Booked by 7 families in Magna, UT

Prior elementary and current French dual immersion middle school teacher. Warm, trusted, loving and FUN! I’m a mother of 4 adults and grandma to 2 boys and a new granddaughter. Currently in a way-too-quiet Empty Nest. Due to varied skills and interests, I am offering reliable, caring, and skilled services for:    •   Childcare – engaging and safe care from a passionate teacher who can help prevent learning loss in summer months (I LOVE creating readers!)    •   Pet care – reliable pet sitting (bred 3 litters of English Labradors)    •   Home and garden care – house sitting, weekend errands    •   Outdoor adventures – Experienced boat driver and advanced snow skier (taught skiing to beginners and intermediates) Whether you need a last minute date night, weekend or summer sitter, or someone to keep your pets and home safe, I offer maturity, professionalism, and excellent references.

“Keri was fantastic! We booked her for two nights watching 6 kiddos, ranging from 4-12, while we were in town for a family wedding. Keri came in and seamlessly integrated herself with the kids and took over all situations (some nervous kids, some sleepy kids, some playful kids). With Keri being both a mom and a teacher we felt very at ease with her taking over such a big job. If we are ever in SLC again we would not hesitate to use her again. Thanks Keri!”

Booked by 1 family in Magna, UT

Hi my name is Hercy! I have experience taking care of kids between 6 months old to 10 years old. I took care of 3 beautiful girls for almost 3 years. Also I used to take care of a baby boy for 6 months, he was 5 months old then. I can take them to different activities. Also I love dogs so if you have one I will feel comfortable and happy as well around them. I speak Spanish so I can teach them some words if you want me to do it!

“Our boys loved hanging out with Hercy! They talked about all the fun things they did, from playing with toys to building things to going sledding. Hercy was also flexible when we were running late. Would definitely recommend Hercy!”

Bri $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Briana (usually go by Bri) and I’m from Anchorage, Alaska. Growing up, I spent a lot of time helping take care of my younger cousins, which sparked my love for working with children. In high school, I gained hands-on experience working with kids and students with disabilities, which taught me patience, creativity, and how to adapt to different needs. I also participated in the Biomedical Career Academy and have been involved in healthcare through my pre-nursing studies, including 48 hours of clinical experience at an assisted living home. I hold a current CNA license and am CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority. Outside of school and work, I played soccer from age 3 to 18, developing teamwork and leadership skills. I’ve also house-sat for several local families. I’m excited to provide reliable, caring, and engaging childcare for your family!

Ella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi- I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have several years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and teens. I truly love working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. I’m patient, reliable, and understanding of all kinds of family dynamics. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning, cooking, errands, and pet care if needed. I bring a positive, calm energy into every home and love building genuine connections with the families I work with.

Kasey $20 per hour for 1 child

I spent this past summer being a live in nanny for a NYC family with children of 3 month old boy, 6 year old boy, and 9 year old girl. Responsibilities included: overnight 24/7 care for the 3 month old baby, cooking meals for the family, keep the baby on a schedule with feedings and naps, laundry, driving the kids to sports camps, taking the kids on the bus to school in the city, playing games with the kid to keep them active and off technology, help as a family assistant for the parents. Before that I had a consistent family I nannied for at least 3 days a week during college. I started with the family when the little boy was 2 and the little girl was 3 months old. I was with them until she was 4 and he was 6. I kept them engaged in activities and learning as well as feedings and naps while the mom worked from home. It was so sad to say goodbye to them, they were like family to me. I also babysat for other families for date nights or weekend days. Ages ranges from 3 months to 10 years old. Before that I babysat at least once to three times a week during high school. I looked after children anywhere from one month old to 13 year olds. Responsibilities included: overnight stays, pick ups from school, drives to sport practices, chaperone playdates, cook meals, help with homework, take after dogs, drive family's car to activities, drop off and pickup from airport, and any household activities.
