Hi, I’m Maddy — and I’ve been doing this since 2015.
I started PioCare as a student at the University of Denver because I saw how overwhelming and expensive the nanny search was for families — and how little guidance existed beyond overpriced agency brochures.
Since then, I’ve helped thousands of Colorado families find nannies, babysitters, tutors, and household helpers. I’ve seen the interviews that felt great but went wrong, the red flags that got missed, and the families who paid thousands to an agency for something they could have done for a fraction of the cost.
This guide is free because families deserve better information — not a sales pitch. And if you ever want to talk through your specific situation, I’m just an email away.

PioCare is an excellent service and we found a wonderful nanny through this service. All recommended sitters were phenomenal with our two boys. It saves me so much time.
PioCare has been a critical support system for our family for many years. We can quickly get a babysitter for date nights or when life gets hectic. Truly invaluable.
We hired our nanny within two weeks — faster and cheaper than any agency we’d tried. The vetting process gave us so much confidence going into interviews.
