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.

Samantha $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and enthusiastic person who loves working with children and animals. I’ve been working at a preschool for a little over a month, and I absolutely love it! Although I currently work with preschool-aged children, I’m open to caring for children of all ages. I enjoy doing all kinds of activities with kids, from playing games and making crafts to helping them learn and explore new things. I want every child to feel safe, happy, and cared for while having fun and being themselves. I’m also happy to offer pet-sitting services! I have two dogs and two cats of my own, and I’ve been helping foster cats my whole life. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. Whether you’re looking for someone to care for your children or look after your pets while you’re away, I’d love to help!

"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!"
