Hi there! My name is Marina and I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs for a little extra cash! Originally from California, I recently moved to Denver to be closer to family and to work in the field I am passionate about, forensic psychology. My other interests include reading good books, hiking in rainy weather, and trying new restaurants! I have been babysitting for about 15 years now, having started in junior high school babysitting for family members and friends. I have experience caring for toddlers, elementary school-aged children and adolescents. I am punctual, respectful and responsible, and I assure you that if I am babysitting for you, your child is in great hands! I like to have fun and be silly, while also setting limits and ensuring your child's safety. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I am available weeknights and weekends, especially in the evening. Thank you!

Hii! I’m Jasmine. I’m 28 years old and some would call me the child whisperer. I worked for preschools with all ages from 2[removed] and babysat in my time off as well. From 2020-2024 I was a registered behavioral therapist working with kids that range from 2-10 years old. I have now split time as a middle school special education paraprofessional between APS & LPS since 2024. Kids have been my passion since high school, they give me such a spark that I never get tired of. While my main focus is child care I don’t mind a few pet favors here and there, I love dogs! I also don’t mind a little cleaning around the house. I mostly do this because I believe all parents deserve a fun night out! Enough of the chit chat though, hit me up anytime if you would like to get to know me better and I hope to hear from you soon!

I strive to create a nurturing space where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves.
