Hey there! π I'm Indigo. I've been caring for children of all ages & a variety of pets for over 15 years and I absolutely love it! π» Children are so incredible and it brings me so much joy to be around them. I also feel very connected to animals and nature. ππΆπ¦πΏπ§π½ππΏ I am super silly, playful & fun-loving and have a creative imagination that helps me play along with kids easily. Children tend to love me & my enthusiastic, playful and friendly presence. At the same time, I'm a very organized and responsible caregiver. I understand the importance of consistency & routine in children's development, and it's important to me to stick to the guidelines & rules provided by you, the parent(s). I'm a former environmental engineer who now works for herself as a graphic designer for health, wellness & eco-friendly brands, so I have inherent skills on both sides of the coin. πΌππͺπ«π¨ With me, you can trust that your little loved ones will be under safe, attentive and loving care while also having a lot of fun!
βWe feel very fortunate to have found Indigo for a recurring date night for our young children. Our kids love how kind and artistic she is, and we parents love how responsible and communicative she is. Look no further -- book her ASAP!β
Hi, I'm Leah! I am originally from New Jersey, but have lived all over, and am now currently a Kindergarten teacher here in the Denver area. I hold my masters of elementary education and have loved being able to take my passion for working with children and make a career out of it. I have over 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience, working with ages ~6 months to 13 years old. Most of my experience is with 4-6 year olds, but I am comfortable with all ages! I also have been a tutor for over 5 years for kids ages 5 learning letter sounds to 21 year olds learning economics! I'm an active person who loves the outdoors and can easily keep up with young kids on the move. As someone who teaches young children, I donβt mind getting messy, cleaning up, and turning everyday moments into fun, engaging learning experiences through play and exploration!
βLeah was a long term sitter for my boys when they were 4/5 and 6/7 years old before her move, and she was fantastic! My son is type 1 diabetic and Leah was so attentive with his medical needs. I never felt worried when they were with her. She was a fun and engaging babysitter and always followed our routine. We miss her and would love to use her again if sheβs back in AZ!β
Hi there! My name is Anastasia, I am 24 years old and a full time student at MSU denver. I no longer work full time with kids in the but I have past experience! I work full time for the State but am looking for side jobs to make extra money while I finish my last 2 semesters of college. I have experience with kids of all ages. I used to be a cheer coach for kids ages 3-12, I worked as a sitter at a gym daycare, and have done occasional tutoring as well. I am happy to help with all childcare needs including household chores, meal prepping, homework etc..
Hi my name is Niesha! I have a passion for working with children and started babysitting over 10 years ago! My experiences, creating a safe space, crafting unique activities, and being someone dependable encouraged me to pursue a career where I could support the youth. I am a provisional mental health therapist who specializes in children/adolescent therapy. I wanted to get back into baby sitting to support my community! I have experience working with children ages infant-adolescents. I spent years supporting families at my childhood daycare, helping families through babysitting sites, and local communities spots. During college, I spent a year being a full time nanny-in this role I was responsible for meals, basic clean up, prepping for kindergarten, and helping with light house work as needed. I also have experience pet sitting when families needed extra support! I believe in an active role of babysitting where children get to explore their interests whether thatβs through crafts, books, building blocks, or playing in the front yard! I hope to bring fun and support to your family:)
With a background as a previous certified facility dog handler, growing up with a family dog, and providing occasional care for friends' dogs and cats, I am confident in managing pets of various temperaments, sizes, and personalities! As an active individual working from home three days a week, I can offer flexible scheduling to accommodate midday potty breaks and walks. I am committed to providing personalized attention to meet your pet's individualized needs, whatever they may be! Side note: also am marathon training this summer if your dog needs a jog :)
