Meet Courtney

  • Comfortable with pets

Hello! My name is Courtney, and I am currently looking for regular or occasional evening (weeknight or weekend night) babysitting jobs. I currently work Monday through Friday full time in children's mental and behavioral health, but am available most evenings to babysit for your children! Aside from my employment, I have a lot of experience caring for children including an extensive babysitting history, teaching preschool at a daycare, volunteering at summer camps, teaching Sunday school, and interning as a school social worker. I moved to Arizona in August 2011 from Michigan.   My babysitting experience includes families I have sat for both occasionally and regularly, including full time summer care. I have experience with children of all ages, and experience watching large groups of children at once. I can provide several references for families that are interested. I have been told by a good number of families that I am Read more their children's favorite babysitter, and I truly believe that is because I like to interact and play with the children, not just turn on the TV for them. I can also help your children with school projects and homework if you'd like.   I also have experience with children who have special needs, mostly gained in working with special needs children in a year long internship. I would be willing to work with special needs children of any age. I am very patient, and a fast learner (as I know all kids have their own unique quirks!). I have had regular experience babysitting for a four year old boy who had autism, and also had children who had special needs in my classroom when I taught preschool.   I have my own safe and very reliable transportation, and am comfortable transporting your children if need be.   Please contact me with any questions you may have, I would love the opportunity to work for your family!

Courtney is amazing! She was excellent with our 1 year old daughter and she has repeatedly demonstrated just how reliable, punctual, friendly and experienced she really is. The peace of mind her experience, expertise and calm demeanor provide is priceless. We look forward to continuing to use her for regular date nights. Highly recommended.

Courtney was great! We were able to go on a last minute date, I mean really last minute. My kids really liked the fact that she loved to play and watch movies with them. I definately will be getting her to watch my kids again!

Courtney has sat for us several times and has done an excellent job with our six year old daughter. She has been available on short notice and has always been prompt and willing to stay late if needed. She is a wonderful caregiver and my daughter loves her company. I would highly recommend Courtney.

Courtney was excellent with our 5, 2 and 1 year old during a date night. She is experienced with young children and while she is pleasant and fun, she had no trouble enforcing our rules and not allowing our children to walk all over her. My kids had lots of fun reading and playing with her. I highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again.
