"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Gabriela $15 per hour for 1 child
Growing up with five younger siblings, I’ve been caring for children practically my entire life! I absolutely adore kids and love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable and thrive. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and caring, with plenty of hands-on experience keeping children entertained, helping with daily routines, and making sure they feel loved and supported. Caring for children has always come naturally to me, and I would love the opportunity to bring that same care and dedication to your family!
Kiana $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi I am Kiana. I currently work at an elementary school as a special education paraprofessional during school hours. I really love working with kids and I am looking for temporary jobs this spring/summer!
Morgen $16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oro Valley, AZ
Hi!! I’m originally from Minnesota but moved here less than a year ago so I’m hoping to find some new families to take care of. I’ve had over 5 years of paid childcare experience, but have been helping my family and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I am confident I’d be a great fit for you and your family’s needs because I am patient and always trying to find new ways to engage with your children. My biggest hope when caring for your children is that they want to have me back. I’m also flexible with whatever help you may need: cleaning, meal prep, transportation, etc. I hope to hear from you soon!
Anthony $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi - My name is Tony, and I'm a teacher for T.U.S.D. I am offering pet and housesitting services. My hours are pretty flexible if there is enough notice given. I have owned and cared for two cats in the past 20 years, and I helped care for two dogs as a child and young adult. I have also house sat for people and I'm available overnights.
Leea $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Leea and I'm from Hawaii! I'm currently a sophmore at The University of Arizona, and I love Tucson so far! I have three younger siblings and two dogs, and that's where I got my love for children and pets :) I am very bubbly and my main priority is to make both parents and kids as comfortable and happy as possible! I have about 2 years of experience working as a tutor and assistant teacher with grades K - 8. I am also CPR certified! Please reach out to me with any questions about my experience, availability, or anything else!!
