Unexpected childcare disruptions cost businesses productivity and cost parents their peace of mind. Cherry Creek Nanny Agency offers a flexible corporate backup care solution built for small to mid-sized Denver businesses — without the complexity of traditional enterprise programs.
Our program gives employees direct access to qualified backup caregivers when they need them most — without requiring HR to manage daily scheduling or coordination.
Complete our Corporate Backup Care Intake Form. We assess your team's size, location, and typical backup care needs to determine program alignment.
We source, vet, and background-check a curated roster of qualified caregivers matched to your employees' locations and scheduling needs across the Denver metro area.
Your employees receive contact information for the caregiver roster and can reach out directly when backup care is needed — no middleman, no delays.
Employees pay caregivers directly at the agreed hourly rate. We are a referral agency — not the employer of record — keeping the arrangement simple and compliant.
Need additional caregivers beyond the roster? Contact us with at least 48 hours' advance notice and we'll source new options. For day-to-day bookings, employees reach sitters directly — no agency involvement needed.
Our program is designed for the real, everyday childcare disruptions that pull working parents off task. Here's what it covers.
Unexpected school closures, holidays, teacher workdays, or administrative days that leave parents without coverage.
Colorado weather is unpredictable. When schools or daycares close due to snow or weather events, backup care keeps your team present.
Daycare facility closures, licensing inspections, or holiday shutdowns that employees may get short notice about.
When an employee's regular nanny or babysitter calls in sick or has an emergency, backup care fills the gap immediately.
Gaps between school pickup and end of workday, or other coverage windows that don't align with the employee's schedule.
Important meetings, late client events, or business travel that require occasional extended care beyond normal hours.
To ensure clarity and success for all parties, please review these program expectations carefully.
Employees contact caregivers directly from the provided roster — no agency scheduling coordination required for each booking.
Direct sitter access means same-day is possible. Employees reach sitters on the roster directly — no agency involvement needed for day-to-day bookings. Same-day contact is fine; 24+ hours notice to sitters is ideal when possible, but not required.
Agency sourcing requires 48 hours' notice. If all roster sitters are unavailable, contact the agency for additional sourcing. We require a minimum of 48 hours' advance notice for this, and all sourcing is subject to availability.
Referral agency only. Cherry Creek Nanny Agency acts as a referral agency and is not the employer of record for caregivers. Employees pay caregivers directly.
Contacting sitters directly? 24 hours is ideal but not required. Employees should give sitters as much notice as possible — 24+ hours is preferred — but same-day requests are welcome. Sitter availability is never guaranteed.
Backup care rates vary based on the number of children, responsibilities, and caregiver experience. Here's what to expect in the Denver metro area.
Typical range across the Denver metro area
Rates are determined between the employee and caregiver directly. Several factors influence the final hourly rate:
Rates typically increase with each additional child under the caregiver's supervision.
Additional tasks such as driving, meal prep, or light housekeeping can affect the hourly rate.
More experienced caregivers with specialized certifications or longer track records typically command higher rates.
Longer or recurring bookings may be negotiated at a slightly adjusted rate directly between employee and caregiver.
