Booked by 7 families in Highlands Ranch, CO

Hello, my name is Karen, I’m 27 years old and I’m from Argentina. Back in my country, I’m an Elementary School Teacher. I lived in California for almost 2 years, taking care of 4 girls, between 5 and 12 years old at that moment. Now, I take care of one 9 years old boy and an 8 years old girl. I have a lot of experience with kids and I enjoy not just taking care of them, but also getting involved and playing together. I’m also VERY organized and clean, so I love helping with household chores. Laundry, cleaning, folding, packing or unpacking, etc. are things that I’m good with. Any question, you can contact me and I will be happy to answer!

“Karen did amazing with my 8 year old! Definitely recommend :)”

Isabel $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name’s Izzy and this is my first time using an app to be a caregiver! I am a Registered Nurse with Swedish Medical and have been nursing for over 5 years. I work primarily with the geriatric population and am ACLS/CPR certified, but completed a semester of pediatric nursing and did have my PALS certification (now expired). Growing up I babysat intermittently for over a decade (2 y.o. to 12 y.o.), ran summer camps through my local church (school age children), and nannied (3 y.o. and 6 y.o.) for two summers. I am comfortable around all animals and have always owned a dog, am knowledgeable in caring for them, as well as administering medications to them if needed. I do work full time as a nurse three days a week, but am looking to make a little extra spending money for an upcoming vacation. Please let me know if you have any questions! I would love to get to know you and your family!

Alexei $22 per hour for 1 child

I have been teaching in preschools for the last 5 years. I have mostly been working in Montessori and love the concept. I believe that it truly does take a village to raise a child and I am looking for not just a job but a family to build a relationship with. Teaching is my passion however at this point in my life I’d like to be able to give my love and attention to smaller group of children.

Talon $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a certified newborn care specialist with a calm, steady presence and a real understanding of how tender and overwhelming those early days can feel. I’m also CPR certified, which gives families an added layer of reassurance at night. I’ve spent time supporting infants in the NICU and caring for children with special needs and medical conditions, and that experience really shapes how I care for families. I’m patient, attentive, and very in tune with both baby and parent needs. In addition to newborn care, I also provide in-home pet sitting, senior companion care, and household support. My work across these roles has strengthened my ability to be adaptable, detail-oriented, and deeply attentive to the unique needs of each home I step into. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, supporting a senior, or looking after beloved pets, my approach is always rooted in reliability, compassion, and creating a sense of calm and trust. For families with pets, I offer overnight in-home care so animals can stay comfortable in their routine, along with daily updates for peace of mind. For seniors, I focus on companionship and light assistance, helping with daily routines, meals, and creating a safe, supportive environment. I also provide light household help and errand support to keep everything running smoothly. When I’m in your home, my goal is simple: to create a space where everything feels safe, cared for, and supported. Whether that means helping your baby stay settled so you can rest, making sure your pets feel secure while you’re away, or being a calm and reliable presence for a loved one, I show up fully for each role. Families often tell me they’re able to truly exhale knowing someone experienced and genuinely caring is there. I’m reliable, gentle, easy to communicate with, and I care deeply about creating a calm, supported space for your whole home no matter what services you acquire!
