Find experienced babysitters in Parker, CO

I am a 54 year old retired and widowed Police Officer from the East Coast. I served for 23 years (8 of those in the SVU/Youth Division) and retired in Aug 2016 after I lost my husband. I now live in Parker. I have prior experience as a nanny for 4 years. My little charges were two infants, 2 toddlers, and one elementary school age girl. (All at the same time, still don’t know how I pulled that one off) I served in the military for 3 years then became a Police Officer in 1994. I’ve been a certified EMT since 1994 and even managed to help bring one child into the world. I am quite fond of caring for children from my previous experiences, whether it’s date night babysitting, mother’s helper if either parent is working from home and needs extra help keeping your child occupied without interruptions so you can focus on work. I’m a firm believer in love, and tons of cuddles with book time and laughter during play time. As Per individual parents wishes, I’d rather listen to laughing kids, using by age appropriate learning games, playing outside, getting dirty ( that’s what baths and washing machines are for) over using a TV for a babysitter per household day to day rules and norms. I am well versed in healthy meals for your child and can always prepare meals for the parents if they don’t have the time or energy at the end of the day. I’m fairly well versed with most cuisines depending on your family’s cravings, and dietary needs. If your kids are older and show an interest in cooking, I’d be delighted to teach them the basics and take a step back and see where their creativity takes them. It’s a fantastic way to boost confidence! I’m also available for travel in the event your child is young and the parents need some quiet time/childcare needs while traveling. (I have a US Passport in addition to an EU Passport as I have dual citizenship) I’m also available to keep a household running smoothly and handle every aspect of your child’s care needs for parents(s) who occasionally need to travel for work. I speak English, have a pretty laid back ( yet vigilant) demeanor, excellent communication skills. and a healthy sense of humor. I have a reliable and safe vehicle with an excellent driving record as well as have been an advanced BLS trained and extensively experienced Medical First Responder throughout my 24 year career in Law Enforcement. I look forward to hearing from you!

My name is Lauren! I am a 28 year old Colorado Native currently finishing my bachelor's degree in Journalism, and working at a Law Firm in Downtown Denver. I am very family oriented and have gained a copious amount of childcare skills working as a sitter and nanny throughout my teens and 20s. I am CPR certified, and have most recently been the part time nanny for a one year old boy. I am very creative and love to help kids express themselves through fun and engaging activities. I think some of my best qualities as a caretaker are my patience, nurturing demeanor, and my ability to maintain an upbeat energy level. I love emphasizing and incorporating activities that are immersive rather than focus on activities that revolve around a screen. I have worked for families with many differing life and healthstyles and can easily adapt to whatever expectations are needed by the family. I am very comfortable and experienced watching multiple children of all ages, however, I most consistently care for children the youngest age starting at 4 months-7 years. I am hoping to find a family who I can sit for on a regular basis primarily weekends, but have no problem working just a one time gig or a needed date night! Please reach out to me if you have any questions!! Thank you, Lauren

Hello, my name is Jacqueline. I am 39 years old and have over 15 years of experience working with children from newborn through age 12. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and my vaccinations are up to date. I have many years of experience supporting children in both home and school environments, working as a nanny, private tutor, teacher’s assistant, and lead teacher. My experience spans Montessori, public, and alternative school settings, as well as international work as a teacher’s assistant in Sweden and other childcare programs abroad. Most recently, I spent eight years as lead teacher at a small school in Austin, Texas which emphasized child-led learning, independence, and thoughtful observation, while supporting each child’s individual development within a structured and caring environment. I value reliability, clear communication, and enjoy creating calm spaces where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore their interests. Creativity, time outdoors, and attentiveness to each child’s needs are central to how I work with families. I am happy to provide my resume and letters of recommendation upon request. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to set up a call or meeting to see if this could be a good fit for your family. Thank you, Jacqueline

Hello ! I have a bachelor's degree in human development and a master’s in elementary education. I have experience babysitting children of all ages, from newborn to 13 years old. I enjoy reading with children, arts and crafts and outdoor activities!

Hi I’m Veronique! Looking forward to learning more about you and your family. :-) I have lots of diverse sitting experience with children. I was prepared for sitting early because of my experience at home. I grew up in a single parent home and helped care for my brother, who’s three years younger, and my sister who is 7 years younger than me. I started sitting for families throughout middle and high school, sometimes tutoring those children as well during my sitting sessions. From college and beyond, I have worked for many families and with children ranging from 3 months to 16 years old. I am completely comfortable with all ages of children and groups of up to 5 children at once. In addition to my experience and passion, flexibility makes me a great sitter. Currently, I run a business which allows me flexibility in my schedule. I am always willing to accommodate parents’ needs and schedules, I arrive on time, and I am willing to work long shifts or stay late as needed. I am a great cook and take pride in keeping homes as clean as possible. For every job, I always come prepared to be active, get on the floor, do indoor and outdoor activities, prepare needs, and tidy up. I love connecting with children and learning their personalities. I learn and adapt quickly to individual children, and really I just genuinely love caring for children. I find it truly energizing and enjoyable to sit for children. They are such great sources of joy and inspiration.

I am experienced with everything from newborn care, to aged 12. I love doing outdoor activities like walking to local parks, libraries, biking, play balls, and so forth. If the weather is not permitted, I love reading, making easy art projects and imaginative play! I clean up after children and myself and always leave the house as clean as possible! Thank you for reading my profile! Pimm

I have been a babysitter/nanny for the past seven years and have experience with children aged newborn-12. I have worked consistently with eight families and enjoy all ages. I love children and connect with them with ease. I enjoy playing with them and allowing them to learn and grow to become who they are. I believe that each child is unique and therefore require a unique experience no matter the developmental age. I currently work at Children’s Hospital in the Neonatal ICU as a Nursing assistant and will begin my job as a RN in August on their hematology/oncology floor.

Hi, I’m Tara! As a NICU nurse with experience in pediatric care, I am very passionate about working with children. I currently work at a children’s hospital, where I’ve gained a deep understanding of the unique needs and care requirements of kids of all ages. I also hold certifications in Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), ensuring I am prepared to respond confidently in any situation. 😇 Beyond my nursing career, I have extensive childcare experience. I spent several years as a summer camp counselor, where I supervised and guided groups of children in a safe and engaging environment. I also have experience as a trusted babysitter for local families, further strengthening my ability to balance fun with structure and safety. What sets me apart is my ability to create a nurturing, secure, and playful environment for children. Whether it’s playtime, bedtime routines, diaper changes, or anything in between, you can trust that your children are in capable and caring hands with me! I currently work full time as a nurse, so I’m best suited for occasional date night babysitting. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to connect!
