Tsoi $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi this is Michelle. I am originally from Hong Kong but have been living in the states for 7 years now. I graduated from BYU in 2025 and am currently working as a family advocate for Head Start. In my role, I'm regularly in classrooms assisting teachers, engaging with children, helping manage routines and transitions, and supporting kids with a variety of needs. Working closely with young children is a big part of my everyday life, and I genuinely enjoy it. I'm a dependable and caring caregiver with experience working with both children and pets. I have experience supporting children through volunteer and internship roles, including working with preschool-aged children in an autism preschool, and with youth and families at the Children Justice Center. I'm patient, energetic, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and valued. I can help with playtime, homework, routines, meals, transportation, and household tasks. I also have pet-sitting experience through TrustedHousesitters, where I've earned 4 five-star reviews caring for cats in their homes. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Families often describe me as responsible, communicative, organized, and easy to trust. Whether I'm caring for children or pets, my goal is to help everyone feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Booked by 2 families in Sandy, UT

Hi! I’m Iisha.
 I’ve lived in Utah for most of my life, and I’m now raising my family here with my husband and our two school-aged children. I have a deep love for kids and truly enjoy spending quality time with them. I’m passionate about creating fun, engaging, and nurturing experiences for children. Some of my favorite activities include reading, arts and crafts, cooking, outdoor play, and outings to places like the library, zoo, or aquarium. I'm also very comfortable with daily routines like diaper changes, naps, feedings, and light household tasks. I’m happy to help with pets (both cats and dogs) and light errands as needed. Safety is a top priority for me—I am CPR certified and always focused on creating a safe, caring environment. I would love to support a family looking for a nurturing, reliable nanny to care for and connect with their little one(s) during the week!

“Highly recommend! Always shows up early but most importantly the kids love her. Great with keeping the kids engaged. Takes them on walks, makes meals, & cleans up! We never have to worry about the kids when Iisha is taking care of them!”

Hi! My name is Kari, and I'm 23 years old with 7 years of experience caring for children ranging from 6 weeks to 11 years old. I've worked as a babysitter as well as in a childcare center, and I'm currently a nanny for three boys-ages 1, 5, and 7. The 1 yr old I nanny is going to start daycare in February so I'm looking for another family to nanny for while my other two nanny kiddos are in school. Ideally looking for a family needing care M-Th 9:30am-3 p.m. and Fridays 9:30am-1:15 p.m. I can help with meal prep, nap time, light house keeping, and taking the kids to activities such as library story time or the park!

Booked by 1 family in Sandy, 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!”
