Barbi $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Barbi and I’m from Montana but I’m now living in the Phoenix area to be near and help my ailing father. I have homeschooled and raised 5 children. I love spending time with my grandchildren but they are 1500 miles away so I thought that helping out Arizona families would be good for my heart and a way to encourage and support parents as they do the most important job in the world raising their beloved kiddos! I am comfortable with all animals including farm animals and also willing to help out with household tasks or anything that would lessen the load for busy parents. My primary focus will always be the children. I love hands on learning so if it’s ok with parents I will include children in age appropriate tasks like cooking, animal care, household tasks as well as spend time reading, coloring, creative play, crafts, games, outside play, walks and anything that will expand the children’s imagination, encourage growth and fill their hearts with a love for life!

Tamra $20 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been teaching in grades 1-6 for the past 17 years. I have daily experience working with 25+ children. I am dependable and hardworking. I currently have two pitbull dogs but grew up mucking stalls for our horses, taking care of various types of birds, reptiles and fish. My mom is a senior who is on oxygen so I am familiar with the frequent doctor visits and needs of seniors. I am a full time teacher so I am currently looking to work during the summer months and extended holidays.

Hi! My name is McKenzi, and I’m a high school senior offering childcare and household services! I’ve babysat throughout high school and have experience caring for multiple children at once, including a baby, toddler, and elementary-aged child!

Adrianna $20 per hour for 1 child

I'm passionate about nurturing and caring for children, a passion that grew over my 6 years of volunteering, nannying and babysitting in childcare. The excitement on the children's faces and the trust their parents had in me solidified my desire to make a positive impact on the lives of children and their families. I am CPR certified & First Aid trained. I also have my fingerprint card! With 6 years of experience caring for children of various ages, I'm adept at creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for them to thrive. My patient and calm demeanor, coupled with my creativity and imagination, allows me to connect with children effortlessly. I believe in open communication and building strong relationships with parents, ensuring that I follow their preferred communication method and collaborate closely with them to address any concerns or issues that may arise. Whether it's engaging in outdoor activities, crafts, or exploring games that promote learning, I strive to make playtime both enjoyable and enriching for the children in my care.
