Booked by 2 families in Denver, CO

Hi, My name is Madelyne! I’m a reliable, creative, and attentive caregiver with a strong background in both childcare and education. I currently work in education and prevention for a nonprofit, where I support individuals and communities through learning, safety, and well-being initiatives. I’m also in school studying consciousness and psychology, which deepens my understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and supportive communication. I have hands-on babysitting experience with children as young as 1 year old and am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time, depending on their ages and needs. I bring a calm, grounded presence and genuinely enjoy engaging kids through music, art, and outdoor activities. With several years of experience in restaurant operations, I’m highly knowledgeable about food safety and allergy management, so you can feel confident your child’s dietary needs will be handled with care. I am CPR certified and prioritize safety in all situations. I’m also happy to support your household beyond childcare. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds and enjoy spending time with animals just as much as I do with kids. Additionally, I’m open to assisting elder family members with companionship and light support. I’m glad to help with errands, light cleaning, and general household tasks to make your day-to-day life easier. In my free time, I love gardening, hiking, spending time at the park, and caring for my tortoise—so I’m always happy to encourage outdoor play and curiosity about nature. I’m also comfortable helping with meal prep, routines, and bedtime. I strive to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where children feel supported and parents feel at ease.

Madelyne is the best! She is sooo good with our kids and is a total ray of sunshine. She takes care of our 16 month twins boys who are high octane energy. You’ll love Madelyne just like we do :)

Booked by 4 families in Denver, CO

Hey there! 👋 I'm Indigo. I've been caring for children of all ages & a variety of pets for over 15 years and I absolutely love it! 😻 Children are so incredible and it brings me so much joy to be around them. I also feel very connected to animals and nature. 🌈👶👦🏿👧🏽💙🌿 I am super silly, playful & fun-loving and have a creative imagination that helps me play along with kids easily. Children tend to love me & my enthusiastic, playful and friendly presence. At the same time, I'm a very organized and responsible caregiver. I understand the importance of consistency & routine in children's development, and it's important to me to stick to the guidelines & rules provided by you, the parent(s). I'm a former environmental engineer who now works for herself as a graphic designer for health, wellness & eco-friendly brands, so I have inherent skills on both sides of the coin. 🌼🌛🪄💫🎨 With me, you can trust that your little loved ones will be under safe, attentive and loving care while also having a lot of fun!

We feel very fortunate to have found Indigo for a recurring date night for our young children. Our kids love how kind and artistic she is, and we parents love how responsible and communicative she is. Look no further -- book her ASAP!
