Find experienced babysitters in Scottsdale, 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!

I believe that building relationships with children and their families is the most fulfilling aspect of being a babysitter. I truly value the moments I get in assisting families. I love that I can become an essential part of their child's development and in supporting that child's progress. I have 3 years of babysitting experience. Additionally, I have a year of experience as an assistant teacher for a kindergarten ELL (English Language Learning) class. A little bit about me: I enjoy dancing, swimming, learning new languages and doing arts and crafts. I absolutely love animals! I have two cats and a husky, whom I adore. I am currently a freshman at the University of Vermont (online); I am majoring in early childhood education. I am able to speak a decent amount of Spanish, as well as, read and write it.

Hello! My name is Ayisha, and I’m a registered nurse with experience in both pediatrics and the ICU. I’ve been babysitting for the past four years, primarily with one wonderful family, and occasionally for several others as needed. Coming from a large family with many younger cousins, I’ve been around children my whole life and have developed a natural ability to connect with them. I’ve also worked as a Day Camp Counselor for children ages 3–13 and tutored at Kumon Math & Reading, giving me experience in both fun and educational settings. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and keeping them engaged through activities like board games, reading, outdoor play, and more. I always respect and follow any specific rules, routines, or guidelines provided—building trust with both children and parents is something I value deeply. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your family! Warm regards, Ayisha
