Hi! My name is Sandra, I’m bilingual. I have 5+ years of experience working with kids! As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. I’m loving, responsible, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy creating a calm and fun environment for kids. I also have experience as an RBT (2+ years)!

Hailey $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Hailey, and I love working with kids and animals. I have two younger siblings who are 2 and 4 years old, and I’ve helped care for them and babysat them for as long as they’ve been alive. I’ve also babysat for other families over the years, which has given me experience with different ages, routines, and family styles. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with young children and daily routines like feeding, playtime, naps, and bedtime. I’m CPR certified through the American Red Cross and always put safety first. I also have experience doing light housework such as laundry, dishes, and dusting, and I’m happy to help keep things organized while I’m there. I’m dependable, kind, and patient, and I truly enjoy helping families feel at ease when they’re away.

Booked by 2 families in Highlands Ranch, CO

Hi there, my name is Lindsay! With a compassionate heart and a wealth of experience, I am dedicated to providing attentive, nurturing, and engaging care for children of all ages. My background in babysitting, volunteering with the Englewood school district, and working with a nonprofit that supports kids with different learning styles has given me a deep understanding of how to foster confidence and social skills in young minds. As a medical professional and current nursing student, I am well-versed in safety and well-being, holding a Basic Life Support (BLS) certification from the American Heart Association. Whether it’s ensuring a child's health and safety or creating a fun, enriching environment, I bring both knowledge and warmth to my caregiving approach. Beyond my professional skills, I have a natural ability to connect with children through music, creativity, and play, keeping them active and engaged in ways that make learning fun. As a step-parent and experienced caregiver, I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and a nurturing presence in a child’s life. Additionally, my love for animals means I’m comfortable in pet-friendly homes, ensuring that both little ones and furry family members receive the care and attention they deserve. With my experience, empathy, and dedication, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and joyful environment for every child in my care.

“Lindsay was so sweet and wonderful with our kids! She was very communicative, prompt, cleaned up after dinner, and overall very reliable. Our kids asked if she could come back again!”

Booked by 1 family in Highlands Ranch, CO

Hi, I'm Sarah! With more than 35 years of childcare experience, caring for children has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I'm the proud mom of 5, grandma of 7, a former licensed in-home childcare provider, and have worked as a lead teacher, recreation center childcare provider, and long-term nanny. My goal is simple—to provide nurturing, fun, and safe care where children feel loved and included.

“We had such a great experience with Sarah! She was available last minute and so flexible and accommodating with our changing plans. It was clear she has tons of experience with kids, and our little one absolutely loved spending time with her. We would happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
