Hana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hana. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, including my role as a teacher lead at a licensed childcare center where I worked with children ranging from 6 weeks to 4–5 years old. I also babysat and nannied throughout high school and college, giving me experience with a wide variety of ages and family needs. I also became a mom in October to a beautiful baby girl, which has deepened my passion for childcare even more. I’m currently looking for weekend positions, part-time work, or occasional childcare opportunities. I’m reliable, nurturing, and experienced, and I love creating a safe and engaging environment for children. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you!

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!

Myjena $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Yani, I am 22 years old, I live near Denver CO, and I am currently in my second semester of Nursing School! I love love love all children and animals and am even considering Obstetrics or Peds for my nursing specialty! I currently do home caregiving and have 1 client who I help bathe, dress, feed, and care for. I have two girl nieces (5 & 8) who are my absolute best friends and when the time is right, I can’t wait to make a little league of my own! ✨ I am super flexible with my schedule (as long as college permits it of course) but I have all summer off and I am totally willing to try something new!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 40 families in Dacono, CO

Hi! My name is Julie and I live in Boulder County. I spent six months working as an Assistant Preschool Teacher at The Learning Experience in Westminster. I have experience working with children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. In June 2024, I graduated from a performing arts school in New York City. Each time I provided childcare, my ultimate goal is to meet each kid where they are at. I believe structure, compassion, and a nurturing environment are key. When I'm not caring for children, I am in the studio training and auditioning for dance productions and modeling jobs. My favorite style of dance is ballet! Thank you for considering me as your new babysitter. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Dacono, CO

Hello, my name is McKinzey and I have about 4.5 years nannying experience, with several years of childcare/babysitting experience as well and I was a preschool teacher for a time. I was also a professional birth and postpartum doula for nearly 6 years where I cared for many infants and toddlers. I will be starting graduate school in the fall to earn my Masters of Library and Information Science with a concentration in youth services, to hopefully one day become a children's librarian. So I would bring my love of reading and life long learning to the role! I would love to share more and answer any of your questions.

“McKinzey was fantastic with our 10-month old! We can’t wait to have her over again!”
