I am a licensed elementary school teacher with 8 years teaching a variety of grade levels k-5. I grew up in Fort Collins, CO and began working with children about 18 years ago. I was a nursery director caring for multiple children ages 0-12. I received my bachelors of science in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University and my Master of Arts in Teaching elementary education from University of Northern Colorado. I am crafty, I enjoy baking, sports, dogs, being outside, board games, music, and more. I care about all needs of the child and have developed a large collection of tools for working with children. I am CPR certified, a safe driver, and have experience working with youth with special needs. I hope you will find that I am the passionate and thoughtful caretaker you need, whether it’s a short term, date night, or regular part time summer work your kids will be in safe hands.

Booked by 4 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hi! I’m Regan. I love working with children and extensive experience babysitting for various age groups. My background includes working in a school nurse’s office, where I developed strong skills in care and communicating with both children and parents. Additionally, I’ve spent five rewarding years coaching gymnastics for kids ages 2 to 15. I believe it’s essential to be fully engaged with children and prioritize meaningful interactions over screen time. I encourage exploration through play, fostering creativity and growth in a fun environment. I have reliable transportation and am comfortable around pets. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning and running errands as needed.

Booked by 2 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hi, My name is Madelyne! I’m a reliable, creative, and attentive caregiver with a strong background in both childcare and education. I currently work in education and prevention for a nonprofit, where I support individuals and communities through learning, safety, and well-being initiatives. I’m also in school studying consciousness and psychology, which deepens my understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and supportive communication. I have hands-on babysitting experience with children as young as 1 year old and am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time, depending on their ages and needs. I bring a calm, grounded presence and genuinely enjoy engaging kids through music, art, and outdoor activities. With several years of experience in restaurant operations, I’m highly knowledgeable about food safety and allergy management, so you can feel confident your child’s dietary needs will be handled with care. I am CPR certified and prioritize safety in all situations. I’m also happy to support your household beyond childcare. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds and enjoy spending time with animals just as much as I do with kids. Additionally, I’m open to assisting elder family members with companionship and light support. I’m glad to help with errands, light cleaning, and general household tasks to make your day-to-day life easier. In my free time, I love gardening, hiking, spending time at the park, and caring for my tortoise—so I’m always happy to encourage outdoor play and curiosity about nature. I’m also comfortable helping with meal prep, routines, and bedtime. I strive to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where children feel supported and parents feel at ease.

“Madelyne is the best! She is sooo good with our kids and is a total ray of sunshine. She takes care of our 16 month twins boys who are high octane energy. You’ll love Madelyne just like we do :)”

Booked by 6 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

I started babysitting when I was 12 and have continued to throughout my life. I’m a 50 year old mother of two boys, 22 and 20 and we had a dog and multiple cats along the way. I worked at gym daycares when the kids were little as well as traded babysitting with friends with kids. I myself was raised with a younger sister and many animals including a pony, dogs, cats, fish, birds, a bunny, turtles and rats. I spent my summers at our families ranch in Northern California which has horses, cows, dogs, cats, peacocks, turkeys and pheasants. All in all I’ve had the joy of enjoying and taking care of many children and animals through the years and look forward to doing the same with yours.

“She was quick to respond and help us out with taking care of our child!”
