Virginia $28 per hour for 1 child

I have 9 years of experience in the classroom as a gen-ed teacher and 3 years of experience as a special education teacher for students with mild to moderate disabilities. Throughout my time teacher, in college, and high school I have worked part time for many families as a nanny, tutor, swim instructor, house manager, you name it. I am now a recent graduate with a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and I am working as a therapist with parents and kids. I love being around people, getting outside, and doing fun activities that get our brains and bodies working. I cook, clean, do laundry, plan activities for my own family and enjoy doing the same things for others.

$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Leah! I am originally from New Jersey, but have lived all over, and am now currently a Kindergarten teacher here in the Denver area. I hold my masters of elementary education and have loved being able to take my passion for working with children and make a career out of it. I have over 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience, working with ages ~6 months to 13 years old. Most of my experience is with 4-6 year olds, but I am comfortable with all ages! I'm an active person who loves the outdoors and can easily keep up with young kids on the move. As someone who teaches young children, I don’t mind getting messy, cleaning up, and turning everyday moments into fun, engaging learning experiences through play and exploration!

“Leah was a long term sitter for my boys when they were 4/5 and 6/7 years old before her move, and she was fantastic! My son is type 1 diabetic and Leah was so attentive with his medical needs. I never felt worried when they were with her. She was a fun and engaging babysitter and always followed our routine. We miss her and would love to use her again if she’s back in AZ!”

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.

Gabi $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 4th Grade teacher in Denver Public Schools district on summer break. I’ve taught elementary grade levels (all subjects!) for 6 years. Throughout the years, I’ve taught 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and 4th grade. I am very familiar with the Literacy and Math standards progression from K-5 and the strategies/language students need to learn to reach their academic goals. In past summers, I have taught summer school, coordinated summer camps, and worked for the parks and rec department a coaching soccer and basketball. I believe that learning needs to be a great mix of hard work and fun! This summer, I decided to take the summer off and not commit to a full time position. So here I am- still very much eager to be around kids on a part time basis. I’m excited to meet you, your family, and learn about how I can be the most helpful!
