Niesha $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Niesha! I have a passion for working with children and started babysitting over 10 years ago! My experiences, creating a safe space, crafting unique activities, and being someone dependable encouraged me to pursue a career where I could support the youth. I am a provisional mental health therapist who specializes in children/adolescent therapy. I wanted to get back into baby sitting to support my community! I have experience working with children ages infant-adolescents. I spent years supporting families at my childhood daycare, helping families through babysitting sites, and local communities spots. During college, I spent a year being a full time nanny-in this role I was responsible for meals, basic clean up, prepping for kindergarten, and helping with light house work as needed. I also have experience pet sitting when families needed extra support! I believe in an active role of babysitting where children get to explore their interests whether that’s through crafts, books, building blocks, or playing in the front yard! I hope to bring fun and support to your family:)

Marissah $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a naturally organized, detail‑driven person stepping into professional house cleaning and household management after years in roles that required precision, planning, and keeping a million moving parts running smoothly. From managing schedules, coordinating logistics, and maintaining detailed systems in my past work, I’ve built the exact skills that translate into running a home with structure, care, and consistency. I’m someone who genuinely loves a clean, peaceful space. Organizing, decluttering, and creating order is my happy place! I keep my own home spotless, and I’m excited to bring that same energy into helping others. Whether it’s cleaning, tidying, laundry, errands, organizing, or general household coordination, I show up with reliability, warmth, and pride in my work. My goal is simple: make your home feel lighter, calmer, and easier to live in.

Hi there! I’m Mckenna , and I recently relocated to the Denver area after graduating from the University of Kentucky (Go Cats!). Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, I grew up babysitting my younger sister and the children of close family friends, and I continued nannying throughout college. With experience caring for kids of all ages, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and finding fun, engaging activities to do together. I'm flexible with hours and happy to help with transportation when needed. I look forward to connecting and learning more about your family!

Kate $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hi everyone! My name is Kate and I'm a recent Cal Poly graduate with over three years of experience caring for children ages 1–15. Most recently, I spent the past year as a nanny for two children (ages 11 and 14), helping with school pick-ups, homework, transportation to sports and activities, errands, meal prep, and creating fun, engaging experiences throughout the week. I'm dependable, energetic, reliable, and love building strong relationships with the families I work with. I'm also comfortable with light household tasks and have my own car. I have 2 dogs and a cat myself, so I love being around pets! Fun Fact: I was on my college dance team for 4 years! I've danced and been active my whole life, so I like to engage kids in that as well. I also have two younger sisters. I'm looking for part-time work any day of the week, ideally on a consistent week-to-week schedule. And I can also do night time for date nights, a night out, etc. – whatever you need! I can provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting with you!
