"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Katie $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Katie! I’m originally from California and I’m here in Denver for an internship working with single mothers coming out of addiction or abuse. I have had over seven years of experience working in childcare with infants to even teenagers! I bring a warm and calm presence to any environment I’m in. I enjoy crafts, dancing, singing, imaginative play and so much more! I have a Bachelors degree in Behavioral Health Science from Grand Canyon University and I constantly love to implement my education in my childcare adventures! I love taking the kids I watch to different activities if permitted by the parents, these can include the park, library story time and museums!
Caitlyn $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! As the oldest of seven children and full-time homeschool instructor to the youngest three, I have extensive hands-on childcare experience across various age ranges. I am also a full-time legal assistant for a federal agency and a graduate student in Geographic Information Systems and Criminology. What I bring to any household I work for is maturity, responsible decision-making, and creative problem-solving. My hobbies are watching true crime, NASCAR, the Denver Broncos, and the Colorado Avalanche!
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.
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!
