Jennifer H., Babysitter in Scottsdale, AZ 85260 with 36 years of paid experience

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!

Jaicee H., Babysitter in Scottsdale, AZ 85260 with 9 years of paid experience

Dedicated elementary education and special education graduate possessing nine years of childcare experience. Recognized for team-oriented leadership, reliability, enthusiasm, and strong communication skills. Possess an innate ability to resolve conflict and retain positive relationships. A passionate employee who takes pride in providing an excellent and immersive experience for all kids. Having a history of working with children with special needs allows for quick thinking and problem-solving abilities. I love to focus on the child's strengths and make a fun and kind environment for everybody! I will always have the child's safety as a priority! On a more personal level I was born and raised in San Jose, California where I had the privilege of growing up in the booming tech industry. I was lucky to be raised in a beautiful state such as California. When I was 18 I moved to New York City. I lived in New York City for about a year and half! New York is one of my favorite cities and love everything about it! When it was time to think about finishing college, I moved back west to Arizona where I attended GCU. I had a great time in Arizona and think it has some of the most beautiful landscapes. In August of 2023, I moved to France as an Au Pair. This time has shaped my perspective on life, culture, manage immensely. I am excited to see how this experience will continue to shape my life moving forward as I return to the states.
