Booked by 9 families in Scottsdale, AZ

Hi my name is Lexi and I am 25 years old. I just moved back to Scottsdale after being on the east coast for a year! I graduated from Arizona State University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN, RN) in May 2023. That being said I am CPR/BLS certified and am a RN (Registered Nurse) with a year and a half experience working at a Level 1 Trauma Center in the Emergency Room and now working in a surgical setting at a Level 1 Trauma Center. I work 4 days a week M-F and am occasionally on-call for weekends and nights, so I have occasional availability! I grew up with two younger siblings and have been watching over them from a young age. I have had several babysitting jobs throughout the years and still continue to do it for my love of the job. I have experience watching ages ranging from 4 months-11 years old. I am a reliable, friendly, caring, and look forward to meeting your kids! :) Please feel free to message me with any questions!

Booked by 4 families in Scottsdale, AZ

I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education, and a Master’s in Instructional Design. I've been a first-grade teacher for the past 8 years, and I’m passionate about working with children and animals. I began babysitting as a teenager and continued through college. Today, I’m a trusted caregiver for the children of close friends, and I fully understand the importance of creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. Outside of teaching, I volunteer with local rescues and foster dogs, providing them with a loving temporary home. I'm professional, friendly, and reliable—and committed to caring for every child or animal as if they were my own.

Michelle is excellent with children. She is compassionate, kind and enthusiastic. Her caring personality, positive attitude, and reliability make her a good choice for a babysitter.

Booked by 1 family in Scottsdale, AZ

Hi! My name is Kaley, and I'm originally from Omaha, Nebraska. I'm currently seeking babysitting opportunities as I explore my next career move. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Childcare has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, I started babysitting and nannying when I was just 12 years old. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience working with children of all ages, including roles at daycares throughout high school and college and as a summer care provider for elementary-aged kids. I'm dependable, enthusiastic, and ready to help however I can. Whether you need childcare, meal prep, light housekeeping, or help running errands, I'm happy to lend a hand. I'd love the chance to support your family and make your day a little easier!

Kaley was extremely helpful and my daughter had a great time with her. She is professional, reliable and I hope to have her back again! Thank you!

Hi my name is Victoria and I am an ASU graduate who is also currently an ASU employee. I graduated with honors and bachelors of science in Biology and Psychology with an emphasis in Neurobiology. After focusing on my studies for so long I am taking this time to enjoy life by traveling, spending time with friends and family, and exploring new hobbies. In addition to my current part-time job, I would like to earn some other money on the side through helping families watch their most precious loved ones. I have plenty of previous experience taking care of children! I used to be the neighborhood babysitter when I was in junior high and high school, taking care of my next door neighbor's two children (starting at ages 3 and 7), and my other neighbor's daughter (aged 6-10). In addition, I was a volunteer and staff member at the local rec center for 6 years. There, I was in charge of running sports and arts and crafts activities for children aged 5-12. They also had me work our cool kids club where I watched children aged 2-5 while their parents worked out or took a trip to the library. I also have an abundance of experience in watching peoples' pets. I have taken care of the furry friends of neighbors, friends, and family for as long as I can remember! I have grown up with family dogs and know the amount of responsibility it takes to make sure they are loved and living an enriched life. Currently, I take care of my roommate's dog on a regular basis, and she frequently has dogs over for overnight stays, where I assist as well. In college, I was a research assistant in the Canine Science Collaboratory, where we ran behavioral studies on dogs. Through that experience, I can effectively determine a dog's temperament and any special needs they may need to feel comfortable. Though most of my experience is with dogs, I also feel comfortable with cats and other pets and love them just as much! I am just an animal girl at heart. I am willing to take on any cleaning or household tasks that families may need help with as well. I just love staying busy!

I am a mother of a three year old. I am 25 years young but have a handful of years of experience taking care of children from 1-17. I’ve gained this experience taking care of/ babysitting my three year old, and 3 younger siblings. My siblings range from 11-21, and I have younger cousins I helped raise as well. I am able to relate with kids because my experience with my siblings have proven to be positive, and growing. I am caring, understanding, and know how to cook amazing food if need be! Caregiver for 2+ years. Most of all I am patient and know how to help sort emotions in a gentle manner/voice.
