Hello! My name is Emma, and I’m from Chicago. My first language is English, but I’m also fluent in Italian. I have 3 years of experience working with children ages 1–13. Over the years, I’ve also gained experience with all types of animals, from dogs and cats to ferrets and snakes. In addition to childcare, I can cook, run errands, and handle other household tasks. I have a valid driver’s license and a car which is registered and insured to me.

Otto $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi. I’m a college student at Colorado State University and I’m looking forward to helping families with their childcare needs. I’m responsible, dependable, and enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. I have a lot of experience being around children through my own family. I have a younger sister who is seven years younger than me, so I’ve had years of experience helping with a younger child, keeping her entertained, and being someone she can count on. I’m comfortable playing games, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and keeping kids active and engaged. As a college student, I’ve also developed strong time-management and organizational skills, and I understand the importance of being punctual and dependable. I’m happy to follow a family’s routines and expectations and want parents to feel comfortable knowing their kids are in good hands. I have played sports since a very young age and love to be active - especially basketball that I played last year in college. I have my own car and am able to drive myself to and from your home. I’m friendly, patient, and easygoing, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family.

I have worked with kids for a few years now. I have worked as a tutor, a daycare worker, and currently I work at a recreation center in Loveland. I also currently mentor a 9-year-old kid in school. I am very passionate about childcare and plan to become an elementary school teacher. So, more childcare experience would greatly help!

Booked by 1 family in Laporte, CO

I'm passionate about supporting families and providing reliable childcare. My ten years of experience have allowed me to develop my skills and knowledge in early child development. I'm patient, calm, and creative, and I love playing games with children, from educational games to outdoor sports. Whether it's through verbal communication or the parents' preferred method, I keep open lines of communication. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm happy to help with cooking, meal prep, carpooling, travel, crafts, and supervising swimming. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and have completed coursework in early child development. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid. I'm confident I can provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for your children.

Saisha 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

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.

“Saisha is a compassionate, kind, joyful human! She has a wonderful ability to connect with animals and humans of all ages, alike. She is responsible, reliable, and a delight to be around! I fully recommend her as a care giver and trust her with my family and home.”
