Booked by 1 family in Golden, CO

I am nineteen years old, looking for new experiences. I am a funny, sweet, opening, kind human. The main reason why I want to start helping with kids is because I wanna be part of helping a new generation grow. I've had a lot of experiences that no others should live through, so if I have a chance to help with other I would love to. I have been babysitting for over five years. First starting with my sisters kids and then going to other families. I have experience with kids from ages newborn to twelve year olds, I worked with kids with adhd, autism, anger issues and kids with trauma. I have CPR certifications and first aid training.

She did a great job with the kids. Fed them dinner and put them to bed smoothly. I’ll definitely be booking her again.

Booked by 3 families in Golden, CO

I am a mental health therapist (LCSW) looking for part time/date night/weekends jobs to supplement my income and connect me back to the joyous work of supporting youth. I am adventurous, empathetic, responsible, and proactive. I am 30 years old and have been working with kids and pets since I was probably about 14. I have worked as an after-school nanny, completing school pickups and activities, as well as a babysitter fo a variety of ages. I worked as a mother’s-helper for a mother who had twins, supporting her with household cleaning and meals, as well as taking care of her 3 year old daughter. Previously, I worked as a behavior therapist for kids with autism and as a paraprofessional in an elementary school for kids with behavioral and developmental disabilities. Last, my most fun position was as an adventure camp counselor leading kids on various outdoor activities and camping trips. I have a lot of experience! In my free time (and if I can overlap it with work) I love to spend my time outdoors snowboarding, hiking, camping, biking, hanging in the park or walking my dog. I'm very active and love to stay busy and aim to encourage play, adventure and calm in the kiddos I work with. I also have lots of experience caring for dogs (and cats a little). Currently, I have a 7.5 year old german shephard/husky mutt and have dog-sat for many people. Last, I have a reliable car that I don't mind driving kids in to and from activities. Look forward to connecting!

Zoe was great!

Miracle Arvada
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Miracle, a 24-year-old babysitter with a real passion for child development and care. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and genuinely enjoy creating fun and nurturing environments for them to thrive. I focus on making sure each child feels supported and engaged, whether we’re playing, learning, or just hanging out. If you’re looking for someone who’s both reliable and enthusiastic about caring for your little ones, I’d love to chat and see how I can help. I’m currently working with a family weekly, but am available for things like date nights, errand runs, or just a break for you to do with as you please!
