Mackenzie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Kenzie and I am a law student in my final year of school. Growing up in Utah and as the eldest in a big family, I grew up around kids and grew up babysitting often. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 12 years old. I am 12 and 14 years apart from my youngest siblings and helped raise them since they were newborns. In college at the University of Utah, I tutored kids from Korea in English, where I enjoyed making assignments, homework, and developing unique ways of teaching to fit their learning style. In my free time outside of school, I enjoy reading, knitting, cooking, and hanging out with friends.

Cheyanne $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Cheyanne! I’m a fun, creative, and loving person who truly enjoys putting a smile on someone’s face. I’ve always had a passion for making people feel supported, seen, and encouraged, no matter what they may be going through. While I was in college, I had the opportunity to serve as a “Big” through Big Brothers Big Sisters. That experience meant a lot to me. It allowed me to build a meaningful bond with my “Little,” offer guidance, and grow as a mentor. It strengthened my love for helping young people and reminded me of the importance of being a positive role model. I’m also a proud aunt to several nieces and nephews, and I’ve been trusted to watch over them throughout the years. Being there for them whether we’re playing, learning, or just spending quality time together has helped shape my understanding of care, patience, and responsibility. My family knows they can depend on me, and that means the world. I’m the kind of person who brings warmth and positivity into everything I do, and I always aim to brighten the day of anyone I meet.

Tracy $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Tracy. I am a widowed empty nester looking to fill my free time. I raised two wonderful children, one of them was special needs who has since passed. I was a stay at home mom for many years until my husband passed. I used to watch children in my home for many years and miss having them around. I have been taking care of children since I was 10 years old whether it was for neighbors, my parents friends kids or my sister. I have lots of patience and love to teach kids new things like crocheting, arts and crafting. I'm good at helping with homework too! My daughter was multiple handicapped and needed help in all areas of daily living. If you have a special needs child I understand the need for you to get some ME time! Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats but dogs and other animals are fine with me. I stay home most weekends so if you're looking for a weekend getaway I would be happy to help. I am available during the week during the evenings after 4:00 and all day/night on most weekends.

Lisa $18 per hour for 1 child

I have over 25 years of experience working with children in various settings from training adults who serve children birth to 3, to being a nanny caring for four children. Currently, and for past five years, I have been working with middle school children with special needs specifically, Autism. I have extensive experience with children birth-3 and significant experience with ADHD and behaviors. I'm a few courses shy of my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and have significant amounts of training in various areas in education. I took a break from school to support my stepson who struggled in school. I value all children and their abilities. I enjoy working with children and believe all children should be encouraged to be kind, good, human beings and I believe we, as adults working with children are integral in making that happen.

Erica $15 per hour for 1 child

I've worked with small children since age 14, as a nursery assistant. I was VP of the PTO board of an elementary school for 3.5 years, and also school mom during my time there. I most recently spent 3 years as a personal caretaker of an elderly blind man. I've always been great with those young in age and those up in age. I have an old soul but I'm a child at heart.
