Find experienced babysitters in Oro Valley, AZ

Hi there, I am a seasoned Early Childhood Teacher and nanny looking to work for a family that will value and utilize my skills, experience, attention to details and genuine love of being with children. I have worked with young children (infant to 12 years of age) in a variety of settings for many years: preschool teacher, nanny, camp-counselor, dramatic-arts coach, and classroom volunteer. I am TRUSTLINE verified (which is a deeper background check than what is run on this platform). I have a clean driving record and excellent references. Because of my experience and maturity, I bring both wisdom and calm while still embodying youth and vitality. I have been told that I float seamlessly among all age groups and have been referred to as a “Yoga-Mary Poppins”. I have a BA with emphasis in psychology, an AA in Early Childhood Education, CPR/First-Aid certifications and a vast understanding of children with different learning styles. I believe children learn best and thrive when all their needs (social/emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative) are being addressed and met. I am dedicated to the well-being of children and have a natural ability creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, seen, respected and excited. I know how to set boundaries (while still having fun), anticipate meltdowns and redirect with ease. My intention when working with babies and children is to focus on engaging them in active educational play that supports their developmental milestones. I enjoy “play with a purpose” whether it’s park days, interactive games, nature outings, library story-times, arts/crafts or science activities; your baby/child will be learning when they are with me. My number one goal when caring for children is that they feel safe and happy. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your family.

Hello there! My name is Allana Dunbar and I am 26 years old currently pursuing my AAS in Nursing.

I am very responsible, respectful and am willing to answer any questions you may have. I love children and working with them, it brings me so much joy and I appreciate you taking the time to view my profile, thank you!

Hi! I'm Victoria — a 22-year-old college student in Tucson (Oro Valley) with a passion for working with children. I'm a certified nursing assistant and caregiver, CPR-certified for all ages, and trained in emergency response. I have a fingerprint clearance card, food safety certification, and a reliable car with a valid driver’s license. I’ve worked with kids ages 8 months to 14 years, including experience as an after-school teacher. I’m fluent in Spanish, love art and animals, and took two years of cooking classes — so I’m happy to help with meals, cleaning, errands, and creating fun, engaging activities. My goal is to become a pediatrician, and I'm gaining hands-on experience while finishing school. I’m available 20–60 hrs/week, live out, but open to overnights if needed. My rate is $20/hr

Hello Parents My name is Vanessa, I am 33. I have lived in Tucson for 13 years. I have over 16 years of experience. I am a mother to a 4 and 2 year old. My kids have their own schedule and routine that allows me some time in my schedule, during the day. I do have my own transportation as well as my own pet free home. I am open to watching your children in my home or yours. I am available for occasional work at this time. I like to be outside playing tag, riding bikes or even having water fights, indoors doing arts and craft and playing games. For my younger ones I let them enjoy tummy time, reading books, stacking blocks and stimulating activities. I will care for your child as I would for my own. Please feel free to ask me any question or concerns you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and I hope you are all staying safe during this time. Thank you, for your time.

Hi there! My name is Liz Martin and I worked full-time as a nanny in the Tucson area from 2018 to early 2025. I have worked for several different families with kids ranging from newborn to 10 years old. In January 2025 I started nursing school and stopped nannying full time, but have kept a few babysitting clients for when my schedule allowed. I am approaching my last semester and have a little more availability than I did earlier this year. Nights, weekends, and the occasional weekday could fit into my schedule now. I especially like working date nights! Additionally, I am trained as a postpartum doula and have focused much of my nursing school studies on the NICU, so I love babies and I am trained in newborn care.

Hello! My name is Linnea, I'm a 23 year old past nursing student, and I've been working in child care for 8 years now! I come from a multicultural family, speak 3 languages (English, French, Swedish), and love meeting new people. I lived overseas for a few years growing up which made me apprecite many different cultures. My friends would describe my personality as upbeat and energetic. Over the years of being a full-time nanny, working at day cares, or just doing part-time nannying, I have grown so much in both experience and passion for child care. I have worked with all ages, and have had different ages at the same time too. I've faced many different situations and challenges within child care which have propelled me to grow in problem solving and thinking fast on my feet! I see communication with the child as essential. Clear communication, consistency, kindness, understanding, encouragement, emotional regulation, and play are all key things I like to implement and showcase for the child when I am working with them. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! I would love to get to know your family and work with your kiddos if we're a good match! :) Best, Linnea

I have many years experience in caring for the elderly and children. My experience in caring for my own two children was a joy. They are grown now. When needed I also babysit for my five year old grandson. I am honest, trustworthy, and dependable. I care very much for the elderly and children. I find taking care of children very rewarding. I like to feel like I am making a difference in their lives for the better. Thank you for your consideration, Karen Darris
