Hi there, my name is Lindsay! With a compassionate heart and a wealth of experience, I am dedicated to providing attentive, nurturing, and engaging care for children of all ages. My background in babysitting, volunteering with the Englewood school district, and working with a nonprofit that supports kids with different learning styles has given me a deep understanding of how to foster confidence and social skills in young minds. As a medical professional and current nursing student, I am well-versed in safety and well-being, holding a Basic Life Support (BLS) certification from the American Heart Association. Whether it’s ensuring a child's health and safety or creating a fun, enriching environment, I bring both knowledge and warmth to my caregiving approach. Beyond my professional skills, I have a natural ability to connect with children through music, creativity, and play, keeping them active and engaged in ways that make learning fun. As a step-parent and experienced caregiver, I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and a nurturing presence in a child’s life. Additionally, my love for animals means I’m comfortable in pet-friendly homes, ensuring that both little ones and furry family members receive the care and attention they deserve. With my experience, empathy, and dedication, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and joyful environment for every child in my care.
“Lindsay was so sweet and wonderful with our kids! She was very communicative, prompt, cleaned up after dinner, and overall very reliable. Our kids asked if she could come back again!”
Hello! My name is Sarah and I live in Arvada, I am looking for last minute nanny, part time any position! I was a Sunday school teacher in highschool and babysat 2 girls ages 2-6 for the summer!
“Sarah was great with my two kids. She’s warm, friendly and engaging! My daughter was so sad that she left, so we will definitely have her back! ”
“We have hired Jenny several times now and each time she is responsive, reliable, eager to learn about our kids (ages 8 & 9), and find ways to connect with them. She is easy going, willing to meet the needs we express or go with the flow when we don't have much specific instructions. We feel at ease when we are away and our boys are really enjoying getting to know her and they really appreciate having someone play the active stuff they like to do.”
Hi - My name is Sydney. I am offering child and dog care. I am recent graduate from Loyola University Maryland. I obtained my B.S. in Data Science with a minor in Mathematics and a micro-credential in Information Systems. I completed my degree in 3.5 years. Being born and raised in CO, I went to high school at St. Mary's Academy. I taught ballet to 3-6 years during high school. I worked at RAWK Denver Dance, which did not make it through COVID and MOVE! Arts and Dance Space. I enjoyed getting to teach children because their perspective on the world is refreshing.
Hello, my name is Jackie, 28 years old. I am currently a graduate student at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology-Online Campus, studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I graduated from Purdue University in 2018, with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences. I have over four years of experience as a nanny, and 1 year of experience as a pre-school teacher. I have worked with children between the ages of 3-16 years old. I simply love children and enjoy helping them learn and grow at every stage of their young lives. My strengths as a nanny are that I am very responsible, reliable, caring, and energetic!
