$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!

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.

Doriannys $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Doriannys, and I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person with real-life experience caring for children because I am a mother of 4 kids. Taking care of children has taught me how to be organized, attentive, loving, and calm in different situations. I truly enjoy spending quality time with kids, helping them learn, play, and feel safe and supported. I also love studying languages and teaching what I know in a fun and engaging way, which helps children develop communication and learning skills naturally. I enjoy outdoor activities, creative games, reading, music, and creating positive environments where children can feel happy, comfortable, and understood. Families can count on me to be dependable, respectful, and attentive to their children’s needs and routines.

Asia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Asia and currently I work as a lab tech. Additionally, I offer child, pet, and house care services. I have been babysitting since high school, and I worked as a nanny for on two separate occasions. Both for a couple months at a time. I also worked at summer kids camps for many years. I am available to help with house work too. I have worked for resorts cleaning cabins. I have experience caring for animals of many ages and sizes. The dogs I’ve taken care of range in size from very small to over 100lbs, both adult and puppies. The cats I’ve cared for have been both calm and full of energy, and it’s always a win when the cats decide we can be friends!
