Hi, my name is Joelle! I am a social worker with 3 years experience with young people aged 1-24 years! I am a former supervised visitation specialist and parent coach who's worked with children in foster care and their biological parents. I currently work as a case manager for young people who are experiencing homelessness. I have been a babysitter since I was 16 and all throughout college. I started to work with children and young people professionally after I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Sociology in 2021. I am an enthusiastic and reliable person who loves working with kids! I can cook and clean, care for children of all ages, and even help out with errands. I am also experienced in house and pet sitting and have a kitty of my own at home! I am CPR certified, QMAP certified, a certified notary public (in case you happen to need something notarized!) Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a time to talk further. I look forward to meeting you!

Maggie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maggie 😊 I’m 27 and recently moved to the Denver area from Wisconsin. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, and caring for kids has always been something I genuinely enjoy—not just a job, but something I take a lot of pride in. I’m CPR-certified and very safety-focused, but I also love creating a fun, relaxed, and engaging environment for kids. Whether that’s helping with homework, coming up with creative activities, or just being someone they feel comfortable around, I try to bring a calm, positive energy into every home. One of my most valuable experiences was running my mom’s daycare while she recovered from knee surgery. I handled everything from daily routines to keeping multiple kids happy, busy, and on schedule. It really strengthened my confidence, organization, and ability to take initiative without needing much direction. I also have tutoring experience, a reliable car, and a valid driver’s license—so I’m happy to help with school pickups, activities, or errands. I don’t mind pitching in with light housekeeping either if it helps make your day a little easier. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as dependable, communicative, and someone who just “gets it” without needing to be asked. I’m always happy to provide references and would love to connect to see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Aurora, CO

I am a certified elementary school teacher, and a certified preschool lead teacher/director. I've taught in public school, private school, and homeschool (co-ops and my own children)! I've lived in Denver my whole life and know the city very well. I am a mother of 6 and live in Central Denver. I am creative, fun, reliable, responsible, and not easily fazed! I love children and understand the dynamics of a busy household and unexpected needs that might come up.

“Sara was AMAZING with our kiddos! My three year old daughter really struggles to go to bed and she got her down without too many tears. She was so kind to my six year old son who’s pretty sensitive too. She even brought her favorite kids book with her to share! Will definitely keep her in rotation for our date nights. 🥰”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
