$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 42 families in Tucson, AZ

Hello everybody! My name is Edie, and I am 30 years old. I recently moved back to Tucson, AZ from Seoul, South Korea where I worked as a traveling English teacher for 4 years. I taught 3-4 year olds (pre-k) as well as elementary school (after school care/tutoring). Before being an English teacher, I worked several child-care jobs such as: live-in nanny (1.5 years), preschool teacher (1 year due to COVID), and nanny/babysitter (7 years). Before working with kids (and while working with kids), I was a Certified Nursing Assistant and have worked in a long-term care facility as well as a private 1:1 caregiver for an elderly client. In addition, I have experience with multiple health factors including mental and physical disabilities, I have taken courses in child psychology and developmental psychology, and I was a girl scout for 6 years! When it comes to childcare, I believe in patience, fun and the promotion of education while spending time with children. Healthy snack creations, backyard activities that promote exercise, games that encourage imagination and enhanced thinking skills.. I have a long list of fun foods and creative activities tried out with my students, siblings, family members and past children I've cared for that always bring joy and smiles to a child's face.

“Reliable, professional and my kids really enjoyed her, I’ll be reaching out when I need again!”

Gianna $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Gianna, but you can call me Gia! Currently, I am an 18 year old senior at Flowing Wells High School. I love to dance, sing, bake, and craft things! I started helping babysit at 8 or 9. I had a nanny and she couldn’t help all the kids at once so she trusted me to help with the babies. I’ve also babysat relatives children and my own siblings. Last year I received training at PACC and I became certified Cat Handler! I am very responsible, kindhearted, caring, understanding, patient, and quick to come up with solutions which I think makes me a very good caregiver.

Morgen $16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Tucson, AZ

Hi!! I’m originally from Minnesota but moved here less than a year ago so I’m hoping to find some new families to take care of. I’ve had over 5 years of paid childcare experience, but have been helping my family and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I am confident I’d be a great fit for you and your family’s needs because I am patient and always trying to find new ways to engage with your children. My biggest hope when caring for your children is that they want to have me back. I’m also flexible with whatever help you may need: cleaning, meal prep, transportation, etc. I hope to hear from you soon!

"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!"
