Harley $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Harley, and I'm currently a Psychology and Criminology student at the University of Denver. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids and have been babysitting children of all ages since I was 13 years old. I'm now 21 and have years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing one-on-one support to children with developmental needs through play-based learning and skill building. I've also coached U4-U5 soccer and worked as an overnight camp counselor and lifeguard, giving me plenty of experience keeping kids engaged, safe, and having fun. In addition to childcare, I love animals and am happy to care for both dogs and cats. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, or keeping pets company while you're away, I'm comfortable with a variety of pet care needs. I can also help with household tasks, including light cleaning, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, and running errands. I'm patient, energetic, dependable, and committed to creating a safe, positive environment for children and pets alike. I look forward to helping make your family's day-to-day life a little easier!

Emery $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO

My name is Emery, and working with kids is my passion! I’m currently in school part time at MSU perusing my degree in Early Childhood Education, but for the past year I have been working at a child care center downtown! I love creating a trusting, fun, and inclusive environment for kids to be themselves while also following their routine! I have worked with kids since I was 12, both in babysitting and in multiple formal childcare settings. I have worked with kids ages 0-12 and am fully trained and comfortable working with any age group. I have also been a professional nanny for the past 2+ years, including cooking/cleaning, pet care, transporting the kids, and overnights.

Sara $25 per hour for 1 child

I have always loved children, and I have always taken care of the children in my family and 10 years ago I started professionally. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED and Advanced Child Care trained. I do playful activities with the kids, so they can develop new skills, stimulate cognition and motor coordination. I help with all the routine that parents need, and I adapt to the routine and methods chosen and applied by the family, because it helps the need to have an organized routine to reduce stress and anxiety, then they will have the habit of performing activities according to a routine they already know. All this time taking care of children, I learned that I love dealing with them even more than I imagined, they are always so grateful for everything we've done, they show us so much gratitude in the form of affection and love that makes it all so special. Every child is very different and I give them space so they can feel comfortable being themselves, being respected, loved and feeling safe.

Amie $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Amie! I graduated from Cal State Channel Islands in May 2025 with a degree in Sociology, and I offer child care, senior care, and pet care. For child care, most of my experience comes from taking care of my nieces and nephews (ages 3–11). I love keeping kids busy with fun crafts, simple cooking or baking, and activities that let them be creative. I’m also happy to help out with homework when needed. For senior care, I’ve volunteered in a hospital setting where I spent time keeping seniors company and helping during meals. While I don’t provide medical care, I really enjoy being a kind, patient companion and helping out where I can. For pet care, I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two of my own, a Maltipoo and a German Shepherd. I can help with walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds, but I do have mild allergies, so it’s helpful to know if pets aren’t hypoallergenic. Overall, I’m caring, reliable, and love supporting families in any way I can!
