Gabi $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 4th Grade teacher in Denver Public Schools district on summer break. I’ve taught elementary grade levels (all subjects!) for 6 years. Throughout the years, I’ve taught 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and 4th grade. I am very familiar with the Literacy and Math standards progression from K-5 and the strategies/language students need to learn to reach their academic goals. In past summers, I have taught summer school, coordinated summer camps, and worked for the parks and rec department a coaching soccer and basketball. I believe that learning needs to be a great mix of hard work and fun! This summer, I decided to take the summer off and not commit to a full time position. So here I am- still very much eager to be around kids on a part time basis. I’m excited to meet you, your family, and learn about how I can be the most helpful!

Brandi $25 per hour for 1 child

I have had the privilege of working as a dedicated nanny, providing exceptional care and support to children from various backgrounds. It has been incredibly rewarding to witness their growth and development, and I take pride in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for them. For three years, I had the wonderful opportunity to work as a toddler teacher at La Petite. This experience allowed me to contribute to the early education of young children and shape their journey in discovering the world around them. I gained valuable insights into child development, honed my classroom management skills, and developed engaging activities that helped foster their curiosity and imagination. During my two years as a tutor, I had the pleasure of assisting students in their academic journeys. By offering personalized instruction and guidance, I was able to help them overcome challenges and reach their full potential. Adapting my teaching methods to cater to their individual learning styles was crucial in ensuring their success, and witnessing their progress was incredibly fulfilling. As a substitute teacher, I had the opportunity to step into various classrooms and adapt quickly to new environments. This role allowed me to gain versatility and resilience, managing different classroom dynamics and delivering lessons across various subjects. It was a dynamic and fast-paced experience that further sharpened my skills as an educator. Most recently, I spent two years as a kindergarten teacher, a role that brought me immense joy and fulfillment. Guiding young children through their first experiences in formal education was a privilege. I designed engaging lesson plans, fostered a positive and inclusive learning environment, and helped my students develop academically, socially, and emotionally. Witnessing their growth and enthusiasm for learning was truly gratifying. Collectively, my seven years as a nanny, three years as a toddler teacher at La Petite, two years as a tutor, substitute teacher, and kindergarten teacher have shaped me into a passionate and versatile educator. My commitment to the well-being and development of children, along with my ability to create engaging and enriching experiences, make me confident in my skills and excited for future opportunities in the field.

Ryah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! I'm Ryah — a twenty-year-old student, sister, friend, and daughter, as well as a caring and dependable babysitter and nanny with over five years of experience working with children of all ages. Over the years, I've had the privilege of supporting many families as a trusted babysitter, spending two years as a dedicated nanny, working as an assistant director for a preschool enrichment company, teaching fitness and yoga classes, and gaining two years of hands-on experience as a preschool teacher's aide. Alongside my professional experience, 1 am currently a third year college student pursuing a degree in Human Development and Family Studies, with the goal of becoming a Child Life Specialist. Through these roles, I've developed a strong ability to balance fun and structure, encourage creativity, and respond calmly and confidently to the everyday moments that matter most. I love planning engaging activities, supporting learning through play, and helping children feel safe, heard, and valued. Whether it's assisting with homework, organizing crafts, playing games, or keeping daily routines on track, I take pride in creating a positive and nurturing environment for every child and family I work with. I believe communication/trust are the foundation of strong relationships with families, I strive to be someone both parents and children can rely on. I am CPR/First Aid certified (adjust if needed), attentive to individual needs, and always focused on maintaining a safe and supportive space. I would love the opportunity to bring my patience, energy, and genuine passion for working with children to your family, and to build meaningful, lasting connections along the way.
