I live in an apartment downtown with a cat and dog. Willing to pet sit most dogs as long as they get along with my current pets. Can only handle three dogs total including my dog.
“Great dog sitter”
Hello, my name is Veronica, and I am currently in the process of getting my certification for substitute teaching. I am offering child care, senior car, animal care, and household services. I love kids, and have four nieces and nephews that I have adored watching and helping grow up. I have extensive experience watch infants, toddlers, and children. I have worked with seniors in the past, but not at the same regularity as children. I am happy to provide rides, entertainment, cooking, and baking. What is not listed among the groups are adults and children with intellectual disabilities. I worked as social worker with folks who have disabilities for eight years. Most of that time was with adults, but I have also worked with children. My pricing for folks with disabilities is negotiable, but will usually be higher depending on the needs of the individual. I am experienced in and happy to provide household services. Including cleaning, running errands, and cooking. I confess that I am no master chef, but I can cook decent simple food. My baking skills are exceptional. I am an animal lover, and am happy to look after any animals that aren't scorpions, spiders, you get the idea. I do not mind working with snakes.
Hi my name is Niesha! I have a passion for working with children and started babysitting over 10 years ago! My experiences, creating a safe space, crafting unique activities, and being someone dependable encouraged me to pursue a career where I could support the youth. I am a provisional mental health therapist who specializes in children/adolescent therapy. I wanted to get back into baby sitting to support my community! I have experience working with children ages infant-adolescents. I spent years supporting families at my childhood daycare, helping families through babysitting sites, and local communities spots. During college, I spent a year being a full time nanny-in this role I was responsible for meals, basic clean up, prepping for kindergarten, and helping with light house work as needed. I also have experience pet sitting when families needed extra support! I believe in an active role of babysitting where children get to explore their interests whether that’s through crafts, books, building blocks, or playing in the front yard! I hope to bring fun and support to your family:)
Hi there! My name is Anastasia, I am 24 years old and a full time student at MSU denver. I no longer work full time with kids in the but I have past experience! I work full time for the State but am looking for side jobs to make extra money while I finish my last 2 semesters of college. I have experience with kids of all ages. I used to be a cheer coach for kids ages 3-12, I worked as a sitter at a gym daycare, and have done occasional tutoring as well. I am happy to help with all childcare needs including household chores, meal prepping, homework etc..
Hi, I'm Leah! I am originally from New Jersey, but have lived all over, and am now currently a Kindergarten teacher here in the Denver area. I hold my masters of elementary education and have loved being able to take my passion for working with children and make a career out of it. I have over 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience, working with ages ~6 months to 13 years old. Most of my experience is with 4-6 year olds, but I am comfortable with all ages! I also have been a tutor for over 5 years for kids ages 5 learning letter sounds to 21 year olds learning economics! I'm an active person who loves the outdoors and can easily keep up with young kids on the move. As someone who teaches young children, I don’t mind getting messy, cleaning up, and turning everyday moments into fun, engaging learning experiences through play and exploration!
“Leah was a long term sitter for my boys when they were 4/5 and 6/7 years old before her move, and she was fantastic! My son is type 1 diabetic and Leah was so attentive with his medical needs. I never felt worried when they were with her. She was a fun and engaging babysitter and always followed our routine. We miss her and would love to use her again if she’s back in AZ!”
