I was born and raised in Jacksonville Florida and recently made the big move to Denver! I've worked at daycares, learning centers, elementary schools and at family homes as a nanny through college, so I am well versed in taking care of children in different platforms/ for different needs. I'm trained in pediatric first aid and CPR certified. I also have taken and completed courses in child development and nutrition. I'm so excited to meet your kiddos!

I began babysitting for other families in middle school and naturally started watching pets and helping with housekeeping. I am currently an Auntie caregiver to my neighbors, friends, and family members, and I clean a friends AirBnB. I run my own massage business if you need a massage! Being an older sister I have taken care of my 3 younger siblings since I was 2 years old and helped mom with "chores." Kids are my greatest teachers. I love being active and engaging. I play piano and sand volleyball, studied 8 years of Biology, Chemistry, Nutrition Sciences and minored in Spanish. I am comfortable with all ages from infant to pre-teen, any special needs or dietary restrictions, and all pet and or housekeeping needs <3

Carissa $25 per hour for 1 child

I have Master's degree in young child education with a Montessori focus, I am certified to work with children 0 to 6 years old and I am most comfortable to work with children newborn to 6 years old, but I have experience with children up to 10 years old. I am an AMI trained Montessori guide and have greatly enjoyed my time with children in the classroom. I went back to school during the pandemic and became a speech therapist. I now specialize in early intervention services. I have worked with children ages 12 mo to 6 years old in a school setting over the last ten years but am now focusing on home care because of COVID risks in schools. I believe in interacting with children as unique individuals, showing them full respect and helping them develop personal independence, social skills, and a true sense of self confidence.

Ariana $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Ari! I'm a patient, thoughtful, and dependable caregiver who is passionate about creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive. I am currently pursuing my Master's in Social Work with my bachelor's in Psychology. I also work part-time at a memory care facility, where I've spent the past year supporting vulnerable elderly with compassion, patience, and attention to their individual needs. I have more than five years of childcare experience caring for children from 2 months old through the preteen years, and I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I believe in meeting each child where they are developmentally while encouraging kindness, curiosity, confidence, and emotional growth through positive interactions and engaging activities. Safety is always my top priority, and I deeply value respecting each family's routines, parenting preferences, and expectations. I believe that honest, open communication builds trust and helps create the best experience for both parents and children. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that gives parents peace of mind while creating a fun, supportive environment where children feel valued and encouraged.
