Emery $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Littleton, CO

My name is Emery, and working with kids is my passion! I’m currently in school part time at MSU perusing my degree in Early Childhood Education, but for the past year I have been working at a child care center downtown! I love creating a trusting, fun, and inclusive environment for kids to be themselves while also following their routine! I have worked with kids since I was 12, both in babysitting and in multiple formal childcare settings. I have worked with kids ages 0-12 and am fully trained and comfortable working with any age group. I have also been a professional nanny for the past 2+ years, including cooking/cleaning, pet care, transporting the kids, and overnights.

Harley $23 per hour for 1 child

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!

Lekha $25 per hour for 1 child

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!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Littleton, CO

Hi, I'm Sarah! With more than 35 years of childcare experience, caring for children has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I'm the proud mom of 5, grandma of 7, a former licensed in-home childcare provider, and have worked as a lead teacher, recreation center childcare provider, and long-term nanny. My goal is simple—to provide nurturing, fun, and safe care where children feel loved and included.

“We had such a great experience with Sarah! She was available last minute and so flexible and accommodating with our changing plans. It was clear she has tons of experience with kids, and our little one absolutely loved spending time with her. We would happily book her again and highly recommend her!”

$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Littleton, CO

Hi there, my name is Lindsay! With a compassionate heart and a wealth of experience, I am dedicated to providing attentive, nurturing, and engaging care for children of all ages. My background in babysitting, volunteering with the Englewood school district, and working with a nonprofit that supports kids with different learning styles has given me a deep understanding of how to foster confidence and social skills in young minds. As a medical professional and current nursing student, I am well-versed in safety and well-being, holding a Basic Life Support (BLS) certification from the American Heart Association. Whether it’s ensuring a child's health and safety or creating a fun, enriching environment, I bring both knowledge and warmth to my caregiving approach. Beyond my professional skills, I have a natural ability to connect with children through music, creativity, and play, keeping them active and engaged in ways that make learning fun. As a step-parent and experienced caregiver, I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and a nurturing presence in a child’s life. Additionally, my love for animals means I’m comfortable in pet-friendly homes, ensuring that both little ones and furry family members receive the care and attention they deserve. With my experience, empathy, and dedication, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and joyful environment for every child in my care.

“Lindsay was so sweet and wonderful with our kids! She was very communicative, prompt, cleaned up after dinner, and overall very reliable. Our kids asked if she could come back again!”
