Hi my name is Lexi and I am 25 years old. I just moved back to Scottsdale after being on the east coast for a year! I graduated from Arizona State University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN, RN) in May 2023. That being said I am CPR/BLS certified and am a RN (Registered Nurse) with a year and a half experience working at a Level 1 Trauma Center in the Emergency Room and now working in a surgical setting at a Level 1 Trauma Center. I work 4 days a week M-F and am occasionally on-call for weekends and nights, so I have occasional availability! I grew up with two younger siblings and have been watching over them from a young age. I have had several babysitting jobs throughout the years and still continue to do it for my love of the job. I have experience watching ages ranging from 4 months-11 years old. I am a reliable, friendly, caring, and look forward to meeting your kids! :) Please feel free to message me with any questions!

Hi! My name is Wendy , I would like you to know a little about me and what I can do for your little ones and your family, I’m 26 years old and a reliable, caring, and patient nanny with a genuine love for working with children. I have experience caring for kids of different ages through working with multiple families, and I’m very comfortable adapting to each child’s unique routine and needs. I’m well-versed in daily childcare routines—mealtime, bath time, nap schedules, and fun educational or creative activities. I always strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where kids feel happy, supported, and heard. I’m also an animal lover, so I’m more than happy to work in homes with pets. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I have my own transportation, which allows me to be flexible and punctual. Whether you’re looking for a part-time, full-time, or occasional sitter, I’m open and ready to support your family with kindness, responsibility, and lots of positive energy. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Wendy has been such an incredible care-taker. She’s super attentive, patient, and very tuned into our toddler’s needs - he absolutely adores her. Wendy is also very clean, timely, communicative, and on top of everything. My kiddo has had such a lovely time, I feel very reassured leaving him in her care. Highly, highly recommend her!!!
