Tsoi $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi this is Michelle. I am originally from Hong Kong but have been living in the states for 7 years now. I graduated from BYU in 2025 and am currently working as a family advocate for Head Start. In my role, I'm regularly in classrooms assisting teachers, engaging with children, helping manage routines and transitions, and supporting kids with a variety of needs. Working closely with young children is a big part of my everyday life, and I genuinely enjoy it. I'm a dependable and caring caregiver with experience working with both children and pets. I have experience supporting children through volunteer and internship roles, including working with preschool-aged children in an autism preschool, and with youth and families at the Children Justice Center. I'm patient, energetic, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and valued. I can help with playtime, homework, routines, meals, transportation, and household tasks. I also have pet-sitting experience through TrustedHousesitters, where I've earned 4 five-star reviews caring for cats in their homes. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Families often describe me as responsible, communicative, organized, and easy to trust. Whether I'm caring for children or pets, my goal is to help everyone feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Booked by 2 families in Sandy, UT

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!”

"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!"
