Booked by 10 families in Scottsdale, AZ

Hi! My name is Kyla, and I'm currently a college student majoring in Elementary Education. I'm offering childcare services and would love the opportunity to work with your family. I have a genuine passion for working with children and have several years of experience caring for kids of all ages, especially infants and toddlers. While I’m confident with newborns and older children as well, I find that I naturally connect with younger age groups thanks to my playful and patient nature. Growing up, I frequently cared for younger family members, which helped me develop strong instincts and a deep understanding of children's needs. I'm creative, energetic, and enjoy engaging kids in fun, educational activities like arts and crafts, storytelling, imaginative play, and games. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, cooking, homework help, and basic tutoring. I'm reliable, responsible, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for the children I care for.

“She’s amazing , communication Was great & my babies love her. Her energy , will definitely be booking her again :)”

Booked by 11 families in Scottsdale, AZ

Hello! My name is Nicole and I absolutely adore children and the elderly. I have been babysitting now for the last few years and have lots of experience caring for my grandmother. I love animals and have 5 pets of my own! I am all for Christian values in a household and will support any rules, education, & activities you choose to implement in your children’s upbringing. I live an active lifestyle and would enjoy playing sports, going on walks, reading, and doing educational activities if needed. I have some veterinary experience as well, which will help with pets. I also have my cosmetology license, so I’m able to maintain haircuts as well. With a very open and flexible schedule, I just ask for no Sunday mornings as I’ll be in church. If you choose to hire me, I promise to uphold strong Christian values, give attention to detail, demonstrate multitasking & prioritization skills, and give lots of enthusiasm and sensitivity. I believe that being a good listener, having patience, and showing respect to children goes a long way when it comes to communication & discipline. I have a very caring and nurturing heart. I appreciate your consideration and the opportunity to assist your family. (Payment up front required for first time, and additional $5-20 for gas & drive time depending on distance.)

"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!"
