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!
I have seventeen years of experience working with children. I have worked in daycares, babysat children at my house and worked as a nanny. I have one more year left of school and I will have my degree in ECE . I like doing crafts with kids and reading to them. I am CPR certified. I have worked with ages: infant to thirteen years.
I’m Julia, I’m 22 and have been working with children since I was 12. I currently work at a daycare with the 6 weeks- 18 month olds. I love going on walks, going to the park, or just hanging out outside.
Hi - My name is Hilda Reliable and responsible babysitter, CPR certified and currently a CNA student. I am bilingual (Spanish/English) and have my own transportation. I specialize in caring for children 3 years and older, including playtime, meals, and bedtime routines. I’m patient, organized, and focused on safety at all times. Available evenings (after 5 pm) and weekends. I can also help with light housekeeping and keeping routines consistent for your child.
