Hi! My name is Chandyce, and I’m a reliable, patient, and nurturing caregiver with hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of routines, safety, and creating a calm, fun, and supportive environment. I’m attentive, communicative, and great at following family preferences. I can help with playtime, meals, light housekeeping, and pets, and I always treat every home with care and respect.
Hi! I’m Rachel! I am in my last semester studying Elementary Education at Arizona State University. I am currently student teaching in Kindergarten at a school in Paradise Valley and therefore trying to earn some money in evenings/weekends. I have been working with kiddos for many many years now! I have been a summer camp counselor, after school staff, dance class teacher for little ones, and many years of babysitting/nannying. I have worked alongside the ASU preschool psychology classroom as well for 90+ hours. I am CPR certified and have my Arizona State IVP Fingerprint Clearance card as well. I am more than happy to help with chores around the house, as well as help your kiddos with homework!
My passion is teaching and caring for children. That passion grew after my little brother was diagnosed with autism and I strove to learn everything I could about the developmental disorder. The experience led me to earn a bachelor's degree in elementary education from ASU. Throughout college I continued to develop my teaching and childcare skills in a K-2nd grade after school program, a 1st grade internship, and as a 7th/8th grade science student teacher. I went on to become a middle school science teacher for a couple of years which I loved, but I missed early childhood education. I became a lead teacher at Tutor Time in the infant room and worked with children as young as 6 weeks old. I love teaching and taking care of kids and I am now enjoying life as a private childcare provider.
“Great ”
I am the oldest of 2 sisters, that I had watch over when my parents were out. I have experience with watching my nieces and nephew when their parents needed time away. I can cook for the childern following their personal diet restrictions. Follow medication schedule they may have. I help encourage the kids to keep things tidy while also cleaning after them. Watch behavior ques and try to help solve not desirable behavior. Time out time if needed and nap times. Sleep at a schedule time.
I am currently finishing my last semester at ASU majoring in Elementary Education! I have been babysitting since I was 13 on my own and even younger with my mother accompanying me. I have had internships at Boys and Girls Club, as well as have been employed at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix.
