Avery 1 review
$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Wheat Ridge, CO

I have been babysitting since I was ten years old! I grew up as the second oldest child with two younger siblings who I loved helping take care of. My mom has been doing in-home daycare since I was six, so I was always around kids and helping out where I could! I have nieces and a nephew, and find so much joy watching them learn and grow. I have formerly been CPR and first aide certified for adults, infants, and children - the certifications have expired, however I am happy to renew them upon request. My favorite part about being around kids is that I get to bring my inner kid out. I love being silly, playing games, singing songs, and reading stories.

β€œPrompt, communicative and our kiddo enjoyed having Avery here. We would have him watch our kiddo again! ”

Booked by 4 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hey there! πŸ‘‹ I'm Indigo. I've been caring for children of all ages & a variety of pets for over 15 years and I absolutely love it! 😻 Children are so incredible and it brings me so much joy to be around them. I also feel very connected to animals and nature. πŸŒˆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘¦πŸΏπŸ‘§πŸ½πŸ’™πŸŒΏ I am super silly, playful & fun-loving and have a creative imagination that helps me play along with kids easily. Children tend to love me & my enthusiastic, playful and friendly presence. At the same time, I'm a very organized and responsible caregiver. I understand the importance of consistency & routine in children's development, and it's important to me to stick to the guidelines & rules provided by you, the parent(s). I'm a former environmental engineer who now works for herself as a graphic designer for health, wellness & eco-friendly brands, so I have inherent skills on both sides of the coin. πŸŒΌπŸŒ›πŸͺ„πŸ’«πŸŽ¨ With me, you can trust that your little loved ones will be under safe, attentive and loving care while also having a lot of fun!

β€œWe feel very fortunate to have found Indigo for a recurring date night for our young children. Our kids love how kind and artistic she is, and we parents love how responsible and communicative she is. Look no further -- book her ASAP!”
