Jorah $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Jorah! I've been working in childcare for much of my life. I am the eldest of three siblings, and have volunteered at youth summer camps all throughout junior high and high school. I love children of all ages and can't wait to be a mother one day. I also enjoy house and pet care as I've grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats. I would be delighted to care for your child(ren)/ pet(s).

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

Hello! My name is Torrance, and I am currently a senior at the University of Arizona, majoring in English with a minor in Psychology. I come from a family of educators—both my mom and my oldest sister are kindergarten teachers—which is where my love for working with children truly began. I have spent time helping in their classrooms and have seen firsthand how important patience, kindness, and consistency are for kids. I have been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience caring for children of different ages. I have lived in Tucson for the past three years and am looking to start babysitting again. I am responsible, dependable, and very attentive to children’s needs. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, playing games, or keeping a consistent routine. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children with the same attention and care I would want for my own.

$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 41 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.

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!"
