Brianna $20 per hour for 1 child

I have experience house-sitting and pet-sitting. I can care for any plant and maintain household chores and necessities as needed. I have a wonderful cat and have had dogs in the past. I pride myself on being wonderful with animals. Besides the essentials of food/water/needs, I know each animal requires love, attention, and comfort while their favorite people are away!! I am open to watching children but do not have much experience at this time. I have proven to be a trustworthy person and have held many high-stakes jobs (such as an ambulance dispatcher), which has given me a large sense of accountability, responsibility, and dependability. I have a completely open schedule at this time, and I'm willing to work any hours needed.

I live in an apartment downtown with a cat and dog. Willing to pet sit most dogs as long as they get along with my current pets. Can only handle three dogs total including my dog.

Leah 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Leah! I am originally from New Jersey, but have lived all over, and am now currently a Kindergarten teacher here in the Denver area. I hold my masters of elementary education and have loved being able to take my passion for working with children and make a career out of it. I have over 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience, working with ages ~6 months to 13 years old. Most of my experience is with 4-6 year olds, but I am comfortable with all ages! I also have been a tutor for over 5 years for kids ages 5 learning letter sounds to 21 year olds learning economics! I'm an active person who loves the outdoors and can easily keep up with young kids on the move. As someone who teaches young children, I don’t mind getting messy, cleaning up, and turning everyday moments into fun, engaging learning experiences through play and exploration!

“Leah was a long term sitter for my boys when they were 4/5 and 6/7 years old before her move, and she was fantastic! My son is type 1 diabetic and Leah was so attentive with his medical needs. I never felt worried when they were with her. She was a fun and engaging babysitter and always followed our routine. We miss her and would love to use her again if she’s back in AZ!”

Booked by 2 families in Westminster, CO

I am a certified elementary school teacher, and a certified preschool lead teacher/director. I've taught in public school, private school, and homeschool (co-ops and my own children)! I've lived in Denver my whole life and know the city very well. I am a mother of 6 and live in Central Denver. I am creative, fun, reliable, responsible, and not easily fazed! I love children and understand the dynamics of a busy household and unexpected needs that might come up.

“Sara was AMAZING with our kiddos! My three year old daughter really struggles to go to bed and she got her down without too many tears. She was so kind to my six year old son who’s pretty sensitive too. She even brought her favorite kids book with her to share! Will definitely keep her in rotation for our date nights. 🥰”
