Virginia Denver
$28 per hour for 1 child

I have 9 years of experience in the classroom as a gen-ed teacher and 3 years of experience as a special education teacher for students with mild to moderate disabilities. Throughout my time teacher, in college, and high school I have worked part time for many families as a nanny, tutor, swim instructor, house manager, you name it. I am now a recent graduate with a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and I am working as a therapist with parents and kids. I love being around people, getting outside, and doing fun activities that get our brains and bodies working. I cook, clean, do laundry, plan activities for my own family and enjoy doing the same things for others.

Leah 1 review
Denver
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Leah! I am originally from New Jersey, but have lived all over, and am now currently a Kindergarten teacher here in the Denver area. I hold my masters of elementary education and have loved being able to take my passion for working with children and make a career out of it. I have over 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience, working with ages ~6 months to 13 years old. Most of my experience is with 4-6 year olds, but I am comfortable with all ages! I'm an active person who loves the outdoors and can easily keep up with young kids on the move. As someone who teaches young children, I don’t mind getting messy, cleaning up, and turning everyday moments into fun, engaging learning experiences through play and exploration!

Leah was a long term sitter for my boys when they were 4/5 and 6/7 years old before her move, and she was fantastic! My son is type 1 diabetic and Leah was so attentive with his medical needs. I never felt worried when they were with her. She was a fun and engaging babysitter and always followed our routine. We miss her and would love to use her again if she’s back in AZ!

Mia Denver
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Mia. I’m a bilingual caregiver who speaks both English and Spanish. I have 1 year of professional experience working in childcare, where I’ve had the opportunity to work at three different schools and learn a variety of teaching styles and approaches. In addition, I volunteered at a Boys & Girls Club during high school, which gave me valuable experience working with children in a fun and supportive environment. I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to 5 years old, helping them learn and grow through engaging and age-appropriate activities. I’m also a great cook and love trying out new recipes! I enjoy preparing healthy and tasty snacks that kids love. Im a reliable helper when it comes to keeping things tidy and assisting with cleaning around the home. Outside of childcare, I enjoy being outdoors—especially hiking—and I’m currently studying coding. I’m excited to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your little ones!

Lindsay Denver
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Lindsay! As the second oldest of five, I grew up helping care for my younger siblings, including my brother with Williams Syndrome. This experience taught me the importance of patience, kindness, and understanding in caregiving. I began babysitting for other families at age 14 and have worked with children of all ages, from newborns to 12 years old. I graduated from college in 2018, spent two years in Boston, and moved to Denver in August 2020. I have a genuine love for spending time with kids and enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences through arts and crafts, playing games outside, and reading stories. I’m known for being creative, energetic, and playful, and I always strive to provide a nurturing and supportive environment. While I’ve always dreamed of becoming a mom someday, I’m currently focused on providing the best care for your little ones. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to know more about me!
