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

Hi - My name is Sydney. I am offering child and dog care. I am recent graduate from Loyola University Maryland. I obtained my B.S. in Data Science with a minor in Mathematics and a micro-credential in Information Systems. I completed my degree in 3.5 years. Being born and raised in CO, I went to high school at St. Mary's Academy. I taught ballet to 3-6 years during high school. I worked at RAWK Denver Dance, which did not make it through COVID and MOVE! Arts and Dance Space. I enjoyed getting to teach children because their perspective on the world is refreshing.

Littleton
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO

Hi there! I was a stay at home mom for 15 years, and loved raising my 3 kids. They are grown now, and I’ve realized how much I miss being around children. I was also licensed with the state and ran an in home daycare for many years. I’m comfortable and experienced with all ages. I have dogs and absolutely adore them, and all other animals as well. I’m a Colorado native and love all of the nature this state has to offer. In the summer, you’ll find me paddle boarding or camping and hiking in the mountains. In colder weather, I love to cozy up by the fire with a good book. I’d love the opportunity to watch your little’s or pets. Please feel free to reach out!

I’m happy to be the first to write a review for Holly. My son took to her right away, showing off all of his cars and trucks. They played, read tons of books and ventured outside to our neighborhood playgrounds. She made sure to cleanup the toys after they were finished which was much appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Holly for future sitting needs!

Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO

Hi families, my name is Ana, I’m a teacher and I have over 4 years of childcare experience with newborns, toddlers, and kids of all ages (including up to 3 at once). I'm CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and have my own reliable transportation with a Colorado driver's license. I love creating fun, educational activities, whether that's outdoor play, board games, or everyday learning moments. I also help with meal prep, bedtime routines, tidying play areas, and supporting kids' developmental milestones. Families describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and trustworthy. I speak English and Portuguese (and understand Spanish), and I'm comfortable with pets. Open communication with parents is very important to me, and I'll always keep you updated. I'm currently available weekday evenings and anytime on weekends. I'd love to connect with your family!
