Sephra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, I'm Sephra! Colorado resident of 2 years, originally from Arizona! Being raised in the foster system, I have experience in caring for children of all ages and situations. As live-in caregiver for my grandparents in their final years, I have the necessary experience for senior care, including those with health issues such as Alzheimer's and seizures. I am close with my 2 and 4 year old niece and nephew - I adore them very much and they love their "Auntie Sesa." I've worked in healthcare as a Medical Assistant for the past 10 years, with family practice and urgent care making up half of my career. I am great with children of various ages as well as senior folks, and can take action in an emergency as needed. I love fur children as well - I am mom to 2 kittens, Cheeto and Mochi, and have raised chameleons, snakes, and hedgehogs! I enjoy a good (or bad) dad joke, discuss fitness and nutrition, play creatively, and nerd- out on video games and pop culture. I look forward to taking care of your family! -Sephra

Matthew $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm currently a college student who recently stepped away from full-time work to focus on education, and I'm excited to find part-time work doing something meaningful—helping care for kids and pets. While I’m new to professional childcare, I’ve spent lots of time around babies and toddlers in my circle of family and friends, and I genuinely love being part of their world as they learn and grow. I’m especially close with my teenage cousin I’ve known since he was an infant. I'm also super comfortable helping out in a busy household! I'm used to managing the chaos that comes with two energetic Siberian huskies, so I'm no stranger to keeping things calm, organized, and running smoothly. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to lend a hand wherever needed. If you’re looking for someone responsible, patient, and truly invested in your child’s and or pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to connect!

"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!"
