Hi! My name is Sandra, I’m bilingual. I have 5+ years of experience working with kids! As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children.

Jenny 1 review
Wheat Ridge
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO

We have hired Jenny several times now and each time she is responsive, reliable, eager to learn about our kids (ages 8 & 9), and find ways to connect with them. She is easy going, willing to meet the needs we express or go with the flow when we don't have much specific instructions. We feel at ease when we are away and our boys are really enjoying getting to know her and they really appreciate having someone play the active stuff they like to do.
