Booked by 2 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hi there, my name is Rachael. I started working in childcare eight years ago and love it so much! My favorite age group are toddlers but I have experience with all ages. I’m looking for either part time or full time position, with a minimum of a one year commitment, and my rates start at $28/hour for one child. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and have taken online courses in child development. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love baking, doing crafts, pretend play, and special weekly outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time I love to cook, hike and read. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family!

With a background as a previous certified facility dog handler, growing up with a family dog, and providing occasional care for friends' dogs and cats, I am confident in managing pets of various temperaments, sizes, and personalities! As an active individual working from home three days a week, I can offer flexible scheduling to accommodate midday potty breaks and walks. I am committed to providing personalized attention to meet your pet's individualized needs, whatever they may be! Side note: also am marathon training this summer if your dog needs a jog :)

Megan $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Megan! I graduated from CU Denver in 2021 and I love playing with kids! I have always loved spending time with kids of all ages and happily began babysitting at a young age. I also spent many hours volunteering with children at my church. Since those early years, I have been the occasional babysitter, the long-term nanny, and worked in childcare at a business. I'm looking to find a new nanny position as the children I have been caring for most recently are aging out of needing my help. I am very child-led when it comes to play and exploration, giving little ones a chance to control a bit of their world and dictate the things that interest them the most. But I also do my best to set a structure and routine to the day, with expectations for what will be occurring at different times, to give the children a sense of stability. One of my favorite things to do with kids is play pretend. I love helping them learn about their world and help them explore and use their imaginations. I can help with some small chores like fixing meals for kids, dishes, and some laundry but I prefer to mainly do childcare. I'm very comfortable with pets but I am mildly allergic to fur.
