Robin $21 per hour for 1 child

My name is Robin . I was born in a close knit small farming community in California, where I resided for 45 years. This is where I raised my 3 children. I was a stay at home Mom\housewife I was very involved in their after school sports. As I have been with my Grandchildren. I feel I am a natural at caregiving. I am friendly, always ready to chat or lend a helping hand. I am dependable, and able to handle multiple tasks on a daily basis. I have experience with senior care as well.

Holland $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m 23 and a native to Colorado. I love to travel, listen to music/concerts, and art. I spend as much time possible outside, whether that’s on my tpaddle board, taking my dogs on hikes, or simply taking a walk with a great playlist. My purpose in life is to help young minds and hearts grow. Encouraging curiosity in nature, science, art, culture while supporting emotional development is my passion. Beyond hobbies and passion I have many years of experience working in child care and long term nannying. For the last year I’ve been working in an Early Childhood Development Center in the 2 year old classrooms and most recently in the Kindergarten classroom, while earning my CPR training, AED training, First Aid training, and Level 2 Credentials in Early Childhood Education through Colorado Shines. I’ve managed meal times, outside activities, age appropriate/ milestone meeting activities, collaborated with parents on assessments, and kept a clean,sanitized, and organized classroom based off Colorado Regulations and Laws. Prior to working in a center I nannied long term for two families with children age ranging from infant- 10 years old. While working for my families with older kids I helped with errands, household work, homework/tutoring, after school activities, social events for school and casual hangs with friends. I look forward to joining your village :)

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emily, and I’m a reliable, caring, and patient babysitter who truly enjoys working with kids. I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or sticking to bedtime routines, I’m attentive and engaged. I did want to note, please do not worry about rates especially for one time needs! I understand that care can be pricey! I am ALWAYS willing to work with what works for you! I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their children in someone else’s care, so I prioritize clear communication, responsibility, and trust. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and keeping things organized. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make sure your kids are happy, safe, and well cared for!
