Find a last-minute babysitter in Fort Collins, CO

Hi there! I’m someone who genuinely loves both animals and kids, and I bring a calm, steady presence into homes that many pets and children naturally respond to. Animals have been part of my life for years. I currently have two cats and a dog, and I’ve spent a lot of time reading about breeds, training, and animal behavior simply because I enjoy understanding how they think and what helps them feel safe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes—including very large breeds—and have experience with many types such as Aussies, cattle dogs, Bernese Mountain Dogs, St. Bernards, Shibas, doodles, bichons, and westies. I’m happy doing dog walking, drop-ins, overnight pet sitting, house sitting, and long walks or hikes. I also have plenty of experience caring for multiple pets at once and am comfortable with cats of all personalities. People often tell me their pets relax quickly around me, especially animals that tend to be anxious or sensitive. I’m naturally attentive to their cues and enjoy creating a calm environment where they feel secure and cared for. I also truly enjoy spending time with children. I have many years of experience working with youth through mentoring, programs, and babysitting. I especially love caring for infants and toddlers, and I connect well with middle schoolers and teens too. My style with kids is calm, patient, and grounded. I’m comfortable supporting emotional moments, helping with homework, spending time outdoors, cooking simple meals, and keeping routines running smoothly. Families often describe me as dependable, thoughtful, and easy to trust with both their kids and their pets. I treat every home with respect and care, and I always aim to leave things feeling peaceful and well cared for.

Hi there, I'm Sephra! Colorado resident of 2 years, originally from Arizona! Being raised in the foster system, I have experience in caring for children of all ages and situations. As live-in caregiver for my grandparents in their final years, I have the necessary experience for senior care, including those with health issues such as Alzheimer's and seizures. I am close with my 2 and 4 year old niece and nephew - I adore them very much and they love their "Auntie Sesa." I've worked in healthcare as a Medical Assistant for the past 10 years, with family practice and urgent care making up half of my career. I am great with children of various ages as well as senior folks, and can take action in an emergency as needed. I love fur children as well - I am mom to 2 kittens, Cheeto and Mochi, and have raised chameleons, snakes, and hedgehogs! I enjoy a good (or bad) dad joke, discuss fitness and nutrition, play creatively, and nerd- out on video games and pop culture. I look forward to taking care of your family! -Sephra

Hello families! My name is Emily. I am originally from Texas, and here's a bit about my time in childcare! I began babysitting for families in my neighborhood at 12. In high school, I started a nanny-share group for middle school teachers, where a friend and I would pick up 15-20 elementary students and supervise them until their parents finished teaching. I started nannying for two families when I got my driver's license. I would pick up the kids from school and spend the evenings helping them with homework. Over the summers, I would nanny all day, and occasionally, in the evenings, I enjoyed taking the kids to the park, zoo, and museums. Kids need to get out of the house sometimes. When I started college, I realized how much I missed working with children. To reconnect, I took a student assistant position at the Child Development Research Center on campus, where I worked with kids from 3 weeks to 5 years old. I spent my first year in the infant class and then rotated between toddler and preschool classes for my second year. Although I had to leave due to scheduling conflicts, I continued to babysit and nanny for the families I had met there. Now, I have some other fun facts about myself! After I graduated, I went to Walt Disney World, where I participated in the Disney College Program. I am the biggest Disney fan, and I loved my time there. After my program ended, I moved to Loveland, Colorado, to live with my brother. I am learning to like the snow and love the mountain views; the weather is much nicer here than in Texas. I enjoy coloring and reading during my relaxation time. I also like cooking and baking. I am very open and honest and like to maintain good communication.
