Hi! I'm Raniah, a dedicated caregiver in Lakewood with over 6 years of experience. Whether it's caring for a newborn, keeping up with a toddler, or helping school-age kids with their evening routine, I bring the patience and reliability that only a mom of four can offer. What I Bring to Your Family: • Experience: Years of daycare experience and hands-on parenting. • Safety First: I have years of hands-on experience as a mother and daycare provider. I am currently looking for the right CPR/First Aid certification course to join and plan to be certified very soon. Non-smoker and non-drinker. I don't just "watch" kids-l love to stay active with them through outdoor play, reading, and creative projects. I have a reliable vehicle and am available for school pick-ups, activity drop-offs, and errands. I am looking for part-time or occasional roles where I can truly support a family's needs. My rate is $25/hr, reflecting my extensive experience and ability to provide high-quality care. I’d love to connect and see if I’m the right fit for your home!
“Raniah was wonderful, super comfortable and warm with the kids, prompt, tidied up, and more. We will definitely work with Raniah again!”
Hi there, My name is Karsyn and I look forward to connecting with you! Months ago I quit my tech job to start a small business and while it's been lovely, my husband and I decided we need more cash coming in while I build it out. I have years of babysitting experience, with a full year using this app in the past so you can check out my reviews! I am 33, very professional, mature and willing to go the extra mile to ensure you feel like your child is in good hands. I enjoy children very much and after realizing I needed a part-time job, I decided this was the route I was most excited about! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Talk soon!
“Karsyn is awesome!”
Hi there! My name is Marina and I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs for a little extra cash! Originally from California, I recently moved to Denver to be closer to family and to work in the field I am passionate about, forensic psychology. My other interests include reading good books, hiking in rainy weather, and trying new restaurants! I have been babysitting for about 15 years now, having started in junior high school babysitting for family members and friends. I have experience caring for toddlers, elementary school-aged children and adolescents. I am punctual, respectful and responsible, and I assure you that if I am babysitting for you, your child is in great hands! I like to have fun and be silly, while also setting limits and ensuring your child's safety. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I am available weeknights and weekends, especially in the evening. Thank you!
I am a mental health therapist (LCSW) looking for part time/date night/weekends jobs to supplement my income and connect me back to the joyous work of supporting youth. I am adventurous, empathetic, responsible, and proactive. I am 30 years old and have been working with kids and pets since I was probably about 14. I have worked as an after-school nanny, completing school pickups and activities, as well as a babysitter fo a variety of ages. I worked as a mother’s-helper for a mother who had twins, supporting her with household cleaning and meals, as well as taking care of her 3 year old daughter. Previously, I worked as a behavior therapist for kids with autism and as a paraprofessional in an elementary school for kids with behavioral and developmental disabilities. Last, my most fun position was as an adventure camp counselor leading kids on various outdoor activities and camping trips. I have a lot of experience! In my free time (and if I can overlap it with work) I love to spend my time outdoors snowboarding, hiking, camping, biking, hanging in the park or walking my dog. I'm very active and love to stay busy and aim to encourage play, adventure and calm in the kiddos I work with. I also have lots of experience caring for dogs (and cats a little). Currently, I have a 7.5 year old german shephard/husky mutt and have dog-sat for many people. Last, I have a reliable car that I don't mind driving kids in to and from activities. Look forward to connecting!
“Zoe was great!”
I have 30 years old and over 5 years of experience with kids all ages, I have care from 4 months old until 13 years old. I can offer some references from my previous positions as nanny. I am looking for a nanny position or a House manager as well. My rate per Kid depends on what will be required to do. It starts at $25 per hour and for Nanny share $32 per hour, payment in Cash preferably. I am looking for long term at least 1 year, 40 hours guaranteed per week, vacations, sick days, holidays as well. Right now I am available from 7am-4pm or 4:30pm from Monday through Friday. I live in Westminster and would love to find a Job close to this area, but I am open to commute for a 30 min drive. I have a reliable car I can use to drive the kids, I have taken kids to libraries, museums, playdates, to the park. I can speak either English or Spanish and I am comfortable with either. Looking to start soon, and currently on a Full Time Job, that I would like to give 1 week of notice.
