Building long lasting relationships is what make me love this job. Children I care for 20 years ago are grown and we all keep in touch. Sharing memories everytime I'm invited to their graduation, birthday or family thanksgiving give me a sense of accomplishment. Knowing that I contributed raising a beautiful soul and successful citizen is what keeps me in the job and get me going. I love kids, I raised four of my own and unfortunately they don't need me as much anymore. Their world resume now around their friends, school, work or other relationships. Occasional mommy time here and there with holidays. This is why I'd love to continue caring for little ones, provide the support their family need to embrace life. I have few trainings like first aid, cpr, osha bbp and hazardous certification. I own a car and is very reliable and punctual, a good driving record, both professional and social. I have administrative skills at managing multiple calendars, staying organized, coordinate projects and events. I'm available to take kids to the children museum, other museums, libraries for story time, crafting and role play, dinosor ridge, tchou-tchou train adventure, feeding the giraffe at the zoo, feeding stingray at the aquarium. Playdate with friends or simply playtime at a park. I do not encourage tv, or electronic time for over 2 hours a day split this time in 30 mins increment during the day to watch educative videos for manners, civism, and other educational program according to age. I encourage children to be handy with motor skills, to develop and, enable them to explore, gain independence, and perform daily tasks like self-care. create, innovate, learning, and play. With parents permission, and depending on age, I offer rewards for good behavior, homework, parents assigned shores etc... I'm always open to learn, improve and adapt per each family need because what works one child, will not neccessary work for another.

Jeanne puts pride into everything she does. She is so thoughtful in the details, making sure my daughter is engaged in fun, safe activities while she was in her care. We really enjoy spending time with her.

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! 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!

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 there! My name is Bella, and I’m a dependable, caring, and patient caregiver with a strong background in both healthcare and child care. I’ve been babysitting for 7+ years, caring for children ranging from children to pre-teens, and I truly love being a supportive, positive presence in their lives. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, preparing meals, or managing bedtime routines, I strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. In addition to hands-on babysitting experience, I have a background in healthcare and am certified in CPR and First Aid — so safety and attentiveness are always top priorities for me. I became a caregiver because I genuinely enjoy helping others, and working with children brings me so much joy. I’m great at staying calm under pressure, building trust with both kids and parents, and creating routines that work for everyone. If you're looking for a sitter who’s reliable, attentive, and loves kids, I’d love to connect!

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.

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.
