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!
Hi, my name is Amber. I’m currently a student at University College of Nursing, entering my third year as I pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Originally from California, I moved to Arizona for school and have truly enjoyed the experience so far. I’m 21 years old and offer reliable child care services. I have hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens, primarily through babysitting my younger cousins. I’m responsible, nurturing, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for the families I work with.
I’ve been teaching in grades 1-6 for the past 17 years. I have daily experience working with 25+ children. I am dependable and hardworking. I currently have two pitbull dogs but grew up mucking stalls for our horses, taking care of various types of birds, reptiles and fish. My mom is a senior who is on oxygen so I am familiar with the frequent doctor visits and needs of seniors. I am a full time teacher so I am currently looking to work during the summer months and extended holidays.
Hello! I’m a compassionate, reliable, and hardworking caregiver with experience supporting children and families. As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve always enjoyed helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. I began working with children in 2013 as a CNA at a children’s hospital, where I learned the importance of patience, safety, and compassionate care. I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and will graduate within the next year while attending school online. As an endurance athlete, I enjoy running, hiking, cycling, and encouraging active, healthy lifestyles. I also enjoy reading with children, helping with homework, and maintaining routines and structure. I’m looking to support families through childcare, homework help, light housekeeping, errands, pet sitting,and everyday household needs.
Hi! My name is McKenzi, and I’m a high school senior offering childcare and household services! I’ve babysat throughout high school and have experience caring for multiple children at once, including a baby, toddler, and elementary-aged child! For the past three summers, I’ve worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor teaching infants through 18-year-olds, and most recently coached kids on the Centennial Stingrays swim team. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a certified assistant teacher through my COOP and child development programs at my high school, and have classroom experience as an assistant teacher. I’m organized, alert, and dependable, and I’m happy to help with pets and light housekeeping. I’m also bubbly, creative, and love making kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.
