Alisha Scottsdale
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Alisha, and I bring over 10 years of babysitting experience to families looking for reliable, caring support. Babysitting has been a meaningful part of my life for years, and I truly enjoy it. I’m especially skilled at managing large families, keeping siblings entertained together while giving each child the attention they need. I love organizing fun activities like crafts, games, and outdoor play, and I’m always happy to help with homework or prepare meals when needed. Parents often describe me as dependable, patient, and creative. Whether it’s a quick evening outing or extended care, I aim to bring peace of mind to every family I work with. My schedule is flexible, and I’m open to providing extended care when available. I look forward to meeting your family and supporting your childcare needs!

Booked by 7 families in Carefree, AZ

About me: I am a mom and have been babysitting since I was twelve years old. I am highly creative and organized and I enjoy arts and crafts, board games, playing dress up, tea parties, building lego sets, slime, riding bikes, baking, bedtime stories, etc….. I think it is important to provide children with a fun, safe, active, and enriched environment. I am enthusiastic, fun, patient, and responsible and I provide child care for a lot of date nights, families that are here on vacation, weddings, and single parents that just need some regular time for themselves. I can also provide overnight or weekend care once I get to know your children, if you need time away. I look forward to meeting you and your children soon!

We loved having April over to watch our son and we look forward to having her back again.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 10 families in Carefree, AZ

Hello! My name is Nicole and I absolutely adore children and the elderly. I have been babysitting now for the last few years and have lots of experience caring for my grandmother. I love animals and have 5 pets of my own! I am all for Christian values in a household and will support any rules, education, & activities you choose to implement in your children’s upbringing. I live an active lifestyle and would enjoy playing sports, going on walks, reading, and doing educational activities if needed. I have some veterinary experience as well, which will help with pets. I also have my cosmetology license, so I’m able to maintain haircuts as well. With a very open and flexible schedule, I just ask for no Sunday mornings as I’ll be in church. If you choose to hire me, I promise to uphold strong Christian values, give attention to detail, demonstrate multitasking & prioritization skills, and give lots of enthusiasm and sensitivity. I believe that being a good listener, having patience, and showing respect to children goes a long way when it comes to communication & discipline. I have a very caring and nurturing heart. I appreciate your consideration and the opportunity to assist your family. (Payment up front required for first time, and additional $5-20 for gas & drive time depending on distance.)
