Taynara Denver
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO

am a dedicated childcare provider with experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Brazil, which helps me understand child development, emotions, and behaviors in a deeper and more supportive way. I also completed an Au Pair program, which gave me hands-on experience caring for children of different ages while living with a host family and supporting their daily routines. I currently live in Denver, CO, and work as a nanny for an 11-year-old, assisting with her daily routine, walks, swimming classes, music lessons, and playdates. I have an active lifestyle, and I am responsible, patient, loving, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for children. I am punctual, organized, and able to adjust routines according to the family’s needs. I also have experience with younger children, including preparing meals, light household tasks related to the child, homework help, and creating engaging and educational activities throughout the day. I’m looking for a family who values communication, trust, and kindness. I’m available to start immediately and provide excellent care with attention, warmth, and professionalism.

Niesha Denver
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Niesha! I have a passion for working with children and started babysitting over 10 years ago! My experiences, creating a safe space, crafting unique activities, and being someone dependable encouraged me to pursue a career where I could support the youth. I am a provisional mental health therapist who specializes in children/adolescent therapy. I wanted to get back into baby sitting to support my community! I have experience working with children ages infant-adolescents. I spent years supporting families at my childhood daycare, helping families through babysitting sites, and local communities spots. During college, I spent a year being a full time nanny-in this role I was responsible for meals, basic clean up, prepping for kindergarten, and helping with light house work as needed. I also have experience pet sitting when families needed extra support! I believe in an active role of babysitting where children get to explore their interests whether that’s through crafts, books, building blocks, or playing in the front yard! I hope to bring fun and support to your family:)
