUN STUFF I'm all about making childhood magical! From age-appropriate crafts and Montessori activities to educational adventures at the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden (where I'm a member). I've taken 180 teenagers to Disneyland AND spent quiet afternoons with little ones reading books at the library - I meet kids where they are. I WOULD LOVE TO SUPPORT YOU You're not just hiring a babysitter - you're getting someone who will genuinely care about your children's happiness, safety, and growth.

Hiii! I grew up in a divorced household with mostly just my dad around. I was left unattended a lot with my older sister and I always felt unsafe. Now as an older teenager, I just want to provide that safety and comfort of having someone there to children. I really want to be a teacher for younger kids, that’s why I try to babysit to get as much experience as possible. I love to do hands on interactive activities and I also love to be outside. I can also cook, bake, and clean!!

Hey! My name is Samantha, or Samy for short! I'm a super caring and reliable sitter, and I honestly just love hanging out with kids. I've been babysitting for a few years now and would help my mom or family/friends with other kids while growing up, so I've gotten hands-on experience with all different ages, from little babies up to school-age kids. I know it's important to have some structure, but we always make sure we're having a blast too! My main goal is making sure the kids are comfortable and having the best time, so you, as parents can totally relax knowing they're in good hands. Families usually tell me I'm kind, really attentive, and super easy to communicate with. I truly enjoy being part of their day and making sure our time together is fun and positive!
