Hey! I’m GraceAnna, I love kids and have been working with kiddos of all ages for over 15 years.

Kamryn M., Babysitter in Thornton, CO 80241 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Kam, and I'm a kind, compassionate, and caring gal born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. I'm new to the Colorado area, as my partner travels for work (a traveling electrician) and I will be here for a little over 2 years. I recently graduated with my bachelor's in elementary education, with an emphasis in special education. I have years of teaching experience and have also taught many after school programs! While I'm not able to commit to a teaching job just yet due to traveling, I would absolutely love to continue my passion for working with children as a babysitter. I find so much joy in being a positive mentor in a child’s life! I have over 7 years of babysitting experience and have nannied for 2 different families, so I have extensive experience with all age groups. In my free time, you can find me taking my miniature dachshund, Arlo, on walks and hikes. I also love volunteering at local animal shelters to give some extra love and attention to the furry residents between their forever homes. When I'm not outdoors, I enjoy all things arts and crafts, board games, and music! I'm free all hours of the day, so I'm your person if you need an emergency sitter. I can't wait to meet your family and create lasting, fun-filled memories together! Let me know if you’d like to chat more!

Jessica R., Babysitter in Thornton, CO 80241 with 3 years of paid experience

As a compassionate and experienced babysitter, I bring a unique blend of warmth, patience, and professionalism to my caregiving role. With a background in babysitting and a special focus on providing exceptional care to autistic children, I understand the importance of creating a nurturing environment that caters to each child's individual needs. My experience has taught me the significance of clear communication, adaptability, and fostering a sense of trust to ensure a positive and enriching experience for both the child and their parents. Beyond my babysitting expertise, I have served as a dedicated Patient Care Technician in a hospital setting. This role has equipped me with valuable skills in maintaining a calm and composed demeanor in high-pressure situations, attention to detail, and a keen understanding of individualized care. My ability to navigate diverse caregiving scenarios, coupled with my genuine passion for creating joyful and secure environments, positions me as an ideal candidate for providing exceptional babysitting services. I look forward to bringing my unique skill set and compassionate approach to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for the children under my care.

Mary kay M., Babysitter in Thornton, CO 80241 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! Thank you for posting an opportunity to care for you and your family. I was a preschool teacher in Champaign, IL during college in 1993. I moved to Madison, WI with my husband who got his PhD there and I was a nanny and preschool teacher there. When he graduated, we moved to Denver. I worked at Swedish Medical Center's preschool until 2000. I work full time at a University and simply miss the kiddo energy. I'm looking to pick up part time opportunities to return to the caregiver role I love so much. I've worked with infants through 4th grade. I'd really enjoy meeting you to discuss times I could assist and ease your schedule a bit. : )
