Flexible Childcare Options for Colorado Families
We recognize childcare needs are as varied as the children being served. Not everyone needs full-time or even long-term childcare - we get that. As you’ve likely found out on your own finding high-quality, experienced, and reliable childcare providers on a part-time or short-term basis is difficult. The good news is after nearly 30 years in the Colorado marketplace, we’ve cracked the code. Whether you’re looking for a consistent part-time nanny, a full-time nanny for a few months, a handful of reliable babysitters for as-needed coverage you have come to the right place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you pay them or do I?
The IRS classifies nannies, even short-term and part-time nannies, as household employees (W2). You’ll be responsible for paying them. As for our babysitting services, they are our employees and we’ve got it covered for you.
How much does it cost?
A nanny’s rate of pay is based on their experience, their areas of expertise, their level education, but in this market the broad range is $25-$35+/hour, with most falling somewhere in the middle.
How much notice do you need?
The answer: as much as possible. Good nannies and sitters book up quickly, as you know. But not to worry for all you last-minuters…we ‘ll do our best to help you too! We’ve got this.
Is this service for me?
Our Short-term service is ideal for families who need less than 6 months of care (duration) or 15-25+ hours per week (part-time). Our babysitting services are ideal for one night up to a few weeks, as well as on-time events where children will be present.
is there a minimum Per Week or per day?
Yes to both. If you’re looking for a consistent nanny we require a commitment of 15+ hours per week (for 2+ months). If you need babysitting, as-needed, hotel or event care there is a 4 hour daily minimum.
Are they All College Students?
No. Those we represent as as diverse as the cities we work in; they are students, they are teachers, they are the oldest of five kids (a.k.a. the “natural”), they are professional nannies looking for a extra hours.
Our Screening Process
We expect all of our employees—whether they work 4 hours or 40 hours per week—to be reliable, trustworthy, safety conscious, patient and kind. We work diligently upfront to ensure every potential employee is thoroughly evaluated prior to representation to ensure they are a fit for our families and for our team. Each nanny and sitter, prior to ever working for one of our clients, must undergo a two-part interview process, have positive references from former employers (reference checks done in-house), pass an extensive and thorough background check, and complete several hours of training on Child Development, Child Safety and Well-Being, Best Practices and more. If they’re not good enough for our kiddos, they’re not good enough for yours either.
