Children are naturally drawn to me, and I truly speak their language—whether I’m soothing a newborn, connecting with a toddler, or helping a preschooler learn through play. I am currently work with children with special needs ranging in age from 3 to 26, as well as supporting 4th and 5th graders in school settings.

I weave learning into everyday activities—teaching letters, shapes, colors, and phonics in playful, creative ways. Time outside is one of my favorite things, whether we’re exploring nature, playing in the dirt (when allowed!), or enjoying movement and fresh air. I also have experience teaching swimming and helping children feel confident and safe in the water. I’ve completed 12 units in Early Childhood Development and am currently pursuing a degree in Child Development, giving me a strong foundation in how children grow, learn, and thrive. I’m also pursuing studies in Physical Education to support motor development and encourage active, healthy lifestyles.

I am currently going to school to be an elementary school teacher. As the middle child of six, I am fond of children and have many years of experience when it comes to taking care of and watching kids. I would consider myself a super upbeat and sociable person so I get along with people, especially kids, pretty easily. As an older sister, I know how hard it can be to be responsible for kids 24/7, so while I go to school I would love to help ease the stress of full-time parents!

Hello, my name is Rosie and I would like to tell you a little bit about myself: I began working with children in 2014 as an infant teacher at a daycare. During my time at the daycare I worked primarily with children of 18-24 months but also helped out in other classrooms ranging from newborns to pre-k. I was in charge of the supervision and well-being of the children in my care. I created lesson plans, led circle time, changed diapers, and provided lots of love and encouragement. The most rewarding thing about my time at this daycare was the lasting bonds I was able to establish with the children. I then began working at a preschool where I was working with children of 2. 5-5 years of age. During my time there I taught Spanish, provided conflict resolutions, and provided a safe and loving environment. Outside of my professional positions, I have occasionally taken care of my nephew since birth (he is now 3 years old). I also occasionally babysit for multiple children. I am CPR/First Aid certified, a non-smoker, have my own car, and a clean driving record. Some of my passions include crafts, reading, and hiking. My love and compassion for children is what drives me to be the best caregiver for them!

Hi! I am 21 years old and currently in college studying child development. I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember and have always loved being around kids. Along with my many years of babysitting, I was also a gymnastics coach, where I coached kids of all ages for a few years. I also was involved with church groups and VBS (vacation bible school) where I led groups. I recently moved to Colorado but grew up in California. I am a certified Early childhood teacher, and I currently work as an infant teacher where I care for 5-8 infants daily at a local daycare facility. I am mainly looking for weekend jobs, as I work Monday through Friday and would have to correlate times after work. I would say I have excellent age appropriate skills and know how to handle kids very well. I am first aid, cpr, early childhood teacher, safe sleep training, AND gymnastics coach certified! I also hold a certification in all of the PDIS trainings. If I had to describe myself in a few words, I would say I’m responsible, empathetic, creative, and loving.
