Asia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Asia and currently I work as a lab tech. Additionally, I offer child, pet, and house care services. I have been babysitting since high school, and I worked as a nanny for on two separate occasions. Both for a couple months at a time. I also worked at summer kids camps for many years. I am available to help with house work too. I have worked for resorts cleaning cabins. I have experience caring for animals of many ages and sizes. The dogs I’ve taken care of range in size from very small to over 100lbs, both adult and puppies. The cats I’ve cared for have been both calm and full of energy, and it’s always a win when the cats decide we can be friends!

Russell $20 per hour for 1 child

I bring over nine years of hands-on hospital experience caring for patients of all ages and a wide range of diagnoses. My background includes work in assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities, and acute care settings. I’m comfortable providing everything from basic activities of daily living (ADLs) to high-acuity support alongside ICU-level care. In addition to my hospital experience, I’ve independently contracted through caregiver platforms to support families in their homes. I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care tailored to each individual’s needs. I’m happy to provide excellent references upon request — I’d love for you to hear directly from the families and teams I’ve worked with.

Lauren $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lauren, and I am a mom to a 2.5-year-old. I am CPR and first aid certified. In addition to this, I've had many different experiences caring for children, ranging from being a nanny to teaching and working at youth organizations and schools. Experience: --I was a nanny for a 13- and 14-year-old the summer after college. --I worked at a home for children in Mexico for three years, where I cared for the children and helped with various education projects. --I taught reading and writing at an elementary school and was a Community School Director at a junior high. --I have a Master’s Degree in International Development and Education and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy. Beyond childcare, I also have experience caring for animals. At home, I take care of our two dogs as well as geese, ducks, and chickens. These responsibilities have taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and maintaining a routine—qualities that carry over into caregiving for children. I love caring for children and animals alike and have made it my life’s work to nurture, teach, and support others!

After working as a baby sitter for a few years I got a job working with a business in Durango Colorado called Nifty Nanny through 2017 and 2018. After that I kept doing babysitting in Tuscon Arizona. In 2021 I worked at a overnight summer camp called Colvig Silver Camps for 2 months so I’ll have plenty of games and activities to keep your kids happy. I have CPR certification and Wilderness First Aid Certification.

"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!"
