Maelan is a fantastic nanny for our daughter! She is organized and has been very helpful with getting our daughter on a consistent schedule, which has been great for us since this is our first child and we are learning as we go. Our daughter adores her and it's obvious that she is happy to see Maelan every morning. Any family would be lucky to have Maelan as a sitter or nanny!

Desiree L., Nanny in Thornton, CO 80241 with 18 years of paid experience

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.

Dana R., Nanny in Thornton, CO 80241 with 20 years of paid experience

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!

Emma was great with our kiddo, Abby. She was very responsive and able to connect with Abby quickly after meeting her. She has sat for us twice now and we look forward to having her back.

Janice F., Nanny in Thornton, CO 80241 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! As the oldest of 7 children I grew up babysitting and have always provided childcare as full-time or supplementary income. It's completely natural to me and I've always enjoyed it. *Please note: I am only available in Denver proper and am especially looking for something in the Cap Hill. Gov Park, or Cheesman Park areas. :) I have worked internationally as a nanny, in several American cities, and can provide excellent references. Parents, children, and babies love me because I love to play and connect with the children. I've been called the "Baby Whisperer" by my clients because I've never met a child who I don't get along with. I live an active lifestyle, have tons of energy, and love to play. I've just moved to Denver after living in Melbourne, Australia for five years. I thought that doing some childcare work would be a great way to meet people in my community and help me to build back up my savings after such a massive move. I'd love a long-term relationship with a family, but am only looking to work part-time/casual as I do have other commitments through the week (but my schedule is flexible). I love to cook, love to dance and sing, great at crafts and all sort of play. I would love to speak with you about helping out in your family!

Janice has cat sat for me twice, going out of her way to make friends with my friendly-but-shy cat who gets lonely very easily, by even working a few hours from my house while sitting. Everything went perfectly and I got lots of updates while I was away so I didn't have to worry while I was on vacation.

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!

Amanda L., Nanny in Thornton, CO 80241 with 15 years of paid experience

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.
