Hi my name is Zaveah! I am a stay at home mother with a babygirl(14 months) looking to work with other families offering both childcare and household services. I am a caring, responsible, and patient childcare provider who genuinely enjoys helping children learn and grow. With experience supporting students in a school setting and managing a structured home environment, I understand the importance of safety, routine, and positive guidance. I strive to create a nurturing space where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves.

Booked by 2 families in Denver, CO

Hi! I'm Raniah, a dedicated caregiver in Lakewood with over 6 years of experience. Whether it's caring for a newborn, keeping up with a toddler, or helping school-age kids with their evening routine, I bring the patience and reliability that only a mom of four can offer. What I Bring to Your Family: • Experience: Years of daycare experience and hands-on parenting. • Safety First: I have years of hands-on experience as a mother and daycare provider. I am currently looking for the right CPR/First Aid certification course to join and plan to be certified very soon. Non-smoker and non-drinker. I don't just "watch" kids-l love to stay active with them through outdoor play, reading, and creative projects. I have a reliable vehicle and am available for school pick-ups, activity drop-offs, and errands. I am looking for part-time or occasional roles where I can truly support a family's needs. My rate is $25/hr, reflecting my extensive experience and ability to provide high-quality care. I’d love to connect and see if I’m the right fit for your home!

“Raniah was wonderful, super comfortable and warm with the kids, prompt, tidied up, and more. We will definitely work with Raniah again!”

I absolutely love kids at all ages, and I’m a sucker for new borns! When I was young, I used to babysit all of the neighborhood kids and get nanny jobs with close friends, neighbors, and family. I am a black belt in karate and used to teach the toddler class after school. My instructor chose me because the kiddos loved me! As a single mom with my oldest (who is now 19), and him having life threatening asthma from birth, I was very hands on and hyper attentive to his needs. Being the sole person responsible for his care, medication, routines, and lifestyle activities within his capacity, I was very patient, loving, and supportive with him physically, mentally, and emotionally. It wasn’t easy but I loved being there for him and I still do! I have an almost 4 year old toddler now and I’m very hands on with him as well. As a certified Life Coach who specializes in emotional care and regulation, I work with mom’s and families to heal relational trauma and help them to create healthy dynamics between the parent and children, as well as helping mom’s especially build deep connections with their kids and find healthy ways to manage meltdowns and tantrums through connection vs correction and harsh punishments. It is a deep passion of mine to work with families and offer support through nanny services as well as creating a peaceful home environment for everyone in the household. Anything I can do to make life easier for you, I’m open for it!
