Booked by 1 family in Tempe, AZ

Reliable and responsible 18-year-old college student at Arizona State University available for part-time nanny and babysitting jobs. As the oldest of three, I’ve spent years helping care for my two younger siblings (now 12 and 9), so I’m comfortable with homework help, school routines, meals, and keeping kids entertained without constant screens. I’m punctual, patient, and easygoing, and I take safety seriously. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, rides to activities, and pet care as needed. Looking for occasional or part-time jobs that fit around my college schedule. References available.

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!!!!

"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!"
