Hi! I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs while studying at the University of Denver. I love kids and have experience as a summer nanny as well as helping with a church Sunday school. I love arts and crafts. I am a good baker and cook. I have a car and I am willing to drive kids around and run errands. I can’t wait to get to know you and your kid(s)!
“Great!”
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!
Hi my name is Zaveah! I am a stay at home mother with a babygirl(14 months) looking to work with other families offering both childcare and household services. I am a caring, responsible, and patient childcare provider who genuinely enjoys helping children learn and grow. With experience supporting students in a school setting and managing a structured home environment, I understand the importance of safety, routine, and positive guidance. I strive to create a nurturing space where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves.
Hello everyone! My name is Kelli. I am an infant-toddler specialist/childcare professional with extensive childcare training. -I am a full-time licensed home daycare provider/owner, specializing in infant-toddler care. :) This is my job 40+ hours per week. -I am currently looking for weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) babysitting jobs at the moment. -I am infant, child & adult CPR, AED, and Basic First Aid Certified. -I am lead infant teacher and lead toddler teacher qualified & have done both, working in two different early childhood learning centers (besides my own). -I also have my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Denver (graduated in June 2024). I'd describe my personality as patient, calm, and kind. I like working with kids because I love seeing them learn (& they teach me so many things too!). One thing you should know about me is I am a gentle and sensitive person, which is why I work well with children.
“Kelli was very thorough and asked questions to better understand our schedule and our kids’ needs. She is very sweet and our kids loved her! ”
