Hi there, I'm Sephra! Colorado resident of 2 years, originally from Arizona! Being raised in the foster system, I have experience in caring for children of all ages and situations. As live-in caregiver for my grandparents in their final years, I have the necessary experience for senior care, including those with health issues such as Alzheimer's and seizures. I am close with my 2 and 4 year old niece and nephew - I adore them very much and they love their "Auntie Sesa." I've worked in healthcare as a Medical Assistant for the past 10 years, with family practice and urgent care making up half of my career. I am great with children of various ages as well as senior folks, and can take action in an emergency as needed. I love fur children as well - I am mom to 2 kittens, Cheeto and Mochi, and have raised chameleons, snakes, and hedgehogs! I enjoy a good (or bad) dad joke, discuss fitness and nutrition, play creatively, and nerd- out on video games and pop culture. I look forward to taking care of your family! -Sephra
Hi! I'm currently a college student who recently stepped away from full-time work to focus on education, and I'm excited to find part-time work doing something meaningful—helping care for kids and pets. While I’m new to professional childcare, I’ve spent lots of time around babies and toddlers in my circle of family and friends, and I genuinely love being part of their world as they learn and grow. I’m especially close with my teenage cousin I’ve known since he was an infant. I'm also super comfortable helping out in a busy household! I'm used to managing the chaos that comes with two energetic Siberian huskies, so I'm no stranger to keeping things calm, organized, and running smoothly. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to lend a hand wherever needed. If you’re looking for someone responsible, patient, and truly invested in your child’s and or pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to connect!
Hi! My name is Olivia! I am a full time nanny looking for weeknight and weekend babysitting jobs! I am available Thursday & Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays and Sundays! I have several years of childcare experience. I worked for the YMCA teaching swim lessons for four summers. I have nannied for 5 different families with children ranging from 9 mo-8 years old. I have also worked at two different preschool facilities! I worked for the preschool and after school program, so I worked with babies as young as 6 weeks to kids as old as 12! Every job i've ever had has been childcare because it is work that I genuinely enjoy! I am CPR certified! I worked at a pool for years so I also have previous first aid training. I am COVID-19 vaccinated! I have reliable transportation and I am very reliable when it comes to showing up to work! If you have any questions about me or my experience feel free to ask! I can also provide a list of references if you would like! I look forward to hearing from you!
Hi my name is Debbie Wood, I would be interested in babysitting for you. I am retired and slightly handicapped but I would love to babysit. I worked for Avaya (Lucent, AT&T, Bell Labs and Western Electric) for 38 1/2 years. I am looking for ways to make a little extra money for a cruise I am taking next January. I am a Christian and attend Flatirons Community Church where I volunteer working with youth (12 - 18 years old at Open Door Ministry. Theses children live with their mom in a shelter or on the streets. Two other couples and I prepare a dinner meal and serve them. I'm retired from officiated soccer for 27 years and also was an Assessor and Instructor for United States Soccer Federation 30 years. I have worked with youth a very long time. I mentor a girl at risk with Save Our Youth, in the Denver area. I have been finger printed and had a back ground check to make sure I could be around kids..
Hello! As the oldest of seven children and full-time homeschool instructor to the youngest three, I have extensive hands-on childcare experience across various age ranges. I am also a full-time legal assistant for a federal agency and a graduate student in Geographic Information Systems and Criminology. What I bring to any household I work for is maturity, responsible decision-making, and creative problem-solving. My hobbies are watching true crime, NASCAR, the Denver Broncos, and the Colorado Avalanche!
