Vanessa is such a caring and kind person. She brought a balloon to my daughter and did not hesitate to jump in and immediately try to connect with her. She was very sweet and gentle and followed our instructions for eating, changing, and sleeping routine. I would 130% recommend her and would love to have her back again.

My name is Gina. I enjoy taking care of kids and am for your children's safety. I am pretty even-keel, but I can be very silly if your kiddo is silly. I would be happy to take your children to the neighborhood park, amusement park, zoo, museums, water park, Aquarium, Chucky Cheese, etc., if you let me know ahead of time. Or I am also fine just staying at your place in your children's environment as well. You choose. I am mainly a fun, attentive babysitter. (Please note, I do not make homes messy. The review that speaks of a messy house was from someone whose house was very messy when I entered, and there was not request for a maid, only a babysitter). Also, even if you see my schedule says I'm unavailable, please just ask. I might actually be available. Sometimes I forget to update my availability.

Gina was amazing definitely will use her again!

I love animals and care about their comfort and feelings. I have sat for dogs, cats, chickens, and indoor birds. I'm very attentive to medical needs, appreciate clear instructions, and keep pets out of harm's way.

Hi there, I’m Logan! I’m 22 years old and I’ve been an aunt for 12 years now. I often babysit my nieces and nephews (usually three at once, ages 6, 9 and 12). In my free time I enjoy crafting, reading, playing video games and watching movies. I love to cook, get outside and learn as much as I can. I get along well with most kiddos (and furry friends) and we always have so much fun! I have a Shih Tzu named Neville and a Sphynx cat named Calcifer! Aside from childcare, I have worked in ski shops/winter sports every year since I was 14. I am a scientifically passionate student at UCCS, am currently enrolled in the Biology program full time and I currently hold my Associate of Science degree from PPSC. I can’t wait to meet your littles!
