I have watched kids for many years! I have typically watched them within my family. I have watched kids for family friends as well. I have also house/pet sit for many people. I do school nearly full time and I work full time.
Hi! I’m Zoe. I’m an engineer student from Argentina. I’ve worked with kids for years and enjoy making them feel safe, entertained, and understood. I also adore animals and have experience taking care of dogs and cats, from playful puppies to older pets that need gentle care. I’m very organized and actually enjoy cleaning, keeping things neat makes me happy! Whether it’s tidying up, doing deep cleaning, or general home care, I put a lot of love into what I do. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with, I’d be happy to help!
Hi, my name is Penelope and I am a student at Grand Canyon University! I have worked for a company called Busy Bees located in Arizona for almost 3 years now. I have experience with a wide range of children. I love spending time with kids and being able to be creative and silly. I love crafts having dance parties and playing outside!
I’m kind and caring and follow instructions, I do my service to the best of my ability whether it’s watching someone’s fur baby or watching over someone’s home.
Hi, my name is Megan! I graduated from CU Denver in 2021 and I love playing with kids! I have always loved spending time with kids of all ages and happily began babysitting at a young age. I also spent many hours volunteering with children at my church. Since those early years, I have been the occasional babysitter, the long-term nanny, and worked in childcare at a business. I'm looking to find a new nanny position as the children I have been caring for most recently are aging out of needing my help. I am very child-led when it comes to play and exploration, giving little ones a chance to control a bit of their world and dictate the things that interest them the most. But I also do my best to set a structure and routine to the day, with expectations for what will be occurring at different times, to give the children a sense of stability. One of my favorite things to do with kids is play pretend. I love helping them learn about their world and help them explore and use their imaginations. I can help with some small chores like fixing meals for kids, dishes, and some laundry but I prefer to mainly do childcare. I'm very comfortable with pets but I am mildly allergic to fur.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
