Find experienced babysitters in Black Forest, CO

I recently relocated to Colorado Springs from Washington and am looking for part-time babysitting work while I get my counseling practice set up here. I have a master's in counseling psychology and bachelor's in elementary education. I have years of experience with kids of all ages, as a nanny, babysitter, counselor, gymnastics coach, and most recently, as a foster parent for several years in the Seattle area. I don't currently have kids in my home since I will need to get a new foster license in CO but definitely plan to continue this in the future. I love meeting new people and families, so I look forward to meeting you!

I recently graduated from college with a degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology, and I currently work at a middle school supporting students with special needs. Working with children has always been something I’m passionate about because I love helping them grow, learn, and feel confident in themselves. Being a sitter allows me to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment where kids can be themselves while also building positive routines and skills. Through my work at a school, I’ve gained valuable experience working with children with a wide range of needs, personalities, and learning styles. This has helped me become patient, adaptable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I’m comfortable helping with homework, encouraging positive behavior, and creating engaging activities that keep kids active and learning. Safety is very important to me, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. My background in psychology also helps me understand child development and communicate effectively with kids in a supportive and encouraging way. In my free time, I love staying active, whether that’s going to the gym or hiking the Incline. I enjoy bringing that same energy to childcare by encouraging outdoor play, creativity, and fun activities. Families can count on me to be responsible, caring, and genuinely invested in the well-being of their children.
