Avery 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Arvada, CO

I have been babysitting since I was ten years old! I grew up as the second oldest child with two younger siblings who I loved helping take care of. My mom has been doing in-home daycare since I was six, so I was always around kids and helping out where I could! I have nieces and a nephew, and find so much joy watching them learn and grow. I have formerly been CPR and first aide certified for adults, infants, and children - the certifications have expired, however I am happy to renew them upon request. My favorite part about being around kids is that I get to bring my inner kid out. I love being silly, playing games, singing songs, and reading stories.

β€œPrompt, communicative and our kiddo enjoyed having Avery here. We would have him watch our kiddo again! ”

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Arvada, CO

Hey there! πŸ‘‹ I'm Indigo. I've been caring for children of all ages & a variety of pets for over 15 years and I absolutely love it! 😻 Children are so incredible and it brings me so much joy to be around them. I also feel very connected to animals and nature. πŸŒˆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘¦πŸΏπŸ‘§πŸ½πŸ’™πŸŒΏ I am super silly, playful & fun-loving and have a creative imagination that helps me play along with kids easily. Children tend to love me & my enthusiastic, playful and friendly presence. At the same time, I'm a very organized and responsible caregiver. I understand the importance of consistency & routine in children's development, and it's important to me to stick to the guidelines & rules provided by you, the parent(s). I'm a former environmental engineer who now works for herself as a graphic designer for health, wellness & eco-friendly brands, so I have inherent skills on both sides of the coin. πŸŒΌπŸŒ›πŸͺ„πŸ’«πŸŽ¨ With me, you can trust that your little loved ones will be under safe, attentive and loving care while also having a lot of fun!

β€œWe feel very fortunate to have found Indigo for a recurring date night for our young children. Our kids love how kind and artistic she is, and we parents love how responsible and communicative she is. Look no further -- book her ASAP!”

Megan $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Megan! I graduated from CU Denver in 2021 and I love playing with kids! I have always loved spending time with kids of all ages and happily began babysitting at a young age. I also spent many hours volunteering with children at my church. Since those early years, I have been the occasional babysitter, the long-term nanny, and worked in childcare at a business. I'm looking to find a new nanny position as the children I have been caring for most recently are aging out of needing my help. I am very child-led when it comes to play and exploration, giving little ones a chance to control a bit of their world and dictate the things that interest them the most. But I also do my best to set a structure and routine to the day, with expectations for what will be occurring at different times, to give the children a sense of stability. One of my favorite things to do with kids is play pretend. I love helping them learn about their world and help them explore and use their imaginations. I can help with some small chores like fixing meals for kids, dishes, and some laundry but I prefer to mainly do childcare. I'm very comfortable with pets but I am mildly allergic to fur.

Veronica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Veronica, and I am currently in the process of getting my certification for substitute teaching. I am offering child care, senior car, animal care, and household services. I love kids, and have four nieces and nephews that I have adored watching and helping grow up. I have extensive experience watch infants, toddlers, and children. I have worked with seniors in the past, but not at the same regularity as children. I am happy to provide rides, entertainment, cooking, and baking. What is not listed among the groups are adults and children with intellectual disabilities. I worked as social worker with folks who have disabilities for eight years. Most of that time was with adults, but I have also worked with children. My pricing for folks with disabilities is negotiable, but will usually be higher depending on the needs of the individual. I am experienced in and happy to provide household services. Including cleaning, running errands, and cooking. I confess that I am no master chef, but I can cook decent simple food. My baking skills are exceptional. I am an animal lover, and am happy to look after any animals that aren't scorpions, spiders, you get the idea. I do not mind working with snakes.
