Makenzie Salt Lake City
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Makenzie! I’m extremely outgoing, kind, observant, athletic, and I have great energy. I’ve been BLS/CPR certified for all ages (infants to seniors) since I was 16! I’m going to college right now for emergency medicine and firefighting. I have such a passion for helping others. Before moving to Utah I worked two times a week teaching kiddos & adults how to swim (all ages!) I’ve been working with kids for 1-2 years now and it’s been such a blessing. I’ve been told I’m excellent with children, and I’d love to help other families in anyway they need with their kids, animals, houses, etc!

Kasey Salt Lake City
$20 per hour for 1 child

I spent this past summer being a live in nanny for a NYC family with children of 3 month old boy, 6 year old boy, and 9 year old girl. Responsibilities included: overnight 24/7 care for the 3 month old baby, cooking meals for the family, keep the baby on a schedule with feedings and naps, laundry, driving the kids to sports camps, taking the kids on the bus to school in the city, playing games with the kid to keep them active and off technology, help as a family assistant for the parents. Before that I had a consistent family I nannied for at least 3 days a week during college. I started with the family when the little boy was 2 and the little girl was 3 months old. I was with them until she was 4 and he was 6. I kept them engaged in activities and learning as well as feedings and naps while the mom worked from home. It was so sad to say goodbye to them, they were like family to me. I also babysat for other families for date nights or weekend days. Ages ranges from 3 months to 10 years old. Before that I babysat at least once to three times a week during high school. I looked after children anywhere from one month old to 13 year olds. Responsibilities included: overnight stays, pick ups from school, drives to sport practices, chaperone playdates, cook meals, help with homework, take after dogs, drive family's car to activities, drop off and pickup from airport, and any household activities.

Booked by 3 families in Salt Lake City, UT

I am a college student who loves to help out others when needed! I am able to cook many delicious and nutritious meals. I was a nanny during my summer, but unfortunately the job did not work well with my school schedule. I am able to help with just about all homework, if anyone needs help with it! I have great experience with animals too! I have had a dog for as long as I can remember, but I also have been cat sitting for my friends for a while too. Not only can I help out with child and pet care, but I can help out with cleaning! I love to clean, and often when I am watching kids, I encourage us to alll clean up after our messes.

"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!"
