My name is Desiree. I live in Thornton and I have 18 years of child care experience. I have a degree in early childhood education and have worked with children ranging from infants to 10-years-olds. I have volunteered in a daycare, worked in a home daycare, and worked as a private nanny for several families. My experience includes taking care of infants, toddlers, twins, older children, and children with special needs. I have helped children with everything from toilet training to homework to learning piano. With my nurturing and patient nature, I easily taught children how to use sign language. Bringing comfort and joy to children has also brought confidence and new ideas to those entrusted to my care. I areliable, caring, trustworthy, patient and a loving caregiver. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. I am available to work Monday-Friday.

I am a compassionate hardworking child caregiver with 13-years of experience. I love children and have found childcare to be an incredibly rewarding and fun experience. I have been an elementary educator for 5 years for Denver Public Schools. Before getting my masters in curriculum and instruction I was the Director of Programs at a nonprofit youth center and daycare located in the Sun Valley neighborhood in Denver. Through this position, I have gained extensive knowledge about child psychology. I planned and facilitated daily field trips, led educational and creative activities, organized recreation and mindfulness exercises, and more. During college, I cared for twin three-year-olds and a nine-year-old girl for 3 years. With spending about 10 hours a day with these children I prepared healthy meals, did housework, helped with homework, took the children to activities, changed diapers, gave baths, designed developmentally stimulating activities for the children, and engaged in lots of play. While working for this family I learned how to be an extension of the parents by maintaining strong lines of communication with them. I have cared for a number of families over the years and have experience with multiples, newborns, toddlers, grade school-aged kids, and teenagers. I am energetic, dependable, creative, and patient. I am committed to providing your family the best care. Additionally, I have worked as a swim instructor teaching children of all ages how to swim. I would be happy to work on swimming with your children if desired. Through my vast experience, developmental psychology classes in college, and my extensive research in childcare I have developed a deep understanding of children of all ages. I am Lifeguard, First Aid and CPR certified for Adult and Pediatrics by the American Red Cross and American Heart Association. I also have a variety of other certifications that were required to work in a childcare center such as playground safety, medication administration, standard precautions, FEMA, etc. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your children and hopefully make a lasting connection

Hi there! My name's Jordan Lewis. Originally from Atlanta, GA, I've spent three wonderful years living in Denver. Most recently, I worked as a social media manager for the U.S. Olympic rowing team, but I'm excited to return to my roots in childcare to supplement my income. I have over five years experience working with kids of all kinds, including two years as a summer camp counselor and three as a babysitter and nanny for children ages 8 months to 10 years. My time as a volunteer street medic also gave me training in basic first aid and CPR. I absolutely love being a part of such a crucial time in children’s lives and bringing the fun and creativity of summer camp into the home. I’d be thrilled to support your family with care, kindness, and a touch of whimsy.

***Fully Vaccinated*** Hi there! I moved to Denver, CO from Portland, OR in July 2020. I graduated with a Psychology degree in summer of 2019 and formerly employed as a Mental Health Counselor at an at-risk youth residential center. I have a dog of my own named Malo, who is my best friend. During my spare time, I do yoga, see live music, go on hikes, and play with my dog. I am an aunt of three amazing nephews and two beautiful nieces. Back home, I lived with my sister and her husband and took care of their two girls ( at the time were 9 months old and 2 and a half years old) Monday - Friday and some weekend nights. I have experience babysitting kids from the age of 7-16, along with kids on the Spectrum and administering oral medication. I am QMAP'd and have my CPR certification. I love kids and if they like sports, nature or just playing outdoors, that's a plus because I love the outdoors! I am experienced in changing diapers -- yes, even blow outs, preparing meals for the day and/or school, driving little ones to school/park/errands, changing clothes, reminding to clean up after themselves, potty training, limiting screen time and mentally and physically exercising during play time! With that being said, I will take care of your kids the same way I take care of myself -- with love and patience. For the last three years, I was a Mental Health Counselor as listed above for at-risk youth; I have a passion to work with kids! I am seeking occasional babysitting gigs when parents needs a break or want a lovely date night. Currently, I am getting my masters in clinical psychology and decided to take a break from the mental health field to focus on school; therefore, my schedule is pretty much completely open! However, I do prefer to babysit during the day to nights, even late nights! Hope to hear from you :)

In addition to creating a phenomenal annual growth increase in MAPS, CSAP, DRA, & TCAP testing as a classroom teacher, my past employment has given me in-depth experiences in providing services to children and adults with, and without, developmental disabilities as well as managing and organizing a variety of activities. I have developed highly effective teaching techniques and instructional methods, which have allowed me to educate all styles of learners and foster an enthusiastic and engaging learning environment that effectively teaches subject appreciation, promotes creativity and encourages growing independence. One of my greatest strengths as an educator is meeting each student’s unique needs by developing an in-depth personal understanding of each one of them. I achieve this by recognizing and assessing the students as individuals, and tailoring lesson plans to accommodate multiple intelligences. Furthermore, I offer one-on-one and after school guidance to ensure that all students grasp the learning materials and enhance their personal skills. I have worked hard to develop not only an outstanding resume but also an exceptional reputation. I will carry this over into my work and strive for dedicated success. I want to use my proficiencies to gain experience and help those for whom I work with and for. I consider myself to have sincere people skills, outstanding organizational skills, and of course, dedication to providing a dynamic education to children with hopes of making a significant impact in their life.

I am a nurturing, fun, and creative babysitter with over 10 years of nannying/babysitting experience including everything from infants to teenagers. I have a bachelors in counseling and have taken child and adolescent psychology classes. I love reading (running away to Australia with Alexander in his railroad train pajamas or giving a mouse a cookie to see what happens...) and music (everything from Chopin to the Beatles), building forts and having adventures outdoors. I grew up in "Calvin and Hobbes" style with my Beagle, Suzie, so I love family pets! I am firm but kind and very patient with all temperaments. I am looking for part time babysitting positions weekends and evenings only. I love working with kids and would love to find an awesome family that wants a responsible and caring addition to their family. References available upon request.
