Raquel $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi – my name is Raquel! I’m currently studying to become a bookkeeper and in the meantime I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’m a Christian homeschool mom of three wonderful girls (11, 8, and 3), and I truly enjoy being around children. With over 11 years of hands-on experience as a stay-at-home mom, I’m very familiar with the ins and outs of caring for kids, managing a household, and looking after pets. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, reptiles, and fish. I love reading with kids, encouraging creativity, and keeping things fun but structured. Families can count on me to be dependable, patient, and attentive to detail.

Booked by 1 family in Cortaro, AZ

Hello! My name is Torrance, and I am currently a senior at the University of Arizona, majoring in English with a minor in Psychology. I come from a family of educators—both my mom and my oldest sister are kindergarten teachers—which is where my love for working with children truly began. I have spent time helping in their classrooms and have seen firsthand how important patience, kindness, and consistency are for kids. I have been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience caring for children of different ages. I have lived in Tucson for the past three years and am looking to start babysitting again. I am responsible, dependable, and very attentive to children’s needs. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, playing games, or keeping a consistent routine. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children with the same attention and care I would want for my own.
