My name is Gina. I enjoy taking care of kids and am for your children's safety. I am pretty even-keel, but I can be very silly if your kiddo is silly. I would be happy to take your children to the neighborhood park, amusement park, zoo, museums, water park, Aquarium, Chucky Cheese, etc., if you let me know ahead of time. Or I am also fine just staying at your place in your children's environment as well. You choose. I am mainly a fun, attentive babysitter. (Please note, I do not make homes messy. The review that speaks of a messy house was from someone whose house was very messy when I entered, and there was not request for a maid, only a babysitter). Also, even if you see my schedule says I'm unavailable, please just ask. I might actually be available. Sometimes I forget to update my availability.

Gina was amazing definitely will use her again!

Hi there, I’m Logan! I’m 22 years old and I’ve been an aunt for 12 years now. I often babysit my nieces and nephews (usually three at once, ages 6, 9 and 12). In my free time I enjoy crafting, reading, playing video games and watching movies. I love to cook, get outside and learn as much as I can. I get along well with most kiddos (and furry friends) and we always have so much fun! I have a Shih Tzu named Neville and a Sphynx cat named Calcifer! Aside from childcare, I have worked in ski shops/winter sports every year since I was 14. I am a scientifically passionate student at UCCS, am currently enrolled in the Biology program full time and I currently hold my Associate of Science degree from PPSC. I can’t wait to meet your littles!

I love animals and care about their comfort and feelings. I have sat for dogs, cats, chickens, and indoor birds. I'm very attentive to medical needs, appreciate clear instructions, and keep pets out of harm's way.
