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!

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.

Maria T., Nanny in Thornton, CO 80241 with 35 years of paid experience

I’m a seasoned elementary school teacher and have been a dependable babysitter since I was 10 years old. I’ve built lasting bonds with the families I’ve worked with and still keep in touch with many of them today. While I’m comfortable with all ages, I specialize in and prefer newborn care. I have extensive experience managing infant routines, schedules, and soothing techniques. My background in education means I bring a calm, reliable, and structured approach to keeping your little one safe and nurtured. I look forward to supporting your family!

Maria was a FANTASTIC babysitter for our baby girl who was coming off an ear infection. Maria was so caring, sweet and attentive. She is also very knowledgeable and gave us new parents a lot of great tips. Can't say enough good things about Maria!

Karen M., Nanny in Thornton, CO 80241 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello! Little about me, I’m originally from Tx, I grew up in Colorado and moved back to Colorado after high school. (2019) with my boyfriend. I then become a dental Assistant for pediatrics, and purse other specialists in the dental field. I’ve always looked after my little cousins, since they were born and care for them full time as they were growing up, and are now pre-teens! I also have a younger sister! I really enjoyed taking care of others so I pursued it and became a full time nanny. I’ve been with my nanny family for three years and I’ve loved every second of it! With my role as a nanny I enjoy being the most helpful as possible, with the kids and the family! I don’t mind doing all the house essentials, like laundry, dishes, basic meals, the families errands (groceries shopping/ pick ups, drop offs, Dr appointments, house organizing) I enjoy to stay busy and productive. For the kids I enjoy doing learning development games, trying new parks together, doing crafts, reading, playing video games/building legos playing board games . I enjoy spending quality time with them and being very attentive doing what they love to do! I would describe myself as enthusiastic, optimistic, caring, nurturing, very compassionate, responsible and reliable. I am now a full time nanny, and babysitting part time/occasional and I absolutely love it! I love taking care of others. Staying active, creating a fun, playful, safe environment is my ultimate goal for families. I’m comfortable with working with all ages, from newborns -early teens, also comfortable around pets! I enjoy time outdoors, like hiking, swimming, painting and picnics. I also love to read, and anything crafty! I like to do activities and stay active! I also love movie nights and watching movies, but minimizing tv and screen time as much possible, unless you’re okay with it. I am CPR certified, and I’m also bilingual with fluent Spanish and English. I look forward to speaking with you! Thank you,

Princess M., Nanny in Thornton, CO 80241 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Princess, and I have over 5 years of experience working with children in professional childcare settings. My background includes caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, with a strong focus on creating safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I am also a new mother to a baby girl and am currently seeking a nanny position with a family that is comfortable with my daughter accompanying me during working hours. Ideally, I would love to work with a family whose child is close in age to mine so they can grow, learn, and socialize together in a small, personalized care setting. My childcare philosophy centers on patience, responsiveness, and meaningful engagement. I enjoy supporting developmental milestones through age-appropriate play, reading, outdoor activities, sensory experiences, and consistent daily routines. I believe children learn best when they feel secure, valued, and encouraged to explore the world around them. Families can expect reliable communication, a calm and caring presence, and someone who genuinely enjoys helping children reach new milestones. I look forward to connecting with families who are seeking personalized, attentive care and who value the benefits of a small, family-like environment for their child.

Abby W., Nanny in Thornton, CO 80241 with 15 years of paid experience

Hello! I would love the opportunity to be a great fit for your family! I’ve been nannying and babysitting since I was 15 years old and have also worked in early childhood centers for over four years. During that time, I’ve taught in both preschool and pre-K classrooms and have gained experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and up. I absolutely love working with children and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for them. I’m comfortable with daily routines, naps, feeding, age-appropriate activities, outdoor play, and keeping little ones engaged throughout the day. I’m reliable, patient, caring, and love building strong relationships with both children and their families. I would love to connect and see if I could be a great fit for your family!

Isabella F., Nanny in Thornton, CO 80241 with 8 years of paid experience

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.
