I am a 27 year old nurse, colorado native. I work full time in the ICU but I am looking for a little side gig that’s lower stress where I can take care of children or pets. I have been a nurse for 2 years and I was a CNA for 6 years working primarily with geriatric population. However, when I was 19-20 I did work with young children in a Head Start job. I also have experience caring for children within my family ages new born-5 years old.
“Ariana was a awesome sitter. I needed a sitter very last minute and she was able to help out. She was amazing with my 2 month old daughter. My daughter loved her!! I would recommend her 1,000 times over and will definitely hire her again when I need a sitter. ☺️ ”

Hi families! I’m Natty from Thailand. When I lived in Thailand I was teacher assistant almost 2 years at bilingual school and English institute. And I have first aids certificate. Currently working in the U.S. with over 1 year of childcare experience. I’ve taken care of children from infants to school-age and have experience supervising multiple kids at once. I’m warm, creative, and always make sure the children feel safe and happy while learning through play. I’d be happy to bring that same care and energy to your family!
“Natty did a fantastic job with my daughter! She was so friendly and my daughter loved her. I left with a happy kid and returned with a happy kid! Absolutely recommend! ”

Audrey $17 per hour for 1 child
I come from a household that has 2 younger siblings. My sister is 7 years old and my brother is 4. My qualifications would be that I have never professionally babysat but I have been taking care of my siblings since my sister was born. I have a lot of experience with children who are not my siblings as well. I am very patient and understanding. I have experience in household upkeep such as cleaning, cooking, and anything that would be considered as upkeep. I love working with kids because it allows me to see how different every child is.
