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.
I have raised 5 kids and 8 grandkids I love all kids of all ages and love to see them grow. I also enjoy cooking and household tasks making sure everything stays in order. I am English and Spanish speaking.
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.
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!
Hi I’m Skye! I am 18 years old and am ready for a job! It’s hard to find a job as a college student because I have not had a job in the past due to a busy schedule in high school and most jobs require past working experience. I would say I’m friendly and respectful and like to get the job done! I’m currently a student at Arizona State who is majoring in English but maybe child development in the future! I am looking to occasionally babysit only because I go back home to my home state for winter and summer break so keep that in mind! I think I want a job where I can pick up kids from school and watch them for a few hours or when parents want to go on a date night!
