Hello!! My name is Ana just like the Disney princess! I'm a junior at CU studying to be an ER pediatric nurse. My decision to pursue nursing was influenced by my interactions as a nanny. With 9 years of babysitting experience taking care of infants to 15 years old, I approach every family I work with as if they were my own. I strive to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing that their little ones are in the hands of someone trustworthy. I thrive on the contagious energy that children bring, and I enjoy engaging with them through interactive play. Safety and security are my top priorities, but I also make sure to create a fun and entertaining environment. I constantly come up with new games and activities to keep the time spent together enjoyable. Responsibility is of utmost importance to me, and I always adhere to the rules set by parents to establish trust and transparency. In addition, I have experience in potty training and knowledge of sign language.

Wonderful! We used Deana while vacationing in Boulder and wished she lived near us so we could use her regularly. She managed putting two wild toddlers to bed and had great instincts on how to respond to and take care of the baby who was having trouble sleeping. Our kids were in good hands. Highly recommend!

I am a caregiver by nature. I find myself the most fulfilled when I am caring for children and animals. I love being a parent. My 3 children are now adults. I've recently spent a lot of time with and babysitting for my 7 grandchildren who range in age from 1 to 12 years old. I was the primary caregiver for my granddaughter since birth until recently when she turned 5. I also served in the infant nursery at our church for several years (newborn-2 years), I am a Colorado native. I would love the opportunity to care for your child. Rest assured that they will be well cared for and that I will always respect your preferences for how you would like the care to be provided.

Vanessa did a great job watching our almost 2 year old for the evening. She has a very calming energy that made our daughter very comfortable with her. Well definitely ask her to sit again for a future night out!

Lu was an excellent sitter for our 3 year old daughter. She came with a great attitude and lots of activities, arts and crafts, music, and was also super patient in getting acquainted and comfortable during their first meeting. Her extensive professional history in childcare really shows through her care and attentiveness.
