"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Barbi $30 per hour for 1 child
My name is Barbi and I’m from Montana but I’m now living in the Phoenix area to be near and help my ailing father. I have homeschooled and raised 5 children. I love spending time with my grandchildren but they are 1500 miles away so I thought that helping out Arizona families would be good for my heart and a way to encourage and support parents as they do the most important job in the world raising their beloved kiddos! I am comfortable with all animals including farm animals and also willing to help out with household tasks or anything that would lessen the load for busy parents. My primary focus will always be the children. I love hands on learning so if it’s ok with parents I will include children in age appropriate tasks like cooking, animal care, household tasks as well as spend time reading, coloring, creative play, crafts, games, outside play, walks and anything that will expand the children’s imagination, encourage growth and fill their hearts with a love for life!
Zaira $17 per hour for 1 child
Hiii! I grew up in a divorced household with mostly just my dad around. I was left unattended a lot with my older sister and I always felt unsafe. Now as an older teenager, I just want to provide that safety and comfort of having someone there to children. I really want to be a teacher for younger kids, that’s why I try to babysit to get as much experience as possible. I love to do hands on interactive activities and I also love to be outside. I can also cook, bake, and clean!!
