Hello! I'm a 39-year-old, fully vaccinated developmental and sleep specialist nanny living in Thornton. I have degrees in neuroscience and psychology, during which time I completed a coveted pediatric sleep research fellowship. I am currently working on a remote master's degree in sleep medicine from Oxford University. I’ve nannied and provided regular sitting for most of the last 20 years in both Denver and Nashville. I am currently looking to expand my rotation of families for date night sitting while I finish school and I am potentially open to part time nanny work (25-30 hours) for the right family. I’m a big believer in developmental-stage focused activies, child-led play, and engaging kids in ways that instill them with a love for learning. I have experience from birth through grade school and have had kids I adore at every age. My love of early childhood development and passion for raising strong, compassionate, and resilient kids is what led me to pursue my degrees. I have provided the two required references but if you need or want more please don't hesitate to ask for as many as you need. Talk to you soon! Dana

Dana has been nothing short of amazing with our son! I am extremely picky when it comes to who we trust to watch our little one and I am just so thankful to have found Dana. She is very experienced with young children and loves being around them—plus our son is always so excited when we tell him that she is coming over. She always knows what developmentally appropriate games to play and how to gently encourage him to finish all of his food. Would highly recommend Dana to any parents looking for someone trustworthy and nurturing!

Hi, I’m Princess! I’ve been working in childcare since 2020, including preschool teaching and private babysitting. Most of my experience is with infants and toddlers, but I’ve also cared for preschool and school-age children and love adapting to each stage of development. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I have hands-on experience with everything from bottle prep and diaper changes to planning fun, creative activities that keep kids engaged and learning. Families often describe me as patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. I’m currently available for part-time babysitting and nannying, with flexibility on evenings, weekends, and early mornings. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meals, or other household tasks to make your day a little easier. I truly enjoy building connections with children and supporting families, and I’d love to bring that care and energy to yours!

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.

Hi, I’m Koryn! I’m 24 and currently studying psychology with a focus on child development, along with sociology. I’m looking for a summer nanny position, as well as occasional/date night opportunities. I’m fully vaccinated and certified in adult, child, and infant First Aid, AED, and CPR. Working with kids has been a huge part of my life for years, and it’s something I genuinely love. My approach is very child-led and down-to-earth. I meet kids where they’re at, follow their interests, and build connection first. I believe kids learn best through play, curiosity, and feeling truly seen, so I focus on developmentally appropriate activities that support their growth while still keeping things fun, relaxed, and engaging. I’m a seasoned babysitter/nanny with a wide range of experience, and I naturally incorporate skill-building into everyday moments, whether that’s emotional regulation, communication, independence, or creativity. I’m all about creating a safe, calm, and supportive environment where kids can be themselves and thrive. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

Building long lasting relationships is what make me love this job. Children I care for 20 years ago are grown and we all keep in touch. Sharing memories everytime I'm invited to their graduation, birthday or family thanksgiving give me a sense of accomplishment. Knowing that I contributed raising a beautiful soul and successful citizen is what keeps me in the job and get me going. I love kids, I raised four of my own and unfortunately they don't need me as much anymore. Their world resume now around their friends, school, work or other relationships. Occasional mommy time here and there with holidays. This is why I'd love to continue caring for little ones, provide the support their family need to embrace life. I have few trainings like first aid, cpr, osha bbp and hazardous certification. I own a car and is very reliable and punctual, a good driving record, both professional and social. I have administrative skills at managing multiple calendars, staying organized, coordinate projects and events. I'm available to take kids to the children museum, other museums, libraries for story time, crafting and role play, dinosor ridge, tchou-tchou train adventure, feeding the giraffe at the zoo, feeding stingray at the aquarium. Playdate with friends or simply playtime at a park. I do not encourage tv, or electronic time for over 2 hours a day split this time in 30 mins increment during the day to watch educative videos for manners, civism, and other educational program according to age. I encourage children to be handy with motor skills, to develop and, enable them to explore, gain independence, and perform daily tasks like self-care. create, innovate, learning, and play. With parents permission, and depending on age, I offer rewards for good behavior, homework, parents assigned shores etc... I'm always open to learn, improve and adapt per each family need because what works one child, will not neccessary work for another.

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!
