Allison $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a pediatric dental assistant with a strong passion for working with children and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. Before working in dentistry, I worked at a special needs office for children, where I gained valuable experience supporting kids with different needs and personalities. I also have a lot of personal experience caring for children. I have an eight-year-old brother who I’ve helped care for throughout his life, and my husband’s parents recently welcomed a baby boy who is now four months old. I spend a lot of time with him and truly enjoy being around children of all ages. I am patient, caring, dependable, and love creating a safe and positive environment for kids to learn, grow, and feel supported.

Beth $12 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Idledale, CO

Hi there! My name is Beth, and first of all, I am a Christian, and a follower of Jesus Christ. God has always been so, so good to me!!! I have a two year old grandson, and I ADORE him! I get to babysit him with my former husband usually on Thursdays. His name is Wren and he is AWESOME! He brings me such joy!!! His mom, is my precious daughter, Sammie, who is forty. Nick is her sweet husband, and boy, they love that little fella! They are all so happy, and I get a kick out of watching them parent Wren. I also have a wonderful son, Joey, who is 37. He is engaged to a gal named Bree. I haven’t heard of a wedding day, yet. I grew up in Jackson, MS. My dad and mom had a weekly newspaper, and all five of us children, worked at it for years. Working for my parents gave me my strong work ethic. I have worked at both General and Pediatric dental offices, at law firms, and in healthcare for the past few years, taking care of the elderly. I can drive to appointments, do some housework, cook, and I am a great listener.

Rachel $20 per hour for 1 child

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!
