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!
Hello my name is Ely and I am a dental hygiene student at Phoenix College. I have worked with children in pediatric dentistry for a year which helped me grow my skills to become more responsible and patient. As my education and background specializes in healthcare, I am attentive to safety, precautions, and hygiene. I currently serve as a children's ministry teacher at my local church and I teach young kids from the age of 8-13! I work with kids regularly whether it is behavioral development, homework or clinical settings. I love working with kids and thrive to create a safe and positive environment. Personal experience with children includes babysitting for family and friends! Certifications: CPR certification, OSHA health and safety, Dental Coronal Polish, Dental Radiation health and safety. Household service: Cleaning, organizing, laundry, and personal cleaning supplies can be requested!
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! I’m Anna, an experienced and dependable caregiver who has loved working with kids since I was a teenager. Over the years, I’ve babysat for families regularly and even spent a summer as a live-in nanny in the Hamptons caring for three children. My background includes a career in creative and client-focused roles, which has made me super organized, patient, and adaptable. I love planning fun, screen-free activities, whether that’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy traveling, being in nature, trying new coffee shops, and spending time with my friends and family. I’m great with pets, and committed to making sure kids feel safe, supported, and happy.
Hi I'm Miya! I am 21 years old and I have aspirations to be a naturopathic doctor. I am enrolled in medical school, but taking a break to work until we return in person. I have five years of experience babysitting my sisters three children. They are now ages 4, 3, and 1. I had been babysitting full time for all three February 2020-September 2020, and have babysat them part time for the last four years. I also have been a part of children's ministry at my church since the age of 14 and have experience with children of all ages, especially ages 0-3.
