Veronica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Veronica, and I am currently in the process of getting my certification for substitute teaching. I am offering child care, senior car, animal care, and household services. I love kids, and have four nieces and nephews that I have adored watching and helping grow up. I have extensive experience watch infants, toddlers, and children. I have worked with seniors in the past, but not at the same regularity as children. I am happy to provide rides, entertainment, cooking, and baking. What is not listed among the groups are adults and children with intellectual disabilities. I worked as social worker with folks who have disabilities for eight years. Most of that time was with adults, but I have also worked with children. My pricing for folks with disabilities is negotiable, but will usually be higher depending on the needs of the individual. I am experienced in and happy to provide household services. Including cleaning, running errands, and cooking. I confess that I am no master chef, but I can cook decent simple food. My baking skills are exceptional. I am an animal lover, and am happy to look after any animals that aren't scorpions, spiders, you get the idea. I do not mind working with snakes.

Megan $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Megan! I graduated from CU Denver in 2021 and I love playing with kids! I have always loved spending time with kids of all ages and happily began babysitting at a young age. I also spent many hours volunteering with children at my church. Since those early years, I have been the occasional babysitter, the long-term nanny, and worked in childcare at a business. I'm looking to find a new nanny position as the children I have been caring for most recently are aging out of needing my help. I am very child-led when it comes to play and exploration, giving little ones a chance to control a bit of their world and dictate the things that interest them the most. But I also do my best to set a structure and routine to the day, with expectations for what will be occurring at different times, to give the children a sense of stability. One of my favorite things to do with kids is play pretend. I love helping them learn about their world and help them explore and use their imaginations. I can help with some small chores like fixing meals for kids, dishes, and some laundry but I prefer to mainly do childcare. I'm very comfortable with pets but I am mildly allergic to fur.

Kayla $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kayla and I'm currently a toddler teacher at a preschool. I work with young toddlers ages 1-2 and have over a year of experience doing so. I am looking forward to being able to work with smaller groups of children in order to provide the one on one care that they need. I like to take a conscious discipline approach to childcare and really value play based learning with lots of enriching activities. I also love animals and am happy to work for families with pets!

Ariana $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Ari! I'm a patient, thoughtful, and dependable caregiver who is passionate about creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive. I am currently pursuing my Master's in Social Work with my bachelor's in Psychology. I also work part-time at a memory care facility, where I've spent the past year supporting vulnerable elderly with compassion, patience, and attention to their individual needs. I have more than five years of childcare experience caring for children from 2 months old through the preteen years, and I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I believe in meeting each child where they are developmentally while encouraging kindness, curiosity, confidence, and emotional growth through positive interactions and engaging activities. Safety is always my top priority, and I deeply value respecting each family's routines, parenting preferences, and expectations. I believe that honest, open communication builds trust and helps create the best experience for both parents and children. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that gives parents peace of mind while creating a fun, supportive environment where children feel valued and encouraged.

Matthew $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm currently a college student who recently stepped away from full-time work to focus on education, and I'm excited to find part-time work doing something meaningful—helping care for kids and pets. While I’m new to professional childcare, I’ve spent lots of time around babies and toddlers in my circle of family and friends, and I genuinely love being part of their world as they learn and grow. I’m especially close with my teenage cousin I’ve known since he was an infant. I'm also super comfortable helping out in a busy household! I'm used to managing the chaos that comes with two energetic Siberian huskies, so I'm no stranger to keeping things calm, organized, and running smoothly. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to lend a hand wherever needed. If you’re looking for someone responsible, patient, and truly invested in your child’s and or pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to connect!
