Ed policy consultant with several years of experience with both young children and family pets. I love sitting for families and getting to interact with kids as they're young and curious. In my spare time, I enjoy reading.

Great Sitter. Easy to work with.

I worked for Tucson Unified School District for 3 years as an after school care supervisor. Additionally, I worked for 2 summers as a children’s sports camp counselor for Tucson Country Club. Through these experiences, I met wonderful families who entrusted me with watching their little ones at home. I took care of dozens of pets for families I worked for as well as house sat for extended periods (maximum 3 weeks). I am responsible, diligent, and courteous and would love to help you relax while you’re away!

Thanks!

Hi! My name is Caroline and I am currently 19 and a student at Rhodes College. I have close to 5 years of experience working with children. I have worked as an assistant and a teacher at summer camps with elementary age kids, and I have worked several babysitting/ tutoring jobs throughout high school with kids aged 2-8 years old!

Caroline was great. Very communicative and asked a lot of thoughtful questions. I loved that she texted an update when my oldest was fighting sleep. She was so attentive and kind. Thank you, Caroline!

"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!"
