Hi! My name is Elexys, but I go by Lexi. I'm 19 years old and currently attend Metropolitan State University studying nursing, with plans to begin nursing school by August 2026.

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emily, and I’m a reliable, caring, and patient babysitter who truly enjoys working with kids. I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or sticking to bedtime routines, I’m attentive and engaged. I did want to note, please do not worry about rates especially for one time needs! I understand that care can be pricey! I am ALWAYS willing to work with what works for you! I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their children in someone else’s care, so I prioritize clear communication, responsibility, and trust. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and keeping things organized. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make sure your kids are happy, safe, and well cared for!

Niesha $21 per hour for 1 child

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:)

Mallory $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Mallory! I graduated with a bachelor's degree from Grand Canyon University and am currently working on my Master's degree in Nutrition. I also work as a Nutrition Assistant for UCHealth. I am offering childcare. During my undergrad program, I worked for BusyBees, which is a babysitting company in Arizona. I worked for them for about 3 years and have babysat for 50+ families. I have watched children ranging from 5 months to 12 years old. I absolutely love it! A little about me is that I love reading and running. So whether your little one loves to run around and play or prefers to sit and read a book, we will have a great time together!

Taynara $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Aurora, CO

I am a dedicated childcare provider with experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Brazil, which helps me understand child development, emotions, and behaviors in a deeper and more supportive way. I also completed an Au Pair program, which gave me hands-on experience caring for children of different ages while living with a host family and supporting their daily routines. I currently live in Denver, CO, and work as a nanny for an 11-year-old, assisting with her daily routine, walks, swimming classes, music lessons, and playdates. I have an active lifestyle, and I am responsible, patient, loving, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for children. I am punctual, organized, and able to adjust routines according to the family’s needs. I also have experience with younger children, including preparing meals, light household tasks related to the child, homework help, and creating engaging and educational activities throughout the day. I’m looking for a family who values communication, trust, and kindness. I’m available to start immediately and provide excellent care with attention, warmth, and professionalism.
