Hi there! I’m Mckenna , and I recently relocated to the Denver area after graduating from the University of Kentucky (Go Cats!). Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, I grew up babysitting my younger sister and the children of close family friends, and I continued nannying throughout college. With experience caring for kids of all ages, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and finding fun, engaging activities to do together. I'm flexible with hours and happy to help with transportation when needed. I look forward to connecting and learning more about your family!
Hello families, I am currently a part time college student looking for some extra work. I’m also a certified level 2 ECT teacher working at foundations early childhood education. I have experience working with children 6 weeks - 10 years. Not only that but I also have a deep love for all different types of animals.
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.
Hi, I'm Sarah! With more than 35 years of childcare experience, caring for children has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I'm the proud mom of 5, grandma of 7, a former licensed in-home childcare provider, and have worked as a lead teacher, recreation center childcare provider, and long-term nanny. My goal is simple—to provide nurturing, fun, and safe care where children feel loved and included.
“We had such a great experience with Sarah! She was available last minute and so flexible and accommodating with our changing plans. It was clear she has tons of experience with kids, and our little one absolutely loved spending time with her. We would happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
Hi! My name is Rachel. I'm 22 years old. A little about me, I love to read and write. Any forms of art, music, film, literature, and painting. I take so much joy in. I always enjoy going out on a hike or just being outside with nature. I often spend a lot of time trying to be grounded.🌞 I am passionate about childcare. I would love to be your next babysitter/nanny! In 2024, I gained 4+ months of experience, in being the primary caregiver for my 6-month-old niece. My current part time job revolves around childcare as well. I teach basic ballet to toddlers ranging from ages 1-5 years old. I manage classes up to 10 kids. Caring for my niece is where I found my love for young developing minds. My Child Care Experience + Love: I’m very comfortable caring for babies and young children. My main experience lies in toddler age 2-5 years old. I am open to older. My experience includes diaper changing, bottle feeding, introducing baby food/feeding baby food, and maintaining consistent nap and bedtime routines. I as well have experience in interactive playtime, positive reinforcement, positive redirection, and managing normal toddler behaviors. I understand how important it is to create a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for any baby, child, and person. I enjoy spending quality time with children. Whether it's playtime, chill time, or learning together. With my niece, I regularly engaged in interactive play with toys, sensory activities, books, and age-appropriate educational TV. As well as more lowkey activities. With my toddler classes we actively engage in physical activity, learning new social/communication skills, and overall general connections to each other. I try to focus on helping children stay engaged, happy, safe, and comfortable. In addition to childcare, I can handle general household tasks related to the child, such as cleaning up messes, organizing items, and maintaining a tidy environment for everyone. I’m attentive to needs, patient, and always open to any change. I’m dedicated, and passionate, and genuinely enjoy caring for children. I absolutely love my current job and want to expand my own understanding. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, positive environment for your baby!🩷 Thank you!
