Hello! My name is Katelyn, and I am a fun, loving, optimistic 21-year-old girl. I just recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Arizona State University, which is very exciting! By choice, I did a majority of my clinical rotations at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, as I am most interested in caring for children. I absolutely adore everything about them; their eagerness to learn, their curiosity, fun and loving spirits, imaginations, playful natures, etc! I'm all about having a good time with them, and will support any and all of their needs. I would be honored to care for anyone's child -- my intention is to protect their safety and well-being at all costs. Going into more about who I am as a person, I believe I am (and strive to be) a kind, caring, considerate, respectful, and understanding individual. I am also very adventurous, easy-going, and open-minded. I'm up for anything. I love to cook, bake delicious treats, read, occasionally play cutesy-girly video games on my Nintendo Switch (but I'm definitely open to playing more intense games if you have a girl or boy who loves that type of stuff!), explore nature, swim, and be goofy. I am very family-oriented as well. I have had my driver's license since the day I turned 16, so I have been driving for about 5 years now. I have a clean record, and have driven short-distance, long-distance, in the rain, during dust storms, you name it. I can handle all types of environments. I am CPR certified as well. As for my childcare experience, I babysat many of my younger cousins for years, worked as a teacher's assistant at a math and reading center for 1 year, and was a full-time lead teacher at KinderCare for 6 months in the year 2024. I loved both jobs, and only left for school reasons. I have experience in caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners. I am happy to help out with anything you need. Crafts, homework, driving to appointments, school, or extracurriculars, etc.

“Jennifer was wonderful with my boys! She kept both of them happy & they loved playing with her. They were well-fed, loved and sleeping soundly when I got home. Will definitely book with her again! ”
Hi, my name is Sierra! I am 25 years old and am looking for some extra babysitting gigs. I have 10+ years of childcare experience, working with various ages and I enjoy coming up with different activities to keep the children engaged. I’m very detail oriented and organized so I can help maintain a good structure. I am open to helping with household tasks, mainly related to the child, but open to discussing others. Qualifications/Experience: -Bachelor degree in Psychology, taken several childhood/development courses -CPR/First Aid up to date -Water safety class -Fingerprint clearance card -Experience with multiples, twins, & newborn through early teen years -Experience with children who have autism (I currently still work with them regularly); OCD, nonverbal -Potty training experience/support
Hi! My name is Lauryn. I am a mom of 5 boys, ranging from 4-14. I opened my in home daycare in 2015 when my second youngest was 10 months. Prior to opening my daycare, I worked in Senior Living as a caregiver, and care coordinator in the memory care setting. I am CPR and First Aid certified, along with having a level one fingerprint card. My days and weekends consist of running my boys to sports and attending their games on the weekends. I am also available for Senior companion care, along with housekeeping, errands, and tasks for seniors.
