Sara Denver
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have always loved children, and I have always taken care of the children in my family and 10 years ago I started professionally. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED and Advanced Child Care trained. I do playful activities with the kids, so they can develop new skills, stimulate cognition and motor coordination. I help with all the routine that parents need, and I adapt to the routine and methods chosen and applied by the family, because it helps the need to have an organized routine to reduce stress and anxiety, then they will have the habit of performing activities according to a routine they already know. All this time taking care of children, I learned that I love dealing with them even more than I imagined, they are always so grateful for everything we've done, they show us so much gratitude in the form of affection and love that makes it all so special. Every child is very different and I give them space so they can feel comfortable being themselves, being respected, loved and feeling safe.

Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO

Hi, my name is Kira, but I go by Karielle. I graduated high school and currently doing a leap year. I am offering my services as a babysitter, dog/cat sitter. As a babysitter, I focus on what you want from me as the parents. I clean and cook, I play and have many activities I can do with the kid(s). I can provide assistance with homework and much more. I’ve watched children for as long as I can remember. I watch babies from 6-8 months. I watch toddlers and children, ages ranging up to 16. I was paid to watch kids amongst my family outside of my family. I have the experience. I do not drive, but no worries, I can call Ubers or Lyfts.

Hi, my name is Joelle! I am a social worker with 3 years experience with young people aged 1-24 years! I am a former supervised visitation specialist and parent coach who's worked with children in foster care and their biological parents. I currently work as a case manager for young people who are experiencing homelessness. I have been a babysitter since I was 16 and all throughout college.

I can cook and clean, care for children of all ages, and even help out with errands. I am also experienced in house and pet sitting and have a kitty of my own at home! I am CPR certified, QMAP certified, a certified notary public (in case you happen to need something notarized!) Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a time to talk further.

Amie Denver
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Amie! I graduated from Cal State Channel Islands in May 2025 with a degree in Sociology, and I offer child care, senior care, and pet care. For child care, most of my experience comes from taking care of my nieces and nephews (ages 3–11). I love keeping kids busy with fun crafts, simple cooking or baking, and activities that let them be creative. I’m also happy to help out with homework when needed. For senior care, I’ve volunteered in a hospital setting where I spent time keeping seniors company and helping during meals. While I don’t provide medical care, I really enjoy being a kind, patient companion and helping out where I can. For pet care, I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two of my own, a Maltipoo and a German Shepherd. I can help with walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds, but I do have mild allergies, so it’s helpful to know if pets aren’t hypoallergenic. Overall, I’m caring, reliable, and love supporting families in any way I can!
