Raquel $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Raquel 😊 I’m studying Psychology with a focus on child development, and I’ve been caring for kids for over 14 years — from newborns to school-age children, including twins! Families describe me as patient, loving, and reliable. I truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel safe while having fun. Whether it’s reading stories, doing crafts, or exploring outdoors, I always aim to create an encouraging and positive environment. I’m bilingual (English/Spanish), CPR-certified, and currently work part-time with a baby — I’m now looking to fill the rest of my week with another great family. I would love to bring my experience, warmth, and creativity into your home!

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

“We have hired Jenny several times now and each time she is responsive, reliable, eager to learn about our kids (ages 8 & 9), and find ways to connect with them. She is easy going, willing to meet the needs we express or go with the flow when we don't have much specific instructions. We feel at ease when we are away and our boys are really enjoying getting to know her and they really appreciate having someone play the active stuff they like to do.”

Great with dogs! My own dog loves me (I think) because he gets lots of attention, cuddles, and quality time. Yours will too. I will make sure to spend all the time in the world making sure your dog has the best day

Christina $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Christina and I recently moved to Colorado with my husband. I am offering child care, pet care, and some household services. I love being a babysitter and have watched/worked with toddlers and children over the past few years. I've babysat for families with children ages three to five, and have worked as a tutor and teaching assistant for elementary and middle school teachers. My responsibilities have included tutoring, dinner and bed time routine, and general childcare. I do have a car and am able to drop off and pick up children to and from school/activities. I'm also willing to help with household services like light cleaning and pickup, laundry, etc... I am happy to work with families with cats or dogs. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Miracle $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Miracle, a 24-year-old babysitter with a real passion for child development and care. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and genuinely enjoy creating fun and nurturing environments for them to thrive. I focus on making sure each child feels supported and engaged, whether we’re playing, learning, or just hanging out. If you’re looking for someone who’s both reliable and enthusiastic about caring for your little ones, I’d love to chat and see how I can help. I’m currently working with a family weekly, but am available for things like date nights, errand runs, or just a break for you to do with as you please!
