Raquel $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Raquel 😊 I’m studying Psychology with a focus on child development, and I’ve been caring for kids for over 14 years — from newborns to school-age children, including twins! Families describe me as patient, loving, and reliable. I truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel safe while having fun. Whether it’s reading stories, doing crafts, or exploring outdoors, I always aim to create an encouraging and positive environment. I’m bilingual (English/Spanish), CPR-certified, and currently work part-time with a baby — I’m now looking to fill the rest of my week with another great family. I would love to bring my experience, warmth, and creativity into your home!

Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO

Hello! My name is Dartanion, but you can call me Doc. I’m 22 years old and offer professional child care, pet care, and house sitting services. I have 2–3 years of experience in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and come from a large family as the oldest of seven siblings — which has given me years of hands-on experience in caring for children of all ages and managing busy households. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and attentive to detail. Whether I’m engaging children in creative learning activities, ensuring pets are well cared for and comfortable, or keeping a home organized and secure, I approach every task with professionalism and care. Families can count on me to create a safe, positive, and nurturing environment while maintaining clear communication and reliability. I truly enjoy helping families feel confident and at ease while they’re away

“Mr. Doc is amazing with kids. Relatable, on-time, and took great care of my two toddlers. We can’t wait to have him back in the future! ”
