Find experienced child care providers in Johnstown, CO

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.

In additional to caring for children, I have been teaching elementary school for 10 years.

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 BA with emphasis in psychology, an AA in Early Childhood Education, CPR/First-Aid certifications and a vast understanding of children with different learning styles. I have a working knowledge of different ECE modalities: Reggio, Waldorf, Montessori, Play-based and RIE. I believe children learn best and THRIVE when all their needs (social/emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative) are being addressed and met. 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!

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! With over 15 years of professional childcare experience, I am a highly skilled child minder. My passion for working with kids originates from being the fifth child in a family of ten. Even as a kiddo myself, I eagerly volunteered to watch over my younger siblings, starting with babysitting under the supervision of an older sibling at the age of 9. This early experience blossomed into a deep love for childcare, leading me to work as a mother's helper in my neighborhood starting when I was 11. I cherished my first childcare job, which spanned over eight years and endured various relocations. To this day, I maintain close relationships with the families I've worked with. Throughout my career, I've served in various roles including teacher, babysitter, full-time nanny, driver, and group care provider. Notably, I provided comprehensive care for a family with pilot parents, accommodating their demanding schedules with diligence and care. I enjoy making art, reading books, camping, biking, hiking, and embarking on adventures with my wife. I am committed to providing a nurturing environment where children can thrive, offering trustworthy and enjoyable care in your absence. Let's connect and explore how I can support your family!
