Zoe $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Zoe. I’m an engineer student from Argentina. I’ve worked with kids for years and enjoy making them feel safe, entertained, and understood. I also adore animals and have experience taking care of dogs and cats, from playful puppies to older pets that need gentle care. I’m very organized and actually enjoy cleaning, keeping things neat makes me happy! Whether it’s tidying up, doing deep cleaning, or general home care, I put a lot of love into what I do. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with, I’d be happy to help!

Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO
Hi, I'm Sarah! With more than 35 years of childcare experience, caring for children has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I'm the proud mom of 5, grandma of 7, a former licensed in-home childcare provider, and have worked as a lead teacher, recreation center childcare provider, and long-term nanny. My goal is simple—to provide nurturing, fun, and safe care where children feel loved and included.
“We had such a great experience with Sarah! She was available last minute and so flexible and accommodating with our changing plans. It was clear she has tons of experience with kids, and our little one absolutely loved spending time with her. We would happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
