Hi, my name is Amber. I’m currently a student at University College of Nursing, entering my third year as I pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Originally from California, I moved to Arizona for school and have truly enjoyed the experience so far. I’m 21 years old and offer reliable child care services. I have hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens, primarily through babysitting my younger cousins. I’m responsible, nurturing, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for the families I work with.

Marilyn $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Scottsdale, AZ

My goal as a babysitter is to provide a safe, caring, and playful environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love the energy, curiosity, and joy they bring to everyday life. I have cared for and tutored children for much of my life. Growing up with triplet siblings gave me plenty of hands-on experience with toddlers, young children, and preteens, and taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable when caring for multiple children at once. I am comfortable preparing meals, changing diapers, helping with potty training, assisting with homework, keeping children entertained, and maintaining their routines. I am also happy to help with light household tasks or errands when needed. I also have experience volunteering and working with children through YMCA Camp Shaver in Jemez Springs, New Mexico, where I participated in a two-year leadership and counselor-in-training program. I am currently completing clinical training in the Mayo Clinic echocardiography program and am looking for part-time childcare opportunities while I finish my program. I am responsible, dependable, and excited to get back into childcare and get to know some wonderful families! Thank you for considering me for your childcare needs! :)

"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!"
