I’ve taken care of kids from babies to big kids (0–10 years old). I love keeping things fun with games, crafts, and activities outdoors, but I’m also happy to help with meals, homework, and routines. I’m easygoing, patient, and really enjoy being around kids.

Hi! I am a mother of five children ranging in age from 5-15 years old. Now that my kiddos are all in school, I am looking to work part-time. In addition to being a stay at home mama, I have been working with children of all ages in daycare, school, camp, and home settings for over 25 years. I most recently worked at my children's school as the napping house assistant for 16 kindergarteners. I am also a certified postpartum doula and have worked with several families as they made the transition into parenthood. I love cooking, practicing yoga, and indoor rock climbing. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello!!! My name is Deanna and I have been a Colorado resident for 10 years; I have been watching children for 20+ years! **I am the current nanny in a share so am only looking for occasional or evening gigs, thank you** I am comfortable with children as young as newborns and as old as teenagers. I have assisted in raising at least a dozen babies to toddlers and beyond. I am comfortable with one or two children up to a whole classroom of children. I have worked in individual family's homes, after-school programs, pre-schools, been an au pair internationally and have watched many children at birthday parties and on family vacations. When it comes to child care, there is almost nothing that can surprise me or that I haven’t seen or experienced before. I am caring, compassionate, consistent, dependable and fun. I grew up in a family where both parents worked full-time and therefore, I like to be a good role model for children because the sitters I had in my childhood were huge influences on me and I would like to be the same positive influence. I believe in consistency, teaching independence that fosters growth and new ideas, and learning through play. I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and adventure and of arts and crafts. I recognize that children are the future and believe it’s important to teach them valuable skills such as manners, empathy and kindness to carry with them throughout life. I look forward to learning more about you and your family :)

Hi! I'm Raniah, a dedicated caregiver in Lakewood with over 6 years of experience. Whether it's caring for a newborn, keeping up with a toddler, or helping school-age kids with their evening routine, I bring the patience and reliability that only a mom of four can offer. What I Bring to Your Family: • Experience: Years of daycare experience and hands-on parenting. • Safety First: I have years of hands-on experience as a mother and daycare provider. I am currently looking for the right CPR/First Aid certification course to join and plan to be certified very soon. Non-smoker and non-drinker. I don't just "watch" kids-l love to stay active with them through outdoor play, reading, and creative projects. I have a reliable vehicle and am available for school pick-ups, activity drop-offs, and errands. I am looking for part-time or occasional roles where I can truly support a family's needs. My rate is $25/hr, reflecting my extensive experience and ability to provide high-quality care. I’d love to connect and see if I’m the right fit for your home!

“Raniah was wonderful, super comfortable and warm with the kids, prompt, tidied up, and more. We will definitely work with Raniah again!”
