Rachael $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Denver, CO

Hi there, my name is Rachael. I started working in childcare eight years ago and love it so much! My favorite age group are toddlers but I have experience with all ages. I’m looking for either part time or full time position, with a minimum of a one year commitment, and my rates start at $28/hour for one child. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and have taken online courses in child development. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love baking, doing crafts, pretend play, and special weekly outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time I love to cook, hike and read. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Hi parents! My name is Bella, and I’m currently seeking a part-time nanny position. I have 8 years of experience working with children in a variety of capacities, including as an assistant preschool teacher, one-on-one paraprofessional supporting special needs children, camp counselor, babysitter, and full-time nanny. This fall, I’m beginning graduate school at Regis University to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, with the ultimate goal of helping children and their families as my full-time career. I’m a dedicated and compassionate nanny who absolutely loves working with children, and I take pride in helping them grow into the best versions of themselves.

Katherine $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, there! My name is Katherine and, as the oldest of five girls, I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. My first experience with babysitting was for my mom—I would watch my little sisters while she ran errands. As I got older, I started babysitting for some of the families in my neighborhood and continued until I went away to college. In college, I nannied for a couple of different families. One of these families had seven children, ranging in age from 3 to 18. While I mostly spent time with the two little ones, I also chauffeured four of the older children around to their sports practices and various extracurricular activities. In addition to nannying, I also taught an after-school cooking and nutrition program to elementary school age children as part of an internship in college. After college, I moved to Spain to teach English and also tutored for several families on the side. Now, some of my friends and family members are starting to have children of their own and I am always happy to watch them if they have things to do or they just need a break. In addition to babysitting, I also have some pet sitting experience. While attending law school, I somehow found time to pet sit for my neighbors. I eventually decided to make a Rover profile and I have continued to book pet sitting jobs through the app. Additionally, I also adopted a cat. A little about me—I just moved to Denver from Washington, D.C. last July and I am absolutely loving everything about living here. During the week, I work as an attorney in downtown Denver, but I try to spend every weekend in the mountains. I got engaged this past July and I am planning a Summer 2026 wedding here in Colorado. I am hoping to supplement my income and pay for most of my wedding expenses on my own. I look forward to helping you with all of your caregiving needs!
