Hi! My name is Caitlyn! I am 19 and a college student, studying nursing. I am offering child care, pet care, and household care. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have been babysitting since I was 12 for ages 2-12. I have also taught Sunday school/babysitting during church for ages from newborn to 11 years for the past 2 years now. Growing up I had a dog and two cats whom I have taken full care of. I know how to preform basic household chores along with running errands. I often do both of those to help my mom out. I truly love being around kids and just having a good time!
“The best sitter ever she handled Alexander with so much care and made sure he was active and playing the entire time! ”
Adelaide $17 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I’m Addie and I’m current a nanny with 15+ years of experience with all age groups. Currently I take care of an (almost!) 2 year old, 3 year old, and 5 year old. In addition to childcare, I also am a house manager and do laundry and meal preparation. I have personal experience with people with disabilities, as I have an Aunt who is disabled and been very close with my entire life. I love being in the chaos and adding a helping hand where I’m needed!
Hana $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Hana. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, including my role as a teacher lead at a licensed childcare center where I worked with children ranging from 6 weeks to 4–5 years old. I also babysat and nannied throughout high school and college, giving me experience with a wide variety of ages and family needs. I also became a mom in October to a beautiful baby girl, which has deepened my passion for childcare even more. I’m currently looking for weekend positions, part-time work, or occasional childcare opportunities. I’m reliable, nurturing, and experienced, and I love creating a safe and engaging environment for children. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you!

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!
