Meet the Team! | Special Occasion Sitters

Meet the Team

We are dedicated to providing the best possible experience for you for your vacation, family reunion, corporate function or wedding! When possible, you will receive the same sitter for your children so we can maintain continuity of care. All sitters are CPR and First Aid trained, and have gone through the SOS training program.

Angela

As a single mom to 5 children, I am all too familiar with the challenges of finding reliable child care. When you are traveling, you should have the same assurances that you have at home! I started this company out of my love for working with children through events such as church programs, weddings, family reunions and community events! I have always had a passion for designing fun activities/themes for such occasions, and I also just really enjoy watching children play- they grow and learn so much with each interaction. I graduated from Yavapai College with my degree in Early Childhood Education.

Rebecca

Hi! I am a sophomore in college. I have been working with kids since I was in 6th grade. I love spending time with them! I have worked with kids from teaching tae kwon do, to babysitting, to helping in children's church. Kids have a special place in my heart and I enjoy taking care of them and helping them grow.

Tovah

I have over 10 years of experience working in childcare- from Assistant Teacher, nannying for families, and working 3 summers at a camp in Yosemite. I taught Arts & Crafts there! It's important for me to be present and supportive for the children yet giving them skills and space to take care of themselves and each other. I love sharing my love for art and nature with the children. I get to see them thrive the most in natural and creative environments!

Ginny

I'm a mother and grandmother, and I understand how stressful it can be to leave your children with someone you don't know! That's why I do this work. I enjoy spending time with kids, and I feel really good about giving parents some time without the kids--worry free! When in my care, your kids' safety is my first priority. I have experience with infants, toddlers, up to school-aged children. And I enjoy them at all stages of life!

Gioia

I got my Pre-K - 3rd grade teaching certification in 2013 in New Jersey before moving to Arizona, and I have over ten years of experience teaching and working with children. I am a local musician and vocalist who enjoys sharing music and rhythm with kids regularly, as well as entertaining them artistically through face painting all over the Verde Valley. I began teaching ukulele to children via Zoom during Covid and continue teaching kids, teens and adults! I look forward to the opportunity of providing great care and bringing joy to the little ones of families visiting our community.

Tate

I received a Bachelor's in Psychology in 2015. Early childhood development was fascinating to me, and I began working with children then. I have worked as assistant preschool teacher, behavior therapist, camp counselor and nanny. I love being my goofy, creative self, and allowing kids to do the same. I love spending time outdoors and love to share my enthusiasm for growing minds. Working with children is so rewarding as I learn from them too!
