Booked by 4 families in Apache Junction, AZ

Hello! My name is Kea. I am 28 and am a former elementary teacher who is passionate about child development! I taught for 4 years, and before that I was a teacher's assistant for 6 years as well as a babysitter for 4 years. While I have moved away from the teaching field for more of a work-life balance, my passion for child development has continued on. I would love to continue helping children grow and learn without making it a full time basis. In my free time I love reading, scrapbooking, and spending time outdoors.

Taetum $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! As a teenager, I lifeguarded for a very busy water park, and I learned to govern a child's behavior to keep them safe as well as interact with them in a manner that keeps the tone playful, yet informative. I taught countless swim classes over the summers with young children to pre-teens, and I found that maintaining a relational bond with kids makes the learning process stronger. I grew up with siblings over ten years younger than me and have spent their early years managing their behavior, learning habits, and their fun. I have also babysat for neighbors, especially during high school and after high school. I would love to find a family to connect with and provide meaningful, engaging care for!
