Booked by 38 families in Denver, CO

In my 20s, I started my childcare journey working as a temporary/fill-in nanny through nanny agencies, and I worked for several years as the full-time nanny/mother's helper for a family with 6 children. I have raised and home schooled my own children and have cared for several step-children including one with special needs. I have worked with elementary, middle school, and high school students (including as a camp director, counselor, and staff member). I have a clean driving record, and if I were to transport your children, I would be as careful and attentive to them as I would be with my own. I have taken Red Cross Adult/Infant First Aid/CPR/AED training. I am looking for jobs working with families who have fun together, value responsibility and kindness, and communicate well. I want your kid(s) to feel well cared for, and I think while you are out doing what you need to do, your child(ren) ought to have a really great experience too! I have most recently nannied for a toddler who is now going into full-time pre-k. I have a special place in my heart, and arms, for the very young babies, too. I have experience in home organization and management, 24-hour/overnight childcare (house-sitting and pet-sitting included), childcare in a hotel/BnB setting, as well as caregiving for conventions and the like along with a group of other childcare workers. I have helped my families with food prep, laundry, errands, senior companion care, and caregiving (as well as tutoring) for all ages of children. I’d love to meet you and your child(ren)!! 🥳

Booked by 96 families in Denver, CO

Hello, I am Cyn. I am 35 years young, originally from South Florida. I relocated to Denver in January 2017 and I absolutely love it here. *Fluent in Spanish* Friends would say I am an adventurous, passionate, hilarious soul. I love music, food, animals, nature, and kids! I began working with children and families in 2009. In Florida, I worked as a youth program director at the YMCA, an assistant teacher, and a long term (8yrs) nanny for 2 families. Since moving to Denver, I have had the pleasure of working with over 100 families. I enjoy the outdoors and creative outlets the most. I paint, play, do crafts, read, and love to implement those activities into daily life. I consider myself a role model for kids, and have been told by peers and employers alike that I have a dynamic personality. I have my own reliable 4x4 transportation, with a squeaky clean driving record.

“She was on time, very communicative, and incredibly chill and easy to talk to. I felt very comfortable having her here and will definitely hire her again!”

Hi families! Update October 2026* I am working full time during the weekdays and am available for occasional & date night sitting only in the evening or weekends* My name is Emma, I've been babysitting and nannying for a little over 8 years now.

I am looking for occasional positions, one time, or part time. I have a clean driving record, my own vehicle, & I’m CPR/first aid certified.
