Hi! I’m Rachel, a warm, attentive, and highly experienced caregiver and household support professional with several years of full-time nanny experience caring for children of all ages. I’m currently seeking babysitting and short-term childcare roles where I can provide dependable, attentive, and engaging support. 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 Caitlyn! I am 19 and a college student, studying nursing. I am offering child care, pet care, and household care. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have been babysitting since I was 12 for ages 2-12. I have also taught Sunday school/babysitting during church for ages from newborn to 11 years for the past 2 years now. Growing up I had a dog and two cats whom I have taken full care of. I know how to preform basic household chores along with running errands. I often do both of those to help my mom out. I truly love being around kids and just having a good time!
“The best sitter ever she handled Alexander with so much care and made sure he was active and playing the entire time! ”
Hello! My name is Yani, I am 22 years old, I live near Denver CO, and I am currently in my second semester of Nursing School! I love love love all children and animals and am even considering Obstetrics or Peds for my nursing specialty! I currently do home caregiving and have 1 client who I help bathe, dress, feed, and care for. I have two girl nieces (5 & 8) who are my absolute best friends and when the time is right, I can’t wait to make a little league of my own! ✨ I am super flexible with my schedule (as long as college permits it of course) but I have all summer off and I am totally willing to try something new!
Hi! My name is Julie and I live in Boulder County. I spent six months working as an Assistant Preschool Teacher at The Learning Experience in Westminster, and am CPR-certified. I have experience working with children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. In June 2024, I graduated from a performing arts school in New York City. Each time I provided childcare, my ultimate goal is to meet each kid where they are at. I believe structure, compassion, and a nurturing environment are key. When I'm not caring for children, I am in the studio training and auditioning for dance productions and modeling jobs. My favorite style of dance is ballet! Thank you for considering me as your new babysitter. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
“We used Julie twice during our Boulder visit and I can't recommend her enough! She was excellent with our 8 year olds and they are already asking when they can see her next. Very professional, friendly and fun! So glad we found her.”
Hello, my name is McKinzey and I have about 4.5 years nannying experience, with several years of childcare/babysitting experience as well and I was a preschool teacher for a time. I was also a professional birth and postpartum doula for nearly 6 years where I cared for many infants and toddlers. I will be starting graduate school in the fall to earn my Masters of Library and Information Science with a concentration in youth services, to hopefully one day become a children's librarian. So I would bring my love of reading and life long learning to the role! I would love to share more and answer any of your questions.
“McKinzey was fantastic with our 10-month old! We can’t wait to have her over 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!"
