$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Denver, CO

Hi! I’m Regan. I love working with children and extensive experience babysitting for various age groups. My background includes working in a school nurse’s office, where I developed strong skills in care and communicating with both children and parents. Additionally, I’ve spent five rewarding years coaching gymnastics for kids ages 2 to 15. I believe it’s essential to be fully engaged with children and prioritize meaningful interactions over screen time. I encourage exploration through play, fostering creativity and growth in a fun environment. I have reliable transportation and am comfortable around pets. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning and running errands as needed.

Leila Littleton
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leila and I would love to care for your kids, seniors and pets! I believe that everyone is worthy of respect and genuine connection, no matter how big or small they are. I babysat throughout college, and soon after graduating (from Wheaton College with a degree in communication), I started my own family. I love all stages of childhood -- from infancy to teenhood -- and have raised children in almost all these stages (my oldest will officially be a teen next month!) I am willing and able to drive children to and from school and other appointments, do crafts and tutoring, cook, clean, and run errands. I also have experience in elderly care, as I was the primary caregiver for my wheelchair-bound mother for 4 months. That included dressing her, bathing her, preparing meals for her and spending quality time with her. I think children are naturally intelligent because of their great curiosity, and that curiosity should be encouraged. I don't rely on technology for caregiving, and prefer interacting with children, or letting them free play (preferably outdoors!) I don't believe in spanking, yelling, or punishing children for age-appropriate behavior. Although these are my beliefs, I am also flexible, and can care for your children or senior in the manner you see fit.

Littleton
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Denver, CO

Hi! I'm Jenna and I am a young professional living in Littleton. I graduated from college in 2024 and have been working as an Engineer ever since. Through out high school I had ample baby sitting experience with elementary and middle school kids. I also have worked as a tutor in STEM fields for children from the 2nd grade-college. I love being outside and finding fun activities to do with kids. I can cook, clean, and help around the house as well. I am also a huge dog lover so am open to any pet sitting opportunities too!

Jenna was incredible. The boys loved her. We would definitely hire her again.
