A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Gracie, I'm 24 years old and live in Phoenix Arizona. For over 10 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for children of all ages—from tiny newborns to independent teens. My experience spans many settings, including daycares, a dance studio, private nannying, and regular babysitting, each one giving me new ways to connect, learn, and grow alongside the children I care for. I believe every child deserves to feel loved, seen, and valued for exactly who they are. I love building long-lasting relationships with the families I work with, and I make it a priority to be someone children can trust and feel comfortable with. Whether it’s planning fun crafts, dancing in the living room, helping with homework, or simply listening to their stories, I pour my heart into every moment.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Olivia. I’m 17 years old, turning 18 in August, and currently a high school student who's graduating in May. I’m responsible, patient, and love working with kids of all ages! I have 2-3 years of experience babysitting 0-3 year olds (courtesy of my baby cousin, haha!) and kids love me just as much as I love them. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for them. I’m great at keeping children engaged through activities like games, reading, crafts, and helping with homework—while also making sure routines like meals and bedtime go smoothly.
I stay active and disciplined in my daily life, so families can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and organized. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning and keeping things tidy.
I’m available evenings and weekends, and I’m open to both regular and last-minute babysitting.
Feel free to message me if you’re looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter! 💕

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Kyla, and I’m a reliable, nurturing caregiver with a genuine passion for working with children. As the oldest of 15 grandchildren, caring for kids has always been second nature to me, and I’ve supported many families through babysitting for relatives and close friends. I’ve also been involved in my church’s children’s program since age 16, creating a safe and engaging environment for kids to learn and grow.
In addition, I completed a semester at Arizona State University’s Child Development Center, working with children ages 3–5. Most recently, I’ve worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) supporting children with autism ages 2–7, strengthening my patience and ability to provide individualized care. I’m committed to creating a positive, safe, and fun environment where children feel supported and families feel confident.

Nanny Emily
"All 3 of my boys absolutely loved having Emily in our home to watch them. She made them feel more like a friend than just someone who is watching them while Mom was out. She was extremely helpful with anything that needed done while I was gone. There was always laughter when she was here. I was truly blessed to have met Emily and gotten to know her over the year she worked with us."
