Beani 1 review
Phoenix
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Phoenix, AZ

I am a 31 year old Cardiology Fellow. I know you might be surprised, a doctor, huh ? As fellows we essentially make minimum wage and I have a lot of student loans so ! I worked as a nanny in medical school as well and loved it. I am excellent with both children and animals despite not choosing paediatrics or veterinary medicine as my profession; I am highly proficient in any emergent situation.

Beani is the best babysitter we ever had! If you are lucky enough to hire Beani, consider yourself blessed. Not only is she an accomplished medical doctor from South Africa who speaks 3 languages (which means she is highly educated and interesting to talk to, as well very professional), she is also warm, fun, and engaging, and was very attuned to my daughter, who absolutely adored spending time with her.

$22 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience caring for children from 2½ months to 17 years old through professional nannying, babysitting, tutoring, and working in both home and school environments. I earned my degree in Elementary Education with minors in Special Education and English as a Second Language (ESL), which has given me a strong understanding of child development and how to support children with a wide range of learning styles and abilities. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children with and without disabilities, providing individualized care, academic support, and creating fun, structured environments where they can thrive. My experience includes classroom support, tutoring, homework help, planning engaging activities, preparing meals, maintaining routines, transporting children, and supervising outings and field trips. In addition to childcare, I have experience teaching swim lessons and coaching water polo, helping children build confidence, develop new skills, and stay active. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy taking kids on adventures like hikes, trips to the park, nature walks, and other activities that encourage curiosity, learning, and exploration. Families describe me as dependable, patient, energetic, and compassionate. I believe in creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel supported, valued, and encouraged to grow. My goal is to become a trusted part of your family’s team while providing exceptional care and giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are happy, safe, and well cared for.

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.
