Jillian $22 per hour for 1 child

I'm an experience-based educator who has been in child & senior care for over 10 years. My degree is in Early Education with a focus on infancy & developmental disabilities. Miss Fairy Poppins is a name a go by, "A wand full of bubbles makes the child calm down". I thrive to encourage those around me to have productive encounters with their environment. I believe in always demonstrating courtesies such as acceptance & active listening. When you take time to recognize and appreciate that which is around you; Life lessons can be found in countless teachable moments. While you are away, your family will feel secure having me care for all that you hold dear: Children, seniors, pets, houses, gardens, you name it. House and Garden sitting: I cared for multiple properties in Eagle County while I lived in Vail. I am also capable of lite house maintenance & cleaning. Pet Sitting: I enjoy and have cared for creatures of all types; Dogs (of any temperament), cats, reptiles, snakes, spiders .... "Just no elephants."

Katherine $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, there! My name is Katherine and, as the oldest of five girls, I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. My first experience with babysitting was for my mom—I would watch my little sisters while she ran errands. As I got older, I started babysitting for some of the families in my neighborhood and continued until I went away to college. In college, I nannied for a couple of different families. One of these families had seven children, ranging in age from 3 to 18. While I mostly spent time with the two little ones, I also chauffeured four of the older children around to their sports practices and various extracurricular activities. In addition to nannying, I also taught an after-school cooking and nutrition program to elementary school age children as part of an internship in college. After college, I moved to Spain to teach English and also tutored for several families on the side. Now, some of my friends and family members are starting to have children of their own and I am always happy to watch them if they have things to do or they just need a break. In addition to babysitting, I also have some pet sitting experience. While attending law school, I somehow found time to pet sit for my neighbors. I eventually decided to make a Rover profile and I have continued to book pet sitting jobs through the app. Additionally, I also adopted a cat. A little about me—I just moved to Denver from Washington, D.C. last July and I am absolutely loving everything about living here. During the week, I work as an attorney in downtown Denver, but I try to spend every weekend in the mountains. I got engaged this past July and I am planning a Summer 2026 wedding here in Colorado. I am hoping to supplement my income and pay for most of my wedding expenses on my own. I look forward to helping you with all of your caregiving needs!

Booked by 2 families in Commerce City, CO

I am a certified elementary school teacher, and a certified preschool lead teacher/director. I've taught in public school, private school, and homeschool (co-ops and my own children)! I've lived in Denver my whole life and know the city very well. I am a mother of 6 and live in Central Denver. I am creative, fun, reliable, responsible, and not easily fazed! I love children and understand the dynamics of a busy household and unexpected needs that might come up.

“Sara was AMAZING with our kiddos! My three year old daughter really struggles to go to bed and she got her down without too many tears. She was so kind to my six year old son who’s pretty sensitive too. She even brought her favorite kids book with her to share! Will definitely keep her in rotation for our date nights. 🥰”

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.
