I am currently in graduate school and plan on pursuing my doctorate. Im a 4.0 student and love to read and learn. I am good at teaching as well, so I will be able to help with homework. I’m very fun, caring and understanding. I’m very adventurous and love playing games and doing activities. I love working out, doing yoga and I believe in a healthy body and mind. I love working with children, they light up the room. I also have my own car, it’s a 2022 Audi so it is safe. I am currently working full time at a microchip manufacturing company.
Hi there! I'm Siya - a 19-year-old with a big heart and an even bigger love for kids! I've been babysitting for over 5 years and have experience with little ones of all ages, including children with special needs. I'm CPR certified, have a current background check, reliable transportation, and a clean driving record. I'm also a huge pet lover and always bring lots of energy, patience, and positivity. Whether it's playtime, snack time, or bedtime, I'll make sure your kids feel safe, happy, and cared for! Let me know if you'd like to schedule an interview or have any follow up questions.
Hi there! My name is Amanda! I am a recent Master's of Education graduate looking for some occasional work. I have been babysitting since I was 11. I am the oldest of 8 children, and helped my parents out with summer care when I was younger. Most recently, I was a Kindergarten teacher for the last 4 years, and worked in a daycare before that. During the school year, my schedule is more limited. I am able to help with homework, light household duties, and take care of pets. I have my own reliable vehicle and can run errands if needed. I am First Aid and CPR certified I am looking for some occasional work, especially for the last part of summer, but also over the school year as well!
I’ve spent the past 3+ years working with children of all ages, from preschoolers to middle schoolers. I started as an intern at an elementary school and now work in a school setting supporting both learning and play. I’m patient, dependable, and creative, with a strong passion for helping kids feel safe, confident, and cared for. I also enjoy helping with light household tasks and caring for pets, making me a well-rounded and reliable caregiver for any family.
Hello, I'm Steve! I live in the Moon Valley area of Phoenix, and I love dogs. My wife and I have said that we'd love to be able to make a living just being able to have fun with dogs everyday, though for normal life that generally isn't practical! :) Well, these days I have a chance to offer some doggy love for the furry hour legs when their people need someone to take care of them for a time. I've had dogs from a young age, from experiencing litters of puppies, to training just one, to helping them through later part of life, and to the point of having to say goodbye to more than one of my friends before. I've always related to dogs and most dogs like and trust me very readily. I'll be happy to make sure your pups, both young and old, are happy and well cared for and happy while you're not there to do it yourself.
