Maggie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maggie 😊 I’m 27 and recently moved to the Denver area from Wisconsin. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, and caring for kids has always been something I genuinely enjoy—not just a job, but something I take a lot of pride in. I’m CPR-certified and very safety-focused, but I also love creating a fun, relaxed, and engaging environment for kids. Whether that’s helping with homework, coming up with creative activities, or just being someone they feel comfortable around, I try to bring a calm, positive energy into every home. One of my most valuable experiences was running my mom’s daycare while she recovered from knee surgery. I handled everything from daily routines to keeping multiple kids happy, busy, and on schedule. It really strengthened my confidence, organization, and ability to take initiative without needing much direction. I also have tutoring experience, a reliable car, and a valid driver’s license—so I’m happy to help with school pickups, activities, or errands. I don’t mind pitching in with light housekeeping either if it helps make your day a little easier. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as dependable, communicative, and someone who just “gets it” without needing to be asked. I’m always happy to provide references and would love to connect to see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

Allison $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a pediatric dental assistant with a strong passion for working with children and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. Before working in dentistry, I worked at a special needs office for children, where I gained valuable experience supporting kids with different needs and personalities. I also have a lot of personal experience caring for children. I have an eight-year-old brother who I’ve helped care for throughout his life, and my husband’s parents recently welcomed a baby boy who is now four months old. I spend a lot of time with him and truly enjoy being around children of all ages. I am patient, caring, dependable, and love creating a safe and positive environment for kids to learn, grow, and feel supported.
