Booked by 4 families in Denver, CO

Hey there! πŸ‘‹ I'm Indigo. I've been caring for children of all ages & a variety of pets for over 15 years and I absolutely love it! 😻 Children are so incredible and it brings me so much joy to be around them. I also feel very connected to animals and nature. πŸŒˆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘¦πŸΏπŸ‘§πŸ½πŸ’™πŸŒΏ I am super silly, playful & fun-loving and have a creative imagination that helps me play along with kids easily. Children tend to love me & my enthusiastic, playful and friendly presence. At the same time, I'm a very organized and responsible caregiver. I understand the importance of consistency & routine in children's development, and it's important to me to stick to the guidelines & rules provided by you, the parent(s). I'm a former environmental engineer who now works for herself as a graphic designer for health, wellness & eco-friendly brands, so I have inherent skills on both sides of the coin. πŸŒΌπŸŒ›πŸͺ„πŸ’«πŸŽ¨ With me, you can trust that your little loved ones will be under safe, attentive and loving care while also having a lot of fun!

β€œWe feel very fortunate to have found Indigo for a recurring date night for our young children. Our kids love how kind and artistic she is, and we parents love how responsible and communicative she is. Look no further -- book her ASAP!”

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

As a childcare provider, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of young minds. With over three years of experience, I strive to create a safe, stimulating environment where children can thrive. As a mom of four children, one being on the autism spectrum, I am well versed in caring for multiple children as well as those with special needs. I prioritize clear and open communication with parents, providing regular updates on their child's day and promptly addressing any concerns that may arise. I firmly believe in the importance of enforcing household rules to ensure a structured and harmonious environment. My approach to childcare includes playing a variety of games with children, such as board games, puzzles, and educational games that enhance their learning experience. I'm also happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping tasks.

Hi, I'm Leah! I am originally from New Jersey, but have lived all over, and am now currently a Kindergarten teacher here in the Denver area. I hold my masters of elementary education and have loved being able to take my passion for working with children and make a career out of it. I have over 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience, working with ages ~6 months to 13 years old. Most of my experience is with 4-6 year olds, but I am comfortable with all ages! I'm an active person who loves the outdoors and can easily keep up with young kids on the move. As someone who teaches young children, I don’t mind getting messy, cleaning up, and turning everyday moments into fun, engaging learning experiences through play and exploration!

β€œLeah was a long term sitter for my boys when they were 4/5 and 6/7 years old before her move, and she was fantastic! My son is type 1 diabetic and Leah was so attentive with his medical needs. I never felt worried when they were with her. She was a fun and engaging babysitter and always followed our routine. We miss her and would love to use her again if she’s back in AZ!”
