Booked by 9 families in Sandy, UT

Hello! I'm currently working as a pediatric ultrasound tech. My current work schedule is 7 days on/7 off, so I'm available for occasional weekdays or weekends during my off weeks. I’ve spent most of my caring for children (ranging from newborn to 15y/o) in a variety of settings, whether it's within my family, helping neighbors with childcare, or at Montessori schools. Over the past few years as a sonographer, I've spent time extensive time working in the pediatric and NICU departments. I can also help with any school work, meal prep, light household tasks, or pet care. Feel free to message me if you have a date in mind. Or if your dates are flexible, we can coordinate to find an available day. - Fully vaccinated and boosted - CPR Certified

Hi! I’m Iisha.
 I’ve lived in Utah for most of my life, and I’m now raising my family here with my husband and our two school-aged children. I have a deep love for kids and truly enjoy spending quality time with them. I’m passionate about creating fun, engaging, and nurturing experiences for children. Some of my favorite activities include reading, arts and crafts, cooking, outdoor play, and outings to places like the library, zoo, or aquarium. I'm also very comfortable with daily routines like diaper changes, naps, feedings, and light household tasks. I’m happy to help with pets (both cats and dogs) and light errands as needed. Safety is a top priority for me—I am CPR certified and always focused on creating a safe, caring environment. I would love to support a family looking for a nurturing, reliable nanny to care for and connect with their little one(s) during the week!

Highly recommend! Always shows up early but most importantly the kids love her. Great with keeping the kids engaged. Takes them on walks, makes meals, & cleans up! We never have to worry about the kids when Iisha is taking care of them!

Booked by 1 family in Sandy, UT

Hi my name is Hercy! I have experience taking care of kids between 6 months old to 10 years old. I took care of 3 beautiful girls for almost 3 years. Also I used to take care of a baby boy for 6 months, he was 5 months old then. I can take them to different activities. Also I love dogs so if you have one I will feel comfortable and happy as well around them. I speak Spanish so I can teach them some words if you want me to do it!

Our boys loved hanging out with Hercy! They talked about all the fun things they did, from playing with toys to building things to going sledding. Hercy was also flexible when we were running late. Would definitely recommend Hercy!

$14 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Tabitha ! I am a student at Utah State University studying biology. I am offering childcare, pet care, and house care! I love spending time with kids! I have been babysitting for 5 years now, I have a lot of experience with infants- 9 year olds. During those 5 years I have done tons of crafts, dance parties, fun days at the park, field trips, and helped with homework. I can cook and bake mostly anything and I am very good working with food allergies and restrictions. I am also comfortable with bottles and formula. I have also watched countless pets including cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, birds, and reptiles. I can do short-term house sitting during the summer and also weekends year round. I spent most of my summer watching my nephews to get experience and I have been a sitter for a few families for 4 years straight. When I finish school I hope to be a pediatrician and getting to spend any time with kids and animals is always the highlight of my week!
