Find experienced babysitters in Mesa, AZ

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!

My name is Esme and I am here because I am passionate about children! I am a very responsible, reliable, fun-loving babysitter. I have ten years of experience, and I also have experience as a nurses aid. At the moment, I am a stay at home mom. I have two boys, Henry who is four years old and will be going to school soon and Wyatt who is my infant, he is two months old. In the past before having my infant, I used to take my son Henry with me to nanny. It worked out great! My son got along great with the kids. They would love having Henry over to play and do activities. The kids would always look forward to Henry coming back and bringing new toys and activities to do. I'm happy to give out my references from the families in the past that I have worked with. I'm also happy to run another background check days prior to start date. This year is changing for us, this year I would like to nanny one child from my home as it would be more comfortable with an infant. I would supply toys, books, bassinet, high chairs, food etc. I also have a pool that is gated and a playground in the backyard. You're are welcome to come take a look as I assure you it's a safe clean space! If you're in the Tempe area and are looking for a nanny, send me a message I would love to chat! I provide supplies to do arts and crafts. I play imaginative and creative games with the kids, such as storytelling. I can also help with homework. I can meal prep and do snack time. I can do naptime, bathtime, diaper changes, bottle feed and help ensure that prescribed medications are being taken (if any). What makes me a great babysitter is my friendly personality, patience and fast problem- solving skills. I am dedicated to you and your family and value your time. Safety, reliability and communication are my priority between me and parent(s) in order to attend best to your child's needs.

I am able to run all aspects of a household, am a great cook, and adore animals! I am seeking that special family - one looking for a nanny/educator/home assistant where I can utilize my strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills along with my love of working with children. I want to apply my lifetime of experiences to help families and individuals in the smooth running of their households, calendars and daily lives. Over the past three years, I provided care for two children, now ages nine and four.
