I love animals and care about their comfort and feelings. I have sat for dogs, cats, chickens, and indoor birds. I'm very attentive to medical needs, appreciate clear instructions, and keep pets out of harm's way.

Hi there, I’m Logan! I’m 22 years old and I’ve been an aunt for 12 years now. I often babysit my nieces and nephews (usually three at once, ages 6, 9 and 12). In my free time I enjoy crafting, reading, playing video games and watching movies. I love to cook, get outside and learn as much as I can. I get along well with most kiddos (and furry friends) and we always have so much fun! I have a Shih Tzu named Neville and a Sphynx cat named Calcifer! Aside from childcare, I have worked in ski shops/winter sports every year since I was 14. I am a scientifically passionate student at UCCS, am currently enrolled in the Biology program full time and I currently hold my Associate of Science degree from PPSC. I can’t wait to meet your littles!

Audrey $17 per hour for 1 child

I come from a household that has 2 younger siblings. My sister is 7 years old and my brother is 4. My qualifications would be that I have never professionally babysat but I have been taking care of my siblings since my sister was born. I have a lot of experience with children who are not my siblings as well. I am very patient and understanding. I have experience in household upkeep such as cleaning, cooking, and anything that would be considered as upkeep. I love working with kids because it allows me to see how different every child is.
