Mariana P., Child Care in Mesa, AZ 85205 with 3 years of paid experience

Hello, parents! My name is Mariana and I’m from Kyiv, Ukraine. I’ve been living in Arizona for 3 years. I’ve learned a lot about kids since my younger sister was born. I took a big part in raising her. I have Master of Law degree. I’m into photography, healthy lifestyle and everything about nature and animals. I’m looking for a stable and regular job with guaranteed hours. I’m very responsible, organized, reliable and honest. I always follow every kid's step, cause safety first! My empathy helps me to feel how to communicate with kids of all ages. I would be happy to take care of your little ones. Thanks! P.S I did my last background check 3 month ago and I’m open to renew it if required

I am 22.I’m bilingual I speak Spanish and English fluently I’m full of energy. I am also in the Army Reserves but free during the week looking for something to do. I love kids I babysit my nephew and nieces all the time since they were born so I have experience with potty training I can also speak Spanish and teach it if you’d like you’re kids to have a second language or just for fun would go on walks and out to the parks I can help with schoolwork and household chores. I am looking to go back to school in the spring to get my degree in pediatrics. I hope to be the right fit and help with whatever you need. I have recently moved to Sierra Vista but my profile says Mesa but I am no longer living there I just don’t know how to change it:)

Karen  M., Child Care in Mesa, AZ 85205 with 7 years of paid experience

I have always loved working with children and have recently decided to change career paths to ultimately working in a clinical setting with autistic children. I have a bachelors degree in business administration and am currently working on furthering my education in behavioral sciences. I have my Article 9 and current CPR and First Aid Certifications. I am punctual, kind, patient and trustworthy. I feel drawn towards helping others who aren't able to help themselves and to help them in ways, when viable, where they eventually can. I feel as though it's extremely important to have patience and appreciation for those whom are different from ourselves and invest the extra effort and time to communicate with them in a way that is effective and productive.

Joan H., Child Care in Mesa, AZ 85205 with 10 years of paid experience

•Hold a current Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card from the State of Arizona Department of Public Safety. •Hold current American Safety & Health Institute CPR, AED, and Basic First Aid Certification for Adult/Child/Infant. •I have a B.S. in Elementary Education. For thirty-six years I have enjoyed being a parent, and now have two grand-daughters, one who is five years old and the other three years old. I am a motivated, creative, diligent, patient, and gentle individual with many years of experience caring for children of all ages, as well as facilitating their love of learning. I hold a bachelor’s degree in education, home educated three children involving all grade levels and subjects from kindergarten through high school, and continued support and guidance through their pursuit of advanced degrees in law, global health, and geography/sustainability. In addition, I facilitated many groups and classes for young children, and developed a youth chess academy where I taught and coached for sixteen years. I thoroughly enjoy working with children of all ages, supporting their curiosity and enthusiasm to explore and learn from the world around them. My philosophy in raising and educating my three sons included the commitment to develop and instill a sense of responsibility and interdependence within each child for both their community and world beyond. 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. I have most recently been employed full-time for the past three years, providing care for two children, now ages eight and three. Responsibilities include preparing multiple meals and snacks per day, cleanup of kitchen and play areas, laundry, and all care related to the needs of each child. I engage the children with activities involving reading, science, geography, music, physical exercise, crafts, and creative play.

Isabella F., Child Care in Mesa, AZ 85205 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Isabella, I'm 23 years old and I graduated from San Diego State University last May (2024). I have recently moved to Scottsdale in October for a job in sales, and although I was able to help care for many families in SD I am excited to start babysitting in the Arizona area! I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I have experience watching children from 8 months to 12 years old. I absolutely love kids! A little bit more about me, I love being outdoors and staying active. Whether it be shooting hoops or playing catch, I love spending time outside. I also enjoy watching movies, making crafts, and baking anything with chocolate. During my time with your child I am 100% attentive and my energy and time is focused on their care, well-being, and happiness. I am reliable, compassionate, responsible, and fun! I am looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, as I am not able to commit to something consistent with my new work schedule! I look forward to an opportunity to babysit for your children.

Hello, my name is Alexia. Over the past 5 years I've been babysitting for a family that have fostered and adopted children and they've become like a second family to me. I have experience with newborns/infants, toddlers, twins, elementary, pre-teen and teenagers. I also have experience taking care of multiple children at a time. I've worked nights (bedtime routine) and overnights (morning routine) which consists of waking kids up, getting them ready, breakfast, pack lunches and drop off at bus stop when mom and dad are out of town. I serve/volunteer on Sunday mornings in the nursery at my local church since 2011. I have previous experience as a medical assistant but I'm currently taking a break from that role. I enjoy babysitting children of all ages. I love seeing them grow and teaching them new things! Children are amazing and incredibly adorable! **** My availability will be changing to morning hours when the new school year starts: approx 8/7/23. ****

Jennifer H., Child Care in Mesa, AZ 85205 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!
