Five checks, then a full profile in your inbox.

We interview every sitter and nanny ourselves, and only send the ones we would trust with the families we have nannied for.

The checklist we work from

  • Criminal and county-level background check
  • Motor vehicle record verified
  • Current CPR and First Aid certification
  • Professional references checked
  • Personal interview with our founder
  • Full caregiver profile sent to you before every booking

Every line, every time, or we do not send them.

A nanny placement starts with a $500 intake fee. Every fee on one page.

How it works

Two different jobs, one person on the other end.

Booking a sitter is quick, and we do the choosing. Placing a nanny is a search, and you do the choosing.

Booking a sitter

Memberships and one-time sitters

  1. Tell us what you need

    The form, a call or a text. Say when, for how long and for whom.

  2. We find your match

    We pick an available sitter from the network we vetted ourselves.

  3. Meet your sitter on paper first

    Their full profile and contact details reach you before they arrive.

  4. Then you head out

    Your sitter arrives and you go. If anything comes up, we are a call away.

Placing a nanny

Part-time, full-time and nanny share

  1. A discovery call

    Tell us the hours, the ages, the pay range and what matters most. The $500 intake fee starts the search.

  2. She sources and vets

    Background, driving record, CPR, references and a personal interview, before you ever see a name.

  3. You interview and choose

    Two or three candidates who fit, on paper first and then in person. You pick your person.

  4. Trial, then a contract

    Two weeks part-time or three full-time, with a free replacement if either side wants to change course. Then you sign, and we introduce you to a payroll service.

    We require a licensed payroll service, such as HomePay. More about payroll.

Our story

Ten years on the other side of the front door.

Patrece Hodge started at seventeen and has been the babysitter, the nanny, the mother's helper, the family assistant and the house manager.

She started Three Peas in 2025 because families, especially first-time nanny employers, had no idea where to start, and good caregivers were left to sort out contracts alone.

There is no franchise and no call center. When you text, she is the one who reads it. The longer story.

When everyone plays their part, the kids win, which means we all win.

Questions parents ask

Answered plainly.

Who pays the sitter or nanny?

You do, directly, at an hourly rate you agree on together. Our fees cover the vetting, matching and coordination only. Sitters and nannies in Denver usually earn $25 to $35 an hour.

Do I get to interview the sitter first?

Not for babysitting. We have already done the screening, and you receive the sitter's full profile and contact details before every booking. For nanny placements, yes: you interview your top candidates and choose your person.

What if the sitter cancels?

If your sitter has to cancel, we tell you as soon as we know and look for someone else. We cannot promise one will be free.
