$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Estes Park, CO

Hi there— I am Rachel, a warm, attentive, and experienced caregiver and household support professional with several years of full-time nanny experience caring for children of all ages. I have worked most often with toddlers and take care in following or creating sweet daily rhythms for young ones. I love working with kids across all stages and specialize in creative play, emotional attunement, and helping children feel safe, confident, and genuinely seen. My background includes long-term nanny roles, household management, and private chef experience. I am comfortable supporting the full rhythm of home life, from school routines and imaginative play to nourishing meal prep and keeping things organized behind the scenes. I also have experience as a children’s nature connection camp instructor and bring a strong foundation in nature-based mentorship and social-emotional learning through time playing outdoors. I love connecting with children through music, storytelling, hands-on creativity, and curiosity-led exploration. Supporting emotional regulation, resilience, and self-expression is central to how I work with kids. I aim to create spaces where they can grow while feeling secure and understood. Families often describe me as big-hearted, grounded, playful, and intuitive. I take safety and responsibility seriously while bringing warmth, joy, and calm presence into the home. My goal is always to support not just the children, but the whole family system and create an environment where everyone feels supported and at ease. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a wonderful fit for your family.

Rachel was a gem to work with. She was on time both times I worked with her (1 min early on one day), prompt, responsive, proactive, and excellent with my two children. I would highly recommend working with her!

Hi, My Name is Aminata Aalyah and I am a student at University of Colorado Boulder studying medicine. I am offering childcare, petcare, and household services. I have been babysitting kids for over five years and I absolutely love it; it’s even inspired me to become a Pediatrician. I have been CPR, Stop the Bleed, and BLS certified 3 times. I am also a licensed phlebotomist. My previous responsibilities when booked have included running errands, cooking, driving, and tutoring. I am comfortable caring for families with dogs, cats, etc.

Our kids connected with Aminata immediately, which is HUGE! Highly recommend!!!!!

Hello! I'm Camilla, and believe it or not, I started babysitting when I was 10 years old for a family with 3 children, at the now-unheard-of rate of 50 cents an hour! I'm a LOT older now, and moved back to Colorado in 2010 after spending 25 years in NYC working in children's publishing. I'm not a parent myself, but am young-at-heart, fun, funny, and caring. I am a devoted aunt to a niece and nephew in Amherst, MA, and my friends' kids all love me and think I'm one of them. I'm a responsible, mature adult with a long career history in children's books. I love reading aloud to children of any age, and am comfortable with kids from newborns to teenagers. The safety and happiness of your offspring are my top priority. In my free time I enjoy cooking and baking, trying new restaurants, traveling, pop culture, and All Things Apple. During the pandemic I worked with just two long-term families, where everyone was super-cautious, and I am fully up-to-date with all COVID vaccinations and boosters. I do require that any families I work with going forward are also vaccinated and boosted, and I prefer not to work with families who choose not to vaccinate their children. I routinely work with infants, and my priority is keeping them safe. You can trust me in your home and with your family because in addition to a background check through UrbanSitter, I have a SafetyPIN. SafetyPIN does a broader background check and a behavioral screening. My SafetyPIN is BUV1P8EK, and you can learn more and verify it at getasafetypin.com/verify. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Because my time is in high demand, I don’t accept babysitting jobs for weekends (Friday through Sunday) from new clients without a one-hour in-person interview, for which my standard hourly rate based on the number of children applies. This is to make sure that I am a good fit for your family, and to lessen the chance of last-minute cancellations. I will happily waive the interview requirement for non-peak-time bookings, though I do prefer to at least speak by phone before accepting new clients. Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll give my services a try!

Flexible with scheduling and great care!
