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!

Mckenna Arvada
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Mckenna , and I recently relocated to the Denver area after graduating from the University of Kentucky (Go Cats!). Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, I grew up babysitting my younger sister and the children of close family friends, and I continued nannying throughout college. With experience caring for kids of all ages, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and finding fun, engaging activities to do together. I'm flexible with hours and happy to help with transportation when needed. I look forward to connecting and learning more about your family!
