Harley $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Harley, and I'm currently a Psychology and Criminology student at the University of Denver. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids and have been babysitting children of all ages since I was 13 years old. I'm now 21 and have years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing one-on-one support to children with developmental needs through play-based learning and skill building. I've also coached U4-U5 soccer and worked as an overnight camp counselor and lifeguard, giving me plenty of experience keeping kids engaged, safe, and having fun. In addition to childcare, I love animals and am happy to care for both dogs and cats. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, or keeping pets company while you're away, I'm comfortable with a variety of pet care needs. I can also help with household tasks, including light cleaning, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, and running errands. I'm patient, energetic, dependable, and committed to creating a safe, positive environment for children and pets alike. I look forward to helping make your family's day-to-day life a little easier!

Hi! My name is Lekha, and I’m a college student at the University of Denver studying psychology. I’ve always loved working with and caring for others, and I’m someone who is responsible, patient, dependable, and easy to get along with. I have a lot of experience working with children through babysitting as well as running summer camps, and helping care for younger family members. I am comfortable keeping kids entertained, helping with routines, preparing meals, and making sure they feel safe comfortable and happy. I also grew up around dogs and have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them lots of attention. I’m happy to help with light household tasks as well, such as tidying up, laundry, dishes, and keeping things organized. I’ve also worked in restaurants and event settings, which has taught me how to stay calm, organized, and responsible in busy situations. I’m very comfortable communicating with people and take my responsibilities seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and animals and want families to feel comfortable knowing their loved ones are in good hands!
