Amaya 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Carefree, AZ

Hi my name is Amaya, I am 20 years old and a college student majoring in psychology. I am patient and good with kids as an older sister myself. I also have experience in babysitting for family and friends as well as professional experience as an infant and toddler teacher at a preschool and as a private nanny.

“Amaya is very responsible. She is kind, loving, fun and a woman of her word (honest and has a high level of integrity). She has 2 younger sisters and while growing up has had plenty practice with being in charge. For many years, she’s also been responsible for watching her younger cousins, ranging in age from 3 months to 9 years old, often 4 at a time. Amaya does well with keeping documentation (of activities, meals, bedtimes, etc.) and is respectful of requests. Amaya is a great communicator and very trustworthy. If you choose to give Amaya an opportunity, you will not be disappointed!”

Hi! My name is Maria, I’m 21 years old and I’m from Brazil 🇧🇷. I’ve been working as a nanny since I was 16, and most of my experience is with newborns and toddlers. In the past two years, I’ve cared for two newborn families, staying with each of them for a full year. I’m passionate about helping little ones grow, learn, and feel safe. I’m very patient, organized, and always bring positive energy to my work. Parents describe me as responsible, caring, and easy to trust. Certifications & Skills: • CPR certified • Certified in newborn care • Sleep & nap training • Starting solids / baby-led weaning (BLW) • Early baby sign language • Infant colic relief massage • Developmental activities for newborns, babies, and toddlers I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Outside of childcare, I love being outdoors, playing with kids or dogs, having long conversations, and traveling — exploring new places is one of my favorite things! Available for full-time or occasional babysitting, with a flexible schedule and open to travel with families. Looking forward to meeting a wonderful family to work with 💛

Marilyn $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Carefree, AZ

My goal as a babysitter is to provide a safe, caring, and playful environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love the energy, curiosity, and joy they bring to everyday life. I have cared for and tutored children for much of my life. Growing up with triplet siblings gave me plenty of hands-on experience with toddlers, young children, and preteens, and taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable when caring for multiple children at once. I am comfortable preparing meals, changing diapers, helping with potty training, assisting with homework, keeping children entertained, and maintaining their routines. I am also happy to help with light household tasks or errands when needed. I also have experience volunteering and working with children through YMCA Camp Shaver in Jemez Springs, New Mexico, where I participated in a two-year leadership and counselor-in-training program. I am currently completing clinical training in the Mayo Clinic echocardiography program and am looking for part-time childcare opportunities while I finish my program. I am responsible, dependable, and excited to get back into childcare and get to know some wonderful families! Thank you for considering me for your childcare needs! :)
