Mackenzie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Kenzie and I am a law student in my final year of school. Growing up in Utah and as the eldest in a big family, I grew up around kids and grew up babysitting often. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 12 years old. I am 12 and 14 years apart from my youngest siblings and helped raise them since they were newborns. In college at the University of Utah, I tutored kids from Korea in English, where I enjoyed making assignments, homework, and developing unique ways of teaching to fit their learning style. In my free time outside of school, I enjoy reading, knitting, cooking, and hanging out with friends.

Lisa $18 per hour for 1 child

I have over 25 years of experience working with children in various settings from training adults who serve children birth to 3, to being a nanny caring for four children. Currently, and for past five years, I have been working with middle school children with special needs specifically, Autism. I have extensive experience with children birth-3 and significant experience with ADHD and behaviors. I'm a few courses shy of my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and have significant amounts of training in various areas in education. I took a break from school to support my stepson who struggled in school. I value all children and their abilities. I enjoy working with children and believe all children should be encouraged to be kind, good, human beings and I believe we, as adults working with children are integral in making that happen.

Erica $15 per hour for 1 child

I've worked with small children since age 14, as a nursery assistant. I was VP of the PTO board of an elementary school for 3.5 years, and also school mom during my time there. I most recently spent 3 years as a personal caretaker of an elderly blind man. I've always been great with those young in age and those up in age. I have an old soul but I'm a child at heart.

"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!"
