Martha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Martha. I’m 46, I have been working with children professionally since I was 15, and have experience as a preschool teacher, autism therapist, school aide, and more. I’m CPR and First Aid certified along with several other credentials. I come prepared with activities, toys, and games! If this is your first time leaving your child, I understand how difficult that can be. I have experience supporting families through separation anxiety. I will comfort your child, validate their feelings, and try to help them work through it. I also prioritize keeping parents at ease—I’m happy to send updates, texts, and photos throughout our time together. I currently have a day job that I love, so I’m looking for part-time or occasional work. I’m also fully certified for respite care. Let's connect!

Booked by 10 families in Paradise Valley, AZ

Hi! My name is Kyla, and I'm currently a college student majoring in Elementary Education. I'm offering childcare services and would love the opportunity to work with your family. I have a genuine passion for working with children and have several years of experience caring for kids of all ages, especially infants and toddlers. While I’m confident with newborns and older children as well, I find that I naturally connect with younger age groups thanks to my playful and patient nature. Growing up, I frequently cared for younger family members, which helped me develop strong instincts and a deep understanding of children's needs. I'm creative, energetic, and enjoy engaging kids in fun, educational activities like arts and crafts, storytelling, imaginative play, and games. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, cooking, homework help, and basic tutoring. I'm reliable, responsible, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for the children I care for.
