Hi guys, my name is Tessa, I am 32 years old. I currently work for a company called Anodyne and I am a homemaker (I help elderly people with light cleaning around the house, grocery shop for them, pick up prescriptions, etc). I currently am taking classes at MCC to get into med school to become an anesthesiologist assistant. During the summer while taking a break, I am trying to work as much as possible to pay for my classes. Just a little background, two years ago, I quit my job to watch my niece full-time. Now that she’s old enough, she is in daycare and I am back in the workforce. It was a blessing that I got to watch my niece grow from infant to toddler and see her hit so many milestones. I would love to work with a family or families and help out with their children in any way I possibly could. I also have babysat many kids/had many babysitting gigs throughout my lifetime. I genuinely enjoy babysitting and hope to get to work with you!

I am a kind, patient, and dependable caregiver who truly enjoys working with children and being a positive part of their daily lives. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I am CPR, AED, and First Aid certified, and I am comfortable with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal prep, running errands, and taking children to parks and activities. I take pride in being attentive, trustworthy, and caring, and I always treat children with patience, respect, and genuine kindness. I am also amazing with pets, and being able to run errands and feed as well for them!

With over a decade of experience working with children, I bring both passion and professionalism to every role I take on. For more than 10 years, I served as a Director in after-school programs, creating safe, engaging, and educational environments where kids could learn, grow, and thrive. Alongside that, I ran a successful girls 4th 1 11th grade youth basketball program for the same amount of time, building not only athletic skills but also confidence, teamwork, and positive life values in hundreds of children. I’m energetic, reliable, and committed to helping kids feel supported, encouraged, and inspired every day. My approach combines structure and fun, ensuring children are not only cared for but truly enjoy their time in my care.

Hello! My name is Kenzi and I’m offering childcare and pet care services. I’m an upbeat and attentive childcare provider with 11 years of paid experience caring for infants, toddlers, and older children. I’m a creative planner with a gift for keeping kids engaged long-term with fun and educational activities. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and other activities, doing laundry, making meals and snacks, picking up after playtime, and helping with homework after school. For infants, my responsibilities have included feeding, sleep training, tummy time, and working towards reaching developmental milestones. I’ve received my certification in adult and infant CPR and First Aid. While working as a Montessori preschool teacher in Utah, I finished all child care trainings given by the Utah Department of Health and continue to attend seminars and earn certifications here in Arizona. I love animals! I have experience caring for snakes, bunnies, cats/kittens, dogs/puppies, chickens, guinea pigs, turtles, and tortoises! I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and petting all living creatures. I have experience caring for diabetic and sick cats and am confident in administering any medicine orally or intravenously. I prefer not to care for untrained big dogs, but I’m happy to help if they are actively in training!
