Mackenzie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have plenty experience with infants, toddlers, young children and pets. I have months of experience working with an infant who required oral meds for reflux and thrush. This caused her to rarely sleep (reflux woke her up) and was up every 30 min most nights. I am no stranger to holding babies while they nap (if needed and preferred by parents). I love engaging in play, learning games, etc. I believe in gentle but firm corrections. I do NOT believe in yelling or intimidation tactics and will not book with you if that is expected. Children need a safe space to grow and develop properly. As for pets I have years of expierence. I have a German shepherd myself who is trained. I have worked at doggie daycares/boarding facilities. I understand a fair amount of dog body language, how to break up fights (depending on size of both dogs), how to give meds, and can do some light training if needed. I also have expierence with cats, rabbits, ferrets, and rats. I can care for certain farm animals if they are friendly. My knowledge on reptiles/amphibians is very limited outside of frogs and turtles. I have my own house cleaning business and can work that in for a different rate depending on what is needed. Message me for questions!

Booked by 2 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

I am a certified elementary school teacher, and a certified preschool lead teacher/director. I've taught in public school, private school, and homeschool (co-ops and my own children)! I've lived in Denver my whole life and know the city very well. I am a mother of 6 and live in Central Denver. I am creative, fun, reliable, responsible, and not easily fazed! I love children and understand the dynamics of a busy household and unexpected needs that might come up.

Sara was AMAZING with our kiddos! My three year old daughter really struggles to go to bed and she got her down without too many tears. She was so kind to my six year old son who’s pretty sensitive too. She even brought her favorite kids book with her to share! Will definitely keep her in rotation for our date nights. 🥰

Booked by 3 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hi! My name is Paola, and I’m a reliable, caring, and patient babysitter with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages. I always focus on creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn and feel comfortable.. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to effectively communicate with diverse families and support bilingual development when desired I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games. I’m also happy to help with homework, meal prep, transportation to and from school or extracurricular activities and bedtime routines. Parents can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and communicative. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your children, and I always treat every family with respect and care. My goal is to make both kids and parents feel comfortable and supported. I’d love the opportunity to help your family!
