I have been a mother of two children and raised them to be solid citizens of this country and established a work ethic that I deemed important in the development of other family’s children. I have love and compassion for these children which my references will fully vouch for. It is my desire to teach, coach, and train them, giving my heart and soul to further expand these children’s hopes and dreams! I realize my responsibility to be more than just a “sitter” because I am an extension of the family and thus, take great care in their nurturing and education.

We could not have asked for a better sitter on our trip out to Colorado than Valerie! We were in town for a wedding, and Valerie was able to watch our 21 month old daughter both Friday night for the rehearsal dinner and Saturday evening for the wedding. Communication was great, with a phone call several weeks in advance, and then good follow-ups and confirmations leading up to the weekend. Our daughter did not make things easy at the start of either night (she had some separation anxiety with us leaving), but Valerie was extremely patient and kind with her, and was eventually able to win her over into a better mood where they could play for the rest of the evening before bedtime. Valerie even brought over some books for her on the 2nd night, which was incredibly thoughtful and kind! Overall was a great experience - would highly recommend Valerie and would definitely work with her again if we’re ever back in the area!

Hi there! My name is Lauren. I’m a 23 year old Graduate Student at The University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 years old and I really enjoy spending time with kids. I have reliable transportation, references and lots of years of experience. I can also take care of pets, do light house work, etc. I’m originally from Atlanta, Georgia and relocated to Denver, CO May of 2024. I’m looking to pick up a part-time nannying or babysitting position nearby while I form longterm connections with families in the area. I am located in Lakewood but am available to travel.

Lauren was excellent with our 11 month old son! We used her several times over the course of a few weeks. She was flexible with her schedule, always punctual, and very reliable. I would recommend her in general.

Hi! Thank you for posting an opportunity to care for you and your family. I was a preschool teacher in Champaign, IL during college in 1993. I moved to Madison, WI with my husband who got his PhD there and I was a nanny and preschool teacher there. When he graduated, we moved to Denver. I worked at Swedish Medical Center's preschool until 2000. I work full time at a University and simply miss the kiddo energy. I'm looking to pick up part time opportunities to return to the caregiver role I love so much. I've worked with infants through 4th grade. I'd really enjoy meeting you to discuss times I could assist and ease your schedule a bit. : )

We absolutely loved Mary Kay and so did our kids. She helped us out with date nights as well as overnight babysitting. We could always count on her to come up with activities to keep our 4 and 7 yo entertained like baking apple pie cake and other fun things to keep them engaged. We were sad to leave her when we had to move for my job. I would recommend her highly!

Hello! I'm a 39-year-old, fully vaccinated developmental and sleep specialist nanny living in Thornton. I have degrees in neuroscience and psychology, during which time I completed a coveted pediatric sleep research fellowship. I am currently working on a remote master's degree in sleep medicine from Oxford University. I’ve nannied and provided regular sitting for most of the last 20 years in both Denver and Nashville. I am currently looking to expand my rotation of families for date night sitting while I finish school and I am potentially open to part time nanny work (25-30 hours) for the right family. I’m a big believer in developmental-stage focused activies, child-led play, and engaging kids in ways that instill them with a love for learning. I have experience from birth through grade school and have had kids I adore at every age. My love of early childhood development and passion for raising strong, compassionate, and resilient kids is what led me to pursue my degrees. I have provided the two required references but if you need or want more please don't hesitate to ask for as many as you need. Talk to you soon! Dana

Dana has been nothing short of amazing with our son! I am extremely picky when it comes to who we trust to watch our little one and I am just so thankful to have found Dana. She is very experienced with young children and loves being around them—plus our son is always so excited when we tell him that she is coming over. She always knows what developmentally appropriate games to play and how to gently encourage him to finish all of his food. Would highly recommend Dana to any parents looking for someone trustworthy and nurturing!

My name is Desiree. I live in Aravda and I have 18 years of child care experience. I have a degree in early childhood education and have worked with children ranging from infants to 10-years-olds. I have volunteered in a daycare, worked in a home daycare, and worked as a private nanny for several families. My experience includes taking care of infants, toddlers, twins, older children, and children with special needs. I have helped children with everything from toilet training to homework to learning piano. With my nurturing and patient nature, I easily taught children how to use sign language. Bringing comfort and joy to children has also brought confidence and new ideas to those entrusted to my care. I areliable, caring, trustworthy, patient and a loving caregiver. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. I am available to work Monday-Friday.

Desiree cared for our daughter from 7 months to 2 years old and quickly became part of our family. She loved our daughter deeply and communicated openly and clearly with us. Desiree's educational approach allowed our daughter to explore and learn new things daily. They would go on daily walks where she allowed our daughter to lead the pace, and truly experience the world. They would always have fun whether it was quiet time cuddling and reading a book or in the backyard playing at the water table and slide. Her extensive experience, patience, and dedication ensured our daughter's safety and growth. Desiree was very responsible, always on time, and willing to help out in any way. She was flexible and willing to swap days or do additional days when our other caregivers (grandparents) had appointments or trips. Desiree always informed us about any behavioral issues and handled them thoughtfully, ensuring consistency in care. She had such a positive impact on our daughter's early years. We highly recommend Desiree to any family. Her love, dedication, and professionalism make her an exceptional nanny. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their children.

Hello, my name is Shzone. I’m a dedicated and nurturing childcare professional with over 15 years of experience supporting young children (infants to preteens) and their families. My family's recent move to Denver marks an exciting new chapter, and I am eager to bring my skills and passion to a new community. For over a decade, I served as a trusted family assistant and childcare provider in New York, where I honed my ability to multitask and provide comprehensive, dedicated support. I am a detail-oriented and organized individual, skilled in efficiently managing diverse household tasks to create a smoothly running home environment. My true passion, however, lies in fostering a safe and nurturing space where each child feels valued and empowered to express themselves. I believe in being a reliable partner to families, supporting each child's unique journey and celebrating their milestones. I am excited to find a new family in Denver with whom I can share my commitment to children's happiness and growth.

I have 15+ years experience in babysitting. My passion for child care first started at a young age while my mother provided daycare in our home, taking care of children from the age of 6 weeks old to Pre-k age. As a result of that experience I became skilled in taking care of infants to toddlers. Later on out of high school I was an after-school teacher at my local elementary school. When I relocated to Atlanta, Georgia at the age of 22 I developed a passion and resources to go abroad and work with children over seas. I traveled to Colombia, and the Amazon where I volunteered with organizations teaching art as a form of therapy to under privileged children. And my favorite experience was Au-pairing for an incredible family in Mallorca, Spain and teaching English at their academy. My most recent nanny experience has been with my close friends daughter, I had been her nanny since birth to 13 months old, and currently as needed. Children bring my heart pure joy. Watching them develop and learn and discover is such an amazing thing to be apart of. And to be partially responsible for the type of person that a child will grow into is something I cherish dearly. Outside of nannying I own my own all natural cleaning business and I am a visual artist participating in local events and markets and sell my art and handmade goods in local boutiques.
