Hi! My name is Rachel. I'm 22 years old. A little about me, I love to read and write. Any forms of art, music, film, literature, and painting. I take so much joy in. I always enjoy going out on a hike or just being outside with nature. I often spend a lot of time trying to be grounded.🌞 I am passionate about childcare. I would love to be your next babysitter/nanny! In 2024, I gained 4+ months of experience, in being the primary caregiver for my 6-month-old niece. My current part time job revolves around childcare as well. I teach basic ballet to toddlers ranging from ages 1-5 years old. I manage classes up to 10 kids. Caring for my niece is where I found my love for young developing minds. My Child Care Experience + Love: I’m very comfortable caring for babies and young children. My main experience lies in toddler age 2-5 years old. I am open to older. My experience includes diaper changing, bottle feeding, introducing baby food/feeding baby food, and maintaining consistent nap and bedtime routines. I as well have experience in interactive playtime, positive reinforcement, positive redirection, and managing normal toddler behaviors. I understand how important it is to create a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for any baby, child, and person. I enjoy spending quality time with children. Whether it's playtime, chill time, or learning together. With my niece, I regularly engaged in interactive play with toys, sensory activities, books, and age-appropriate educational TV. As well as more lowkey activities. With my toddler classes we actively engage in physical activity, learning new social/communication skills, and overall general connections to each other. I try to focus on helping children stay engaged, happy, safe, and comfortable. In addition to childcare, I can handle general household tasks related to the child, such as cleaning up messes, organizing items, and maintaining a tidy environment for everyone. I’m attentive to needs, patient, and always open to any change. I’m dedicated, and passionate, and genuinely enjoy caring for children. I absolutely love my current job and want to expand my own understanding. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, positive environment for your baby!🩷 Thank you!
Hello! My name is Sarah and I live in Arvada, I am looking for last minute nanny, part time any position! I was a Sunday school teacher in highschool and babysat 2 girls ages 2-6 for the summer!
“Sarah was great with my two kids. She’s warm, friendly and engaging! My daughter was so sad that she left, so we will definitely have her back! ”
Mother of two successful female college graduates looking for extra income in my off season. I work as a self employed Landscape Architect and have flexible time throughout the season. I realize I miss having kiddos around and love to spend time, teach, cook, play with them. I taught cooking school for kids so that’s an activity I have lots of experience with! I love pets too and happy to take both human and fur babies on urban adventures.
I have several years of experience working with young children in a Montessori school setting. I’m caring, patient, and responsible, and I love creating a safe and positive environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’m also familiar with Montessori activities and enjoy encouraging children’s independence and creativity. I’d be happy to provide your family with reliable and loving childcare!
“We have hired Jenny several times now and each time she is responsive, reliable, eager to learn about our kids (ages 8 & 9), and find ways to connect with them. She is easy going, willing to meet the needs we express or go with the flow when we don't have much specific instructions. We feel at ease when we are away and our boys are really enjoying getting to know her and they really appreciate having someone play the active stuff they like to do.”

"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!"
