I am a 22 year old, full time firefighter/ emt with a bachelor degree in Spanish and Biology. I was a nanny prior to joining the fire service and have over 6 years of experience with newborns, infants, toddlers and school age kids. I absolutely love kids & decided I want to continue to babysit part time on my days off. I can help with things such as driving, tutoring, cooking, cleaning. I am fluent in spanish & of course am CPR/ first aid certified as I am an EMT. Something you should know about me is that I have a little sister, who I would do absolutely anything for and I would care for your children as if they were my own.

Hi, I'm Jorah! I've been working in childcare for much of my life. I am the eldest of three siblings, and have volunteered at youth summer camps all throughout junior high and high school. I love children of all ages and can't wait to be a mother one day. I also enjoy house and pet care as I've grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats. I would be delighted to care for your child(ren)/ pet(s).
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.
Hello everybody! My name is Edie, and I am 30 years old. I recently moved back to Tucson, AZ from Seoul, South Korea where I worked as a traveling English teacher for 4 years. I taught 3-4 year olds (pre-k) as well as elementary school (after school care/tutoring). Before being an English teacher, I worked several child-care jobs such as: live-in nanny (1.5 years), preschool teacher (1 year due to COVID), and nanny/babysitter (7 years). Before working with kids (and while working with kids), I was a Certified Nursing Assistant and have worked in a long-term care facility as well as a private 1:1 caregiver for an elderly client. In addition, I have experience with multiple health factors including mental and physical disabilities, I have taken courses in child psychology and developmental psychology, and I was a girl scout for 6 years! When it comes to childcare, I believe in patience, fun and the promotion of education while spending time with children. Healthy snack creations, backyard activities that promote exercise, games that encourage imagination and enhanced thinking skills.. I have a long list of fun foods and creative activities tried out with my students, siblings, family members and past children I've cared for that always bring joy and smiles to a child's face.
“Reliable, professional and my kids really enjoyed her, I’ll be reaching out when I need again!”
