My name is Chimwemwe. Caring for children is not just what I do; it is who I am. With over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages and CPR and First Aid certification, I provide a safe, loving, joyful, and nurturing environment where every child feels seen, deeply loved, valued, and protected. I am honored to partner with families and look forward to bringing care, peace, and lasting value into your home.
I have experience house-sitting and pet-sitting. I can care for any plant and maintain household chores and necessities as needed. I have a wonderful cat and have had dogs in the past. I pride myself on being wonderful with animals. Besides the essentials of food/water/needs, I know each animal requires love, attention, and comfort while their favorite people are away!! I am open to watching children but do not have much experience at this time. I have proven to be a trustworthy person and have held many high-stakes jobs (such as an ambulance dispatcher), which has given me a large sense of accountability, responsibility, and dependability. I have a completely open schedule at this time, and I'm willing to work any hours needed.
Hi! My name is Harley, and I'm currently a Psychology and Criminology student at the University of Denver. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids and have been babysitting children of all ages since I was 13 years old. I'm now 21 and have years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing one-on-one support to children with developmental needs through play-based learning and skill building. I've also coached U4-U5 soccer and worked as an overnight camp counselor and lifeguard, giving me plenty of experience keeping kids engaged, safe, and having fun. In addition to childcare, I love animals and am happy to care for both dogs and cats. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, or keeping pets company while you're away, I'm comfortable with a variety of pet care needs. I can also help with household tasks, including light cleaning, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, and running errands. I'm patient, energetic, dependable, and committed to creating a safe, positive environment for children and pets alike. I look forward to helping make your family's day-to-day life a little easier!
Hi! My name is Lekha, and I’m a college student at the University of Denver studying psychology. I’ve always loved working with and caring for others, and I’m someone who is responsible, patient, dependable, and easy to get along with. I have a lot of experience working with children through babysitting as well as running summer camps, and helping care for younger family members. I am comfortable keeping kids entertained, helping with routines, preparing meals, and making sure they feel safe comfortable and happy. I also grew up around dogs and have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them lots of attention. I’m happy to help with light household tasks as well, such as tidying up, laundry, dishes, and keeping things organized. I’ve also worked in restaurants and event settings, which has taught me how to stay calm, organized, and responsible in busy situations. I’m very comfortable communicating with people and take my responsibilities seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and animals and want families to feel comfortable knowing their loved ones are in good hands!
My name is Sienna and I have been a nanny/sitter for the past 10+ years. I am 26 years old and graduated from the University of Denver, with a bachelor degree in marketing and a minor in psychology in 2022. I am CPR certified and have extensive experience working with all ages. I have a ton of references from families in CO as well as from my home town, Bend, OR. I have been working with kids since I can remember! I have 3 younger brothers in which I have been a huge help to my parents. Cleaning up around the house/ diapers/ cooking/baking with them, drawing, painting, going to the park and more. To me, babysitting/nannying is all about the bond I am fortunate enough to have with the kids I am taking care of. I want to feel comfortable within the family, have the kids feel super comfortable with me, and have respect both ways. I am huge on open communication. I would love to hear about your family and share more about me with you!
