Booked by 1 family in Scottsdale, 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!!!!”

Anna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anna, an experienced and dependable caregiver who has loved working with kids since I was a teenager. Over the years, I’ve babysat for families regularly and even spent a summer as a live-in nanny in the Hamptons caring for three children. My background includes a career in creative and client-focused roles, which has made me super organized, patient, and adaptable. I love planning fun, screen-free activities, whether that’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy traveling, being in nature, trying new coffee shops, and spending time with my friends and family. I’m great with pets, and committed to making sure kids feel safe, supported, and happy.

Martha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Martha. I’m 46, I have been working with children professionally since I was 15, and have experience as a preschool teacher, autism therapist, school aide, and more. I’m CPR and First Aid certified along with several other credentials. I come prepared with activities, toys, and games! If this is your first time leaving your child, I understand how difficult that can be. I have experience supporting families through separation anxiety. I will comfort your child, validate their feelings, and try to help them work through it. I also prioritize keeping parents at ease—I’m happy to send updates, texts, and photos throughout our time together. I currently have a day job that I love, so I’m looking for part-time or occasional work. I’m also fully certified for respite care. Let's connect!

"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!"
