Babysitter with around 5 year of experience, caring and supervising kids of various ages.I worked for a family as a nanny for a year in Mexico, when I move to CO I trained and took my preparation classes, then I worked for two years in Primrose as a teacher in young 2s and 3s. I am currently working in Ka as a lead teacher for 4 and 3 years old. Looking to offer my skills and dedication to a lovely family.

I believe kids needs to have opportunities to do fun things in the summer and I will plan day trips and outdoor activities to engage them both physically and mentally. I am also a certified teacher and am willing to negotiate tutoring services during childcare hours. I am an expert in teaching reading and own an all inclusive reading program for all ages that has been proven successful. I am also skilled in teaching elementary math and writing as well as science. Additionally, I have provided both Spanish and guitar lesson for beginners. I have worked in various childcare facilities as well as individual families doing before and after school care in Colorado working with infants through middle school-aged children. I planned daily activities and learning units that were engaging to students even in an after school care program. I also spent 2 years caring for infants at a Montessori center. I am very comfortable with children of all ages. I believe that play is is how children learn and I love providing various play experiences for all ages. In additional to caring for children, I have been teaching elementary school for 10 years. I have taught grades 2-6, and most recently I have become a reading specialist, teaching children who struggle with dyslexia.  Currently, I am a grad student at Denver Seminary finishing up my master's degree in Counseling. I am recently married and look forward to starting a family of my own, but in the mean time, the next best thing is helping other busy parents provide nurturing care for their children. I am available for Thursdays and Fridays during the day as well as for date nights and overnights. Send me a message if you want a fun, energetic, and nurturing sitter!

Hi there families, I am a seasoned Early Childhood Teacher and am TRUSTLINE verified (this is a deeper background check than what they run here) happy to give you my ID# upon request. I have worked with young children (infant to 12 years of age) in a variety of settings for over 25 years: preschool teacher, nanny, camp-counselor, dramatic-arts coach, classroom volunteer and mother. I am a self-starter with high energy. My extensive experience and maturity bring both wisdom and calm while still embodying youth and vitality. I have been told that I float seamlessly among all age groups and have been referred to as a “Yoga-Mary Poppins”.

I have a working knowledge of different ECE modalities: Reggio, Waldorf, Montessori, Play-based and RIE.

I am dedicated to the well-being of children and have strong competency in creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, seen, respected and excited. I know how to set boundaries (while still validating child's feelings), anticipate meltdowns and redirect with ease. My intention when working with babies and children is to focus on engaging them in active educational play that supports their developmental milestones. I enjoy “play with a purpose” whether it’s park days, interactive games, nature outings, library story-times, crafts or science projects; your baby/child will be learning and nurtured when they are with me!

Hi! I’ve been nannying/babysitting for about 11 years! I’m CPR and BLS trained on all ages. I’m 28 (almost 29!) with a fiance but no kiddos. Just a pup! I’d love to sit for your kiddos and keep them entertained safe and happy! I have experience with the state in DHS specifically working with young juveniles and their development. I practice more of a Montessori type of learning and play, and love to be outside when the weather permits. I’m the oldest of 5 kids so I have a lot of experience with multiple ages and different personalities. I just love getting to hang out and teach them new things! I do know Sign language and some Spanish. I don’t mind a commute and thought I’d love to have a full time nanny job, I’m open to babysitting several families here and there. Additionally, I do housekeeping while I’m there and ensure you come home more relaxed than we you left! :)
