Mackenzie Denver
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have plenty experience with infants, toddlers, young children and pets. I have months of experience working with an infant who required oral meds for reflux and thrush. This caused her to rarely sleep (reflux woke her up) and was up every 30 min most nights. I am no stranger to holding babies while they nap (if needed and preferred by parents). I love engaging in play, learning games, etc. I believe in gentle but firm corrections. I do NOT believe in yelling or intimidation tactics and will not book with you if that is expected. Children need a safe space to grow and develop properly. As for pets I have years of expierence. I have a German shepherd myself who is trained. I have worked at doggie daycares/boarding facilities. I understand a fair amount of dog body language, how to break up fights (depending on size of both dogs), how to give meds, and can do some light training if needed. I also have expierence with cats, rabbits, ferrets, and rats. I can care for certain farm animals if they are friendly. My knowledge on reptiles/amphibians is very limited outside of frogs and turtles. I have my own house cleaning business and can work that in for a different rate depending on what is needed. Message me for questions!

Booked by 2 families in Denver, CO

I am a certified elementary school teacher, and a certified preschool lead teacher/director. I've taught in public school, private school, and homeschool (co-ops and my own children)! I've lived in Denver my whole life and know the city very well. I am a mother of 6 and live in Central Denver. I am creative, fun, reliable, responsible, and not easily fazed! I love children and understand the dynamics of a busy household and unexpected needs that might come up.

Sara was AMAZING with our kiddos! My three year old daughter really struggles to go to bed and she got her down without too many tears. She was so kind to my six year old son who’s pretty sensitive too. She even brought her favorite kids book with her to share! Will definitely keep her in rotation for our date nights. 🥰
