Esmeralda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a compassionate, reliable, and hardworking caregiver with experience supporting children and families. As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve always enjoyed helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. I began working with children in 2013 as a CNA at a children’s hospital, where I learned the importance of patience, safety, and compassionate care. I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and will graduate within the next year while attending school online. As an endurance athlete, I enjoy running, hiking, cycling, and encouraging active, healthy lifestyles. I also enjoy reading with children, helping with homework, and maintaining routines and structure. I’m looking to support families through childcare, homework help, light housekeeping, errands, pet sitting,and everyday household needs.

Booked by 1 family in Paradise Valley, AZ

Hi there! My name is Hannah, and I’ve been nannying on and off since high school (I’m 29 now) and my most recent nanny position wrapped up last year. I’ve also spent several years caring for infants and toddlers at my local church. My siblings have five kids ranging from 2 to 9, so I’ve always been surrounded by little ones! I’d describe myself as caring, fun, and creative. I love coming up with activities that spark imagination and curiosity. I’m also adventurous and enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that’s exploring a park, doing crafts outside, or going on little adventures. At the same time, I’m responsible, timely, and dependable - qualities I know parents value. I truly enjoy helping kids learn, laugh, and grow, and I’d be so happy to care for yours!

“Hannah was an incredible help over the past few weeks, and we could not have been happier with her support. She was reliable, thoughtful, and consistently brought a high level of attention to detail to everything she handled. She made our day-to-day much smoother. Her communication was excellent and she approached every task with professionalism and care. We truly appreciated her help and would highly recommend her!!!”

Vee $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Vee, and I'm currently attending Mesa Community College, majoring in Musical Theatre. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have experience working with children, from newborns to teenagers, both as a babysitter and a counsellor. I love playing and encouraging imagination, I’m very crafty, I have experience in tutoring and helping with homework, I can cook, and I’m a singer! I am certified in adult and pediatric first aid/CPR. I love working with animals, and have owned many over the course of my life. I have no allergies, so I can work with any animals you may have. I have direct experience with more traditional pets – such as dogs, cats, rodents – and with more exotic animals – like most reptiles and birds. I am experienced in household chores, like cooking, cleaning, laundry. I will happily help clean your house, and I have no issue with house-sitting, especially if you have plants.
