Englewood
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO

Hi there, my name is Lindsay! With a compassionate heart and a wealth of experience, I am dedicated to providing attentive, nurturing, and engaging care for children of all ages. My background in babysitting, volunteering with the Englewood school district, and working with a nonprofit that supports kids with different learning styles has given me a deep understanding of how to foster confidence and social skills in young minds. As a medical professional and current nursing student, I am well-versed in safety and well-being, holding a Basic Life Support (BLS) certification from the American Heart Association. Whether it’s ensuring a child's health and safety or creating a fun, enriching environment, I bring both knowledge and warmth to my caregiving approach. Beyond my professional skills, I have a natural ability to connect with children through music, creativity, and play, keeping them active and engaged in ways that make learning fun. As a step-parent and experienced caregiver, I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and a nurturing presence in a child’s life. Additionally, my love for animals means I’m comfortable in pet-friendly homes, ensuring that both little ones and furry family members receive the care and attention they deserve. With my experience, empathy, and dedication, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and joyful environment for every child in my care.

Littleton
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO

Hi there! I was a stay at home mom for 15 years, and loved raising my 3 kids. They are grown now, and I’ve realized how much I miss being around children. I was also licensed with the state and ran an in home daycare for many years. I’m comfortable and experienced with all ages. I have dogs and absolutely adore them, and all other animals as well. I’m a Colorado native and love all of the nature this state has to offer. In the summer, you’ll find me paddle boarding or camping and hiking in the mountains. In colder weather, I love to cozy up by the fire with a good book. I’d love the opportunity to watch your little’s or pets. Please feel free to reach out!

I’m happy to be the first to write a review for Holly. My son took to her right away, showing off all of his cars and trucks. They played, read tons of books and ventured outside to our neighborhood playgrounds. She made sure to cleanup the toys after they were finished which was much appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Holly for future sitting needs!
