Sara $25 per hour for 1 child

I have always loved children, and I have always taken care of the children in my family and 10 years ago I started professionally. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED and Advanced Child Care trained. I do playful activities with the kids, so they can develop new skills, stimulate cognition and motor coordination. I help with all the routine that parents need, and I adapt to the routine and methods chosen and applied by the family, because it helps the need to have an organized routine to reduce stress and anxiety, then they will have the habit of performing activities according to a routine they already know. All this time taking care of children, I learned that I love dealing with them even more than I imagined, they are always so grateful for everything we've done, they show us so much gratitude in the form of affection and love that makes it all so special. Every child is very different and I give them space so they can feel comfortable being themselves, being respected, loved and feeling safe.

Maggie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maggie 😊 I’m 27 and recently moved to the Denver area from Wisconsin. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, and caring for kids has always been something I genuinely enjoy—not just a job, but something I take a lot of pride in. I’m CPR-certified and very safety-focused, but I also love creating a fun, relaxed, and engaging environment for kids. Whether that’s helping with homework, coming up with creative activities, or just being someone they feel comfortable around, I try to bring a calm, positive energy into every home. One of my most valuable experiences was running my mom’s daycare while she recovered from knee surgery. I handled everything from daily routines to keeping multiple kids happy, busy, and on schedule. It really strengthened my confidence, organization, and ability to take initiative without needing much direction. I also have tutoring experience, a reliable car, and a valid driver’s license—so I’m happy to help with school pickups, activities, or errands. I don’t mind pitching in with light housekeeping either if it helps make your day a little easier. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as dependable, communicative, and someone who just “gets it” without needing to be asked. I’m always happy to provide references and would love to connect to see if I’d be a good fit for your family!
