Vee $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Vee, and I'm currently attending Mesa Community College, majoring in Musical Theatre. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have experience working with children, from newborns to teenagers, both as a babysitter and a counsellor. I love playing and encouraging imagination, I’m very crafty, I have experience in tutoring and helping with homework, I can cook, and I’m a singer! I am certified in adult and pediatric first aid/CPR. I love working with animals, and have owned many over the course of my life. I have no allergies, so I can work with any animals you may have. I have direct experience with more traditional pets – such as dogs, cats, rodents – and with more exotic animals – like most reptiles and birds. I am experienced in household chores, like cooking, cleaning, laundry. I will happily help clean your house, and I have no issue with house-sitting, especially if you have plants.

Alisha $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!

Anna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anna, an experienced and dependable caregiver who has loved working with kids since I was a teenager. Over the years, I’ve babysat for families regularly and even spent a summer as a live-in nanny in the Hamptons caring for three children. My background includes a career in creative and client-focused roles, which has made me super organized, patient, and adaptable. I love planning fun, screen-free activities, whether that’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy traveling, being in nature, trying new coffee shops, and spending time with my friends and family. I’m great with pets, and committed to making sure kids feel safe, supported, and happy.
