Robyn $19 per hour for 1 child

Looking for someone who will love and care for your children like they're her own? Hi! I'm a 40+ year-old mom of two teens who absolutely loves working with children. I bring 20+ years of childcare experience and, as a mom myself, I know how important reliable, safe, and engaging care really is. WHY PARENTS CHOOSE ME Hospital volunteer for 18+ months - I spend my free time cuddling babies in Phoenix Children's Hospital CVICU because I genuinely love caring for little ones. This experience has prepared me for children with various medical needs and given me comfort with all ages. I've truly seen it all - From one-week-old newborns to teenagers, kids with autism, ADHD, severe allergies, and medical complexities. I worked as a professional nanny for 3 years and spent 7 years as a youth minister with middle and high schoolers. Plus, raising my own kids (one with sensory issues, one with Celiac disease) has given me real-world experience with developmental and dietary challenges. Safety you can trust - Former lifeguard and swim instructor with multiple CPR certifications, fingerprinting, and food handler training. Your children's safety is always my top priority. I follow your lead - Whether you have strict schedules and house rules or prefer a more relaxed approach, I adapt to your family's style. I've worked with families across the spectrum - from strict routines to gentle parenting with baby-wearing and cloth diapers. Your rules, your way. THE FUN STUFF I'm all about making childhood magical! From age-appropriate crafts and Montessori activities to educational adventures at the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden (where I'm a member). I've taken 180 teenagers to Disneyland AND spent quiet afternoons with little ones reading books at the library - I meet kids where they are. I WOULD LOVE TO SUPPORT YOU You're not just hiring a babysitter - you're getting someone who will genuinely care about your children's happiness, safety, and growth. I treat every child with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Ready to chat? I'd love to meet your family!

Samantha $21 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Samantha, or Samy for short! I'm a super caring and reliable sitter, and I honestly just love hanging out with kids. I've been babysitting for a few years now and would help my mom or family/friends with other kids while growing up, so I've gotten hands-on experience with all different ages, from little babies up to school-age kids. I know it's important to have some structure, but we always make sure we're having a blast too! My main goal is making sure the kids are comfortable and having the best time, so you, as parents can totally relax knowing they're in good hands. Families usually tell me I'm kind, really attentive, and super easy to communicate with. I truly enjoy being part of their day and making sure our time together is fun and positive!

Booked by 1 family in Palo Verde, AZ

Hello Families! My name is Chanel and I am here to help. I know it gets hard sometimes trying to find a babysitter for parents working or just trying to have some free time for themselves. Trust me I know... I have two little ones of my own! (3 year old girl and 6 year old boy). But again I am here to help. My rates are simple, I do not mind overnight stays and I am mobile. I graduated from Arizona State University in Sociology with an emphasis in Child and Family Dynamics. Please do not hesitate to contact me with inquires of how I can help you and and your child(s) situation!. Looking forward to hearing from you families in need. Thanks!

“Was great with the kids, made Lunch dinner and snacks in between meals. It’s not easy managing twin boys so I’m extremely grateful to have found someone who could handle the challenges with ease as well as keeping me informed throughout the full process while I was away. She even stayed passed the booking because I was delayed.”

Booked by 4 families in Palo Verde, AZ

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I'm 21 years old and have been babysitting/nannying for over 5yrs! I am currently in my last year of online schooling at GCU to become a kindergarten teacher, which has fueled my passion for early childhood development and creating positive learning environments. I am extremely organized and genuinely enjoy keeping spaces tidy and welcoming. As a nanny/sitter I provide a fun, engaging atmosphere that encourages creativity, curiosity, and growth. I love planning activities that support learning through play while still maintaining a consistent routine. Most importantly, I hope to build meaningful connections with both children and families and become someone you can truly trust and rely on! Let’s chat more 😇

“She was so nice and caring to my little girl and she played with her fed her she was just overall sweet to my daughter ”
