I am a 20 yr old gal freshly moved back to the area. I’ve lived in Colorado for about 10 years and am moving back after living in South Dakota for a few years! It feels good to be back and I am looking for work. I have a passion for caregiving of all kinds. So, I offer childcare services, pet sitting, house sitting (plant sitting) and basic chores/errands. Whatever is needed. have experience with kiddos ages 0-5 yrs. I worked at a daycare as a lead teacher for 3 years. Baking, science experiments, outdoor exploration and activities, as well as arts and crafts are my specialty. I can get down with whatever craft activities are being wanted done! If I am mixing child and animal care the price will increase slightly, so just ask if you have any questions:) I love animals of all kinds, cats dogs, farm animals and I have a little experience with reptiles as well. I can walk, play, cuddle and feed your pets however much needed. Sometimes they just need a buddy to hang with and I can do that! I also have experience in professional housekeeping keeping (used to clean out cabins and air bnbs) for a summer and a half, love cleaning very much! I’m very good at following instructions and getting done whatever is needed to the best of my ability. Willing to drive distance as well! I’m a bubbly/shy person who can meet the vibe just about anywhere, so if you’re chatty I will be right there with you, if you’re more low-key then that is totally fine as well. Just let me know!

Anna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Anna, and I am a 22 year old originally from Fort Collins. I am currently a student at CU Boulder but I have pretty flexible hours outside of class. My work experience includes babysitting, nursery work, after school childcare programs, and providing therapy to autistic children. I have experience with a variety of abilities and disabilities. I am a Registered Behavioral Technician and have taken courses in emergency first aid. I have the most experience with children ages 8 and under, but am open to all ages of kids. I am an experienced pet-sitter, but do have a mild allergy to cats. I am very organized and detail-oriented, ensuring any routines or rules are followed while making things fun!

Hi Family! My name is Bailey and I come with an extensive amount of childcare experience with all ages. With over two decades of experience, one of my favorite things in life is to spend time with children and help them learn. My all time favorite role though is being an auntie to my 5 nieces and nephews. I went to college for Intercultural Studies and Elementary Education and have my teaching credential. I started babysitting at a very young age (10 years old to be exact- different times!) and gathered extensive and vast experience throughout the years including full-time nannying, teaching, sports camps, church nurseries, Special Olympics, summer programs, and a dip into baby consulting. The ages I have worked with span from newborn (out of the hospital) to 15 years old (basically just a glorified Uber driver for one family :) ). Since I have worked with so many age groups, I would love to work and watch any child of any age. I love to have fun, be silly, be creative and play with the children. At the same time, I have good discipline and patience for children when needed. I am very respectful of what the parents want for their children and how they parent them. Since I went to school for teaching, I have taken some child development classes and I love putting what I learned into practice! I was a competitive swimmer for 15 years year round and would love to take children swimming if that is something you wanted. I also have been CPR/First Aid certified countless times and was once lifeguard certified and trained. I have a car and would love to run any errands or take the children anywhere. I am very experienced with driving and am an extremely safe driver. I do not mind doing light housework or fixing the children meals, and also pets are not a problem for me. My hours are flexible as well. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank You, Bailey

Booked by 56 families in Lyons, CO

Hi there! 👋🏻 I’m a Registered Nurse and have over a decade of hands-on nanny experience, currently available for occasional babysitting. With my background in nursing and psychology, I provide attentive, safety-focused care while creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities - all while having fun! 😊 I graduated in 2017 from the University of Vermont with a BA in Psychology and minor in Nutrition and most recently in 2025 with a BS in Nursing. I’ve worked clinical and non-clinical roles with children including roles as a Wellness Coach, live in au-pair, and counselor.

“Marley was wonderful. She connected with our 4-year-old right away - which is no small feat, as she can be a bit slow to warm up to new faces. Marley was punctual, helpful around the house, and just genuinely lovely to have around. We would absolutely welcome her back anytime.”
