Find local babysitters in Mesa, AZ

I am currently an occasional care for several families. I am hoping to find a family needing part time care or evening care. I have CPR and first aid training, DCS clearance, fingerprint card, and Full Background check. I am a very active, young at heart, loving and patient care giver with over 30 years experience as a daycare provider and as a nanny for children newborn to age 13. Since we moved to Arizona 30 years ago, I have been caring for children on occasion, as a fulltime nanny/housekeeper, and have worked fulltime in the medical, Veterinarian, and education fields.  I absolutely love caring for children and I take that responsibility very seriously. I love interacting with the children, games, baking, crafts, and outside fun when the weather permits. I don't believe that sitting a child in front of a tv is considederd childcare. My husband and I have raised large dogs, and I also love caring for  animals. I am looking for families that would like their care giver to be part of their family, as I always treat the children as my family. I also have current and excellent references.

I’m the former founder, director and owner of one of Chicago’s most prestigious day schools, where I served thousands of children and mentored hundreds of teachers over three decades. In 2020, my husband and I sold our school to Bright Horizons (coincidentally, the parent company of SitterCity.) After the acquisition, I joined the Bright Horizons corporate side for 18 months, I retired early and moved to Fountain Hills. In my “retirement,” I spent one year “back in the game” directing the Early Childhood Department at the Valley of the Sun Jewish Community Center (185 kids + 68 teachers.) When available, I enjoy providing occasional babysitting or “back up care” for whenever your child cannot attend school (including sick care) or when your nanny is sick or otherwise calls in. I can often accommodate your Nanny’s vacations, as well. Additionally, I can provide Nanny Management; assisting with issues, conflict resolution, training, mentoring, lesson planning, baby-proofing, nursery set-up, age appropriate modifications, observation and more. In most cases, I require a 4 hour minimum shift, I also provide overnight or multi-day 24hr care while you travel. (I can even travel with you, if my schedule allows.) I specialize in care for out of town visitors at resorts in the greater Phoenix area; while parents attend conferences, enjoy a round of golf or date night while visiting here in the valley! I’ll come prepared with an arsenal of activities; books, music, crafts, games, etc. My rates start at $35/hour, daily & overnight rates for 24hr overnight care are negotiable and curated individually. I am fully vaccinated (Pfizer) and receive all boosters and flu/rsv shots. *Also, CPR/AED + First Aid certification valid through 12/2025 + I hold an AZ Level 1 (highest level) fingerprint card. Here are a few articles and also a commercial from some years ago that tell a bit about me and my story (obviously from before we sold the school.) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=axd3gXb3Y1c http://voyagechicago.com/interview/meet-jennifer-heim-detour-2-discovery-day-school-south-loop/ https://greatersouthloop.org/news/south-loop-business-spotlight-detour-2-discovery-day-school/ ** I’m allergic to dogs/cats but have no problem taking non-drowsy allergy meds for my shifts at households with furry friends. *I’m on the board of a bully rescue, so know that I’m certainly an animal lover and I love dogs of all breeds!

Hello, my name is Alexia. Over the past 5 years I've been babysitting for a family that have fostered and adopted children and they've become like a second family to me. I have experience with newborns/infants, toddlers, twins, elementary, pre-teen and teenagers. I also have experience taking care of multiple children at a time. I've worked nights (bedtime routine) and overnights (morning routine) which consists of waking kids up, getting them ready, breakfast, pack lunches and drop off at bus stop when mom and dad are out of town. I serve/volunteer on Sunday mornings in the nursery at my local church since 2011. I have previous experience as a medical assistant but I'm currently taking a break from that role. I enjoy babysitting children of all ages. I love seeing them grow and teaching them new things! Children are amazing and incredibly adorable! **** My availability will be changing to morning hours when the new school year starts: approx 8/7/23. ****
