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!

Ana $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hi families, my name is Ana, I’m a teacher and I have over 4 years of childcare experience with newborns, toddlers, and kids of all ages (including up to 3 at once). I'm CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and have my own reliable transportation with a Colorado driver's license. I love creating fun, educational activities, whether that's outdoor play, board games, or everyday learning moments. I also help with meal prep, bedtime routines, tidying play areas, and supporting kids' developmental milestones. Families describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and trustworthy. I speak English and Portuguese (and understand Spanish), and I'm comfortable with pets. Open communication with parents is very important to me, and I'll always keep you updated. I'm currently available weekday evenings and anytime on weekends. I'd love to connect with your family!

Asia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Asia and currently I work as a lab tech. Additionally, I offer child, pet, and house care services. I have been babysitting since high school, and I worked as a nanny for on two separate occasions. Both for a couple months at a time. I also worked at summer kids camps for many years. I am available to help with house work too. I have worked for resorts cleaning cabins. I have experience caring for animals of many ages and sizes. The dogs I’ve taken care of range in size from very small to over 100lbs, both adult and puppies. The cats I’ve cared for have been both calm and full of energy, and it’s always a win when the cats decide we can be friends!

I bring over nine years of hands-on hospital experience caring for patients of all ages and a wide range of diagnoses. My background includes work in assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities, and acute care settings. I’m comfortable providing everything from basic activities of daily living (ADLs) to high-acuity support alongside ICU-level care. In addition to my hospital experience, I’ve independently contracted through caregiver platforms to support families in their homes. I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care tailored to each individual’s needs. I’m happy to provide excellent references upon request — I’d love for you to hear directly from the families and teams I’ve worked with.
