Hi! I’m Alexa — I’ve been babysitting for 7 years and have worked as a full-time nanny for 5. I love creating a fun and safe environment for kids to play, learn, and grow. I’m responsible, patient, and always happy to help with routines, homework, and anything your family needs. Can’t wait to meet you!
Hi! My name is Floriana, I’m 37 and originally from Italy. I have several years of experience working with children from ages 2 to 15 as a babysitter in both Italy and Ireland. I truly enjoy supporting families and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for kids and teenagers. In addition to childcare, I also offer household support such as tidying, laundry, dishes, light organization, running errands, and general home upkeep. I’m very organized, proactive, and comfortable helping families keep their homes running smoothly. I’m also an animal lover and happy to help with pet care — feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re busy or away. I consider myself reliable, punctual, and easy to work with. I value trust, clear communication, and building positive relationships with the families I support. I enjoy creating calm, organized spaces and helping wherever I can to make daily life a little easier.
“She was wonderful, came early and immediately started playing with both kids. She even took them to the pool and made me Mother's Day cards. I wish we lived closer so we could make her one of our regulars! I highly recommend her!!!”
Hi my name is Amaya, I am 20 years old and a college student majoring in psychology. I am patient and good with kids as an older sister myself. I also have experience in babysitting for family and friends as well as professional experience as an infant and toddler teacher at a preschool and as a private nanny.
“Amaya is very responsible. She is kind, loving, fun and a woman of her word (honest and has a high level of integrity). She has 2 younger sisters and while growing up has had plenty practice with being in charge. For many years, she’s also been responsible for watching her younger cousins, ranging in age from 3 months to 9 years old, often 4 at a time. Amaya does well with keeping documentation (of activities, meals, bedtimes, etc.) and is respectful of requests. Amaya is a great communicator and very trustworthy. If you choose to give Amaya an opportunity, you will not be disappointed!”
Hi! My name is Charli, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with hands-on experience both nannying and working in daycares. I’m originally from North Dakota and recently relocated to Arizona, and childcare has been a big part of my life. I’ve worked in daycare settings where I cared for multiple children at once, followed daily routines, helped with meals, playtime, learning activities, and ensured a safe, positive environment. I’ve also nannied for families in my hometown, giving me one-on-one experience with children of different ages and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and energetic, and I truly enjoy creating a fun but structured environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m great at keeping children engaged through activities, helping with routines, and being someone parents can rely on and trust. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with pet care and am comfortable around dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, and general supervision. I take my responsibilities seriously, communicate well with parents, and always aim to be someone families feel confident leaving their children with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, loving care.
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!!!”
