Hello my name is Rachel and I have over 15 years of experience working with children ages 5 months to 17 years. I have been both a full-time nanny and date night sitter, as well as a private tutor. I also have experience working as a teacher's aide in a preschool. I have two college degrees: One in Child Development and Education, and one in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I am very honest, dependent, trustworthy, and kind. I pride myself in delivering excellent one-on-one care and thoroughly enjoy working with children. I also like to encourage active and imaginative play over screen time.
“Rachel cared for our 7-month-old for three full workdays while daycare was closed. She did a wonderful job with naps, feedings, and interactive play during his wake windows. We would happily use her again!”

I am a 27 year old nurse, colorado native. I work full time in the ICU but I am looking for a little side gig that’s lower stress where I can take care of children or pets. I have been a nurse for 2 years and I was a CNA for 6 years working primarily with geriatric population. However, when I was 19-20 I did work with young children in a Head Start job. I also have experience caring for children within my family ages new born-5 years old.
“Ariana was a awesome sitter. I needed a sitter very last minute and she was able to help out. She was amazing with my 2 month old daughter. My daughter loved her!! I would recommend her 1,000 times over and will definitely hire her again when I need a sitter. ☺️ ”

Hi families! I’m Natty from Thailand. When I lived in Thailand I was teacher assistant almost 2 years at bilingual school and English institute. And I have first aids certificate. Currently working in the U.S. with over 1 year of childcare experience. I’ve taken care of children from infants to school-age and have experience supervising multiple kids at once. I’m warm, creative, and always make sure the children feel safe and happy while learning through play. I’d be happy to bring that same care and energy to your family!
“Natty did a fantastic job with my daughter! She was so friendly and my daughter loved her. I left with a happy kid and returned with a happy kid! Absolutely recommend! ”
