Find experienced child care providers in Paradise Valley, AZ

Hello! My name is Alondra Hernandez, and I’m looking for a position that I’m truly passionate about. I absolutely love working with children, it’s something that brings me so much joy. I have a First Responder license and a lot of hands-on experience caring for kids of different ages. I lived with my cousin for about two years and helped care for her three children including her youngest, my godson, whom I cared for from newborn to one year old, the other two were 5 and and 9. That time was one of the best experiences of my life. I treated and loved all three of them like my own, helping with daily routines such as cooking, homework, playtime, baths, and bedtime. Currently, I work with a wonderful family caring for their sweet one-year-old, and I’ve been with them for over a year. It’s been an incredible experience, and I’d love to continue doing what I enjoy most. I’m fluent in Spanish (I grew up in Mexico), and I’m available every day after 2 p.m.

Hi, I’m Alyssa! I have been babysitting and nannying for 5 years. I am a sophomore in college at GCU. I love working with kids, especially babies and toddlers but I love working with all ages! In my free time I enjoy working out, baking, babysitting, swimming, playing basketball, and hanging out with my friends and family. I am studying pre-occupational therapy and want to focus on early intervention. This past summer I nannied for a family with a 7 month old and 3 year old, I worked with them 40-50 hours/week and travelled with them on work trips and vacations. I also nannied for another families 3-4 days/week in the evenings for 5-7 hours. In the summer I took the kids I watched out to do fun things like go to the park, to museums, the zoo. aquarium, on lunch dates/other fun things! The boy I watched loves arts and crafts so I had fun making fun superhero crafts like capes/masks/superhero playdough! I have watched all different ages of kids from 6 week old babies- 10 year olds. I definitely love the younger ages and have a lot of patience which I know is definitely needed with younger kids!

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!

My name is Esme and I am here because I am passionate about children! I am a very responsible, reliable, fun-loving babysitter. I have ten years of experience, and I also have experience as a nurses aid. At the moment, I am a stay at home mom. I have two boys, Henry who is four years old and will be going to school soon and Wyatt who is my infant, he is two months old. In the past before having my infant, I used to take my son Henry with me to nanny. It worked out great! My son got along great with the kids. They would love having Henry over to play and do activities. The kids would always look forward to Henry coming back and bringing new toys and activities to do. I'm happy to give out my references from the families in the past that I have worked with. I'm also happy to run another background check days prior to start date. This year is changing for us, this year I would like to nanny one child from my home as it would be more comfortable with an infant. I would supply toys, books, bassinet, high chairs, food etc. I also have a pool that is gated and a playground in the backyard. You're are welcome to come take a look as I assure you it's a safe clean space! If you're in the Tempe area and are looking for a nanny, send me a message I would love to chat! I provide supplies to do arts and crafts. I play imaginative and creative games with the kids, such as storytelling. I can also help with homework. I can meal prep and do snack time. I can do naptime, bathtime, diaper changes, bottle feed and help ensure that prescribed medications are being taken (if any). What makes me a great babysitter is my friendly personality, patience and fast problem- solving skills. I am dedicated to you and your family and value your time. Safety, reliability and communication are my priority between me and parent(s) in order to attend best to your child's needs.

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

My journey as a babysitter at the age of 10, assisting families for whom my mother provided cleaning services. In 2017, a client of my mother requested that I care for her children throughout the summer, as well as on Saturdays and Sundays. Upon entering high school, I continued to look after her children, who were aged three and one at the time, during the 2018-2019 period. The following year, in 2019-2020, I also took care of her newborn, as her third child was born. I provided babysitting services for this family until September 2021, when her husband relocated for work in Spain. Currently, I babysit for another family on weekends and during vacations, caring for their children aged six and nine every other weekend, while also looking after their 10-month-old child weekly. I have been with this family for four years. Additionally, I hold certifications in CPR and First Aid, along with an IVP fingerprint clearance card.
