Kate $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Arvada, CO

Hi everyone! My name is Kate and I'm a recent Cal Poly graduate with over three years of experience caring for children ages 1–15. Most recently, I spent the past year as a nanny for two children (ages 11 and 14), helping with school pick-ups, homework, transportation to sports and activities, errands, meal prep, and creating fun, engaging experiences throughout the week. I'm dependable, energetic, reliable, and love building strong relationships with the families I work with. I'm also comfortable with light household tasks and have my own car. I have 2 dogs and a cat myself, so I love being around pets! Fun Fact: I was on my college dance team for 4 years! I've danced and been active my whole life, so I like to engage kids in that as well. I also have two younger sisters. I'm looking for part-time work any day of the week, ideally on a consistent week-to-week schedule. And I can also do night time for date nights, a night out, etc. – whatever you need! I can provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Rachel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rachel. I'm 22 years old. A little about me, I love to read and write. Any forms of art, music, film, literature, and painting. I take so much joy in. I always enjoy going out on a hike or just being outside with nature. I often spend a lot of time trying to be grounded.🌞 I am passionate about childcare. I would love to be your next babysitter/nanny! In 2024, I gained 4+ months of experience, in being the primary caregiver for my 6-month-old niece. My current part time job revolves around childcare as well. I teach basic ballet to toddlers ranging from ages 1-5 years old. I manage classes up to 10 kids. Caring for my niece is where I found my love for young developing minds. My Child Care Experience + Love: I’m very comfortable caring for babies and young children. My main experience lies in toddler age 2-5 years old. I am open to older. My experience includes diaper changing, bottle feeding, introducing baby food/feeding baby food, and maintaining consistent nap and bedtime routines. I as well have experience in interactive playtime, positive reinforcement, positive redirection, and managing normal toddler behaviors. I understand how important it is to create a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for any baby, child, and person. I enjoy spending quality time with children. Whether it's playtime, chill time, or learning together. With my niece, I regularly engaged in interactive play with toys, sensory activities, books, and age-appropriate educational TV. As well as more lowkey activities. With my toddler classes we actively engage in physical activity, learning new social/communication skills, and overall general connections to each other. I try to focus on helping children stay engaged, happy, safe, and comfortable. In addition to childcare, I can handle general household tasks related to the child, such as cleaning up messes, organizing items, and maintaining a tidy environment for everyone. I’m attentive to needs, patient, and always open to any change. I’m dedicated, and passionate, and genuinely enjoy caring for children. I absolutely love my current job and want to expand my own understanding. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, positive environment for your baby!🩷 Thank you!

Jenny 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Arvada, CO

“We have hired Jenny several times now and each time she is responsive, reliable, eager to learn about our kids (ages 8 & 9), and find ways to connect with them. She is easy going, willing to meet the needs we express or go with the flow when we don't have much specific instructions. We feel at ease when we are away and our boys are really enjoying getting to know her and they really appreciate having someone play the active stuff they like to do.”

Great with dogs! My own dog loves me (I think) because he gets lots of attention, cuddles, and quality time. Yours will too. I will make sure to spend all the time in the world making sure your dog has the best day
