Hi! My name is Katie! I’m originally from California and I’m here in Denver for an internship working with single mothers coming out of addiction or abuse. I have had over seven years of experience working in childcare with infants to even teenagers! I bring a warm and calm presence to any environment I’m in. I enjoy crafts, dancing, singing, imaginative play and so much more! I have a Bachelors degree in Behavioral Health Science from Grand Canyon University and I constantly love to implement my education in my childcare adventures! I love taking the kids I watch to different activities if permitted by the parents, these can include the park, library story time and museums!

Lindsay $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Lindsay! As the second oldest of five, I grew up helping care for my younger siblings, including my brother with Williams Syndrome. This experience taught me the importance of patience, kindness, and understanding in caregiving. I began babysitting for other families at age 14 and have worked with children of all ages, from newborns to 12 years old. I graduated from college in 2018, spent two years in Boston, and moved to Denver in August 2020. I have a genuine love for spending time with kids and enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences through arts and crafts, playing games outside, and reading stories. I’m known for being creative, energetic, and playful, and I always strive to provide a nurturing and supportive environment. While I’ve always dreamed of becoming a mom someday, I’m currently focused on providing the best care for your little ones. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to know more about me!

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!
