Lauren $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lauren, and I am a mom to a 2.5-year-old. I am CPR and first aid certified. In addition to this, I've had many different experiences caring for children, ranging from being a nanny to teaching and working at youth organizations and schools. Experience: --I was a nanny for a 13- and 14-year-old the summer after college. --I worked at a home for children in Mexico for three years, where I cared for the children and helped with various education projects. --I taught reading and writing at an elementary school and was a Community School Director at a junior high. --I have a Master’s Degree in International Development and Education and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy. Beyond childcare, I also have experience caring for animals. At home, I take care of our two dogs as well as geese, ducks, and chickens. These responsibilities have taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and maintaining a routine—qualities that carry over into caregiving for children. I love caring for children and animals alike and have made it my life’s work to nurture, teach, and support others!

Emma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Emma. I have over 10 years of experience nannying, tutoring, and babysitting kids ages 1 month to 17 years. I’m CPR and Red Cross certified, and my sister is an Occupational Therapist, so I have experience and expertise working with children with special needs. I have two cats of my own and frequently dog-sit for my parents’ golden-doodle. I worked for a veterinary clinic durning the pandemic, and I love all animals and have no allergies. I have my own vehicle and I’m happy to transport kids when needed. I like to be creative and do outdoor activities, dancing, and playing games. I try to keep kids active and engaged whether it be playing outside, coloring, or making up silly songs, a child’s safety and happiness are the most important parts of the job. I’m always happy to do light housework if requested, and I’m available for long-term or short-term arrangements.

Sophie $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a young professional in the finance industry in Denver and a long time nanny/ babysitter. I have over 12 years of experience and am CPR certified. The majority of families I have worked for have had children aged 6 and under, however I have experience watching (and mainly tutoring) kids in the elementary to highschool range. I grew up in Denver and am still very close to several of the families I’ve worked with over the years. I’ve always loved caring for/ teaching others and dream of being a mom one day. For now, having the opportunity to care for other people’s kids keeps me happy! I own a home in the University neighborhood and can usually be found at work, the gym, or walking around Wash Park. I’d love to help out with random date nights or day coverage that you need.

Hi! I’m a registered nurse from California moving to Englewood and looking for occasional babysitting opportunities before I start my nursing job. I have 14+ years of experience working with children. I studied Pedagogy and worked as a teacher in Brazil before moving to the U.S. as an au pair. I’m caring, responsible, CPR certified, and truly love working with kids! 😊

Aline has been great with our 2 young daughters (5 months old and 2 year old), she was very communicative, both our daughters enjoyed their time with her, and we are looking forward to her help for next times!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 58 families in Denver, CO

I have been working with kids in one way or another for many years now. I have 15 years in the pediatric medical field and worked 10 of those years at Children’s Hospital as a medical assistant. I now nanny full time to 2 boys, ages 1 and 3. Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I have about 10 years of professional nanny experience and have been sitting since the age of 12. I like staying busy and enjoy trips to the park, cooking with your kiddos and doing art projects. I'm a big sports fan and love playing golf any chance I get. Staying active keeps me young! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like a reference. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sarah was great and we enjoyed having her care for our girls! She was on time and jumped right in. Will definitely use again

"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!"
