Trusted babysitter

Hi! My name is Trinity Harris. I’m teenager who’s responsible and truly love working with kids. I’m an honors student with a 3.9 GPA and currently taking college classes, which shows my dedication and reliability. I have experience babysitting my younger siblings, family members, and an infant and toddler I regularly care for.

I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and run my own successful small business. Running my business has taught me strong time management, responsibility, and how to communicate clearly—skills I bring to babysitting to ensure your children are cared for with patience and professionalism.

I’m very patient, kind, and calm, making sure kids always feel safe, happy, and engaged. I’m happy to negotiate pay based on your needs and schedule.

Because I’m currently in school and taking college classes, I’m not available to babysit all day during the week. However, I’m free after 3 PM on weekdays and available on weekends. My schedule can vary a bit depending on school commitments, but I’ll always let you know my availability in advance and work with you to find times that fit your needs.

If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter, I’d love to talk more!

    • Languages I can speak: English

I bring over a decade of hands-on experience in both childcare and animal care, with a strong foundation in community service and leadership.

Animal Welfare & Training: I served as an adoptions counselor and manager with local shelters including the Arizona Humane Society and the Arizona Animal Welfare League. In 2013, I founded AZK9, a nonprofit dedicated to helping pet owners keep their animals during times of crisis. I’ve also personally cared for countless animals over the years—raising my own three dogs, and fostering dogs, puppies, and kittens.

Childcare Experience: As a mom of two children (ages 7 and 3), I understand the patience, creativity, and responsibility it takes to nurture kids of all ages. My formal childcare background began in college at DePaul University in Chicago, where I worked with preschool-aged children through a work-study AmeriCorps program.

Community Roots: I am a fourth-generation native of Phoenix, deeply connected to this community, and passionate about supporting families and their pets.

Together, this blend of professional training, nonprofit leadership, and personal caregiving makes me well-prepared to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for both children and animals. I am currently seeking opportunities that provide supplemental income for my busy and growing family, while continuing to do the work I love—caring for kids and pets.

How to vet babysitting candidates

Once you have a shortlist of the best babysitters you can find, the next step is to vet them further to make sure they are who they say they are and the skills and qualifications they claim to have are valid. Follow our guides on checking babysitter references and running background checks.
