Find experienced child care providers in Strasburg, CO

I am Shawna Johnsbury, and I would like to work in your home, with your children and you. I have worked as a nanny and in a pre-school for my entire adult life. I know how important the first exposure to learning can be for both a child and the parents. Not only for that childs academic career, but also their whole lives can be set upon the foundation of their first learning years. It is because I have helped many children and their families learn to LOVE to learn that I am pursuing this opportunity. With kids, you can expect me to: Encourage, cherish, work to meet individual needs. Facilitate & Encourage risk taking. Discuss, predict and review choices. Allow natural consequences, including “failure,” to teach (where in line with the family’s philosophy)For example, “You might feel cold if you get wet.” If the kid chooses to get wet, I will let that happen and help them maneuver the chills, all the while believing that giving them room to choose (and go through the consequences) teaches them to make better choices. Also, a kid might not experience cold the way I do; perhaps it really does feel good to them even if I am chilled! Use exploration and experimentation wherever possible. Facilitate conflict resolution. Give time/space for all parties to feel and articulate his/her experience (thoughts, feelings, concerns). Plan for future conflicts, to avoid or manage differently. Ask a million questions! LISTEN for the kids’ answer. At times, try to answer them together! ~Why?~ Why not?~ Where?~Who?~ How?~ What if…..?~ Who else? ~ What other ways? Turn a question back to a kid….”Miss Shawna, why don’t we go to the park today?” “Well, kidd-o, why do you think we aren’t?” Again, listen to what they are thinking! For the families I work with, you can expect me to; Adhere to the family rules and contracts. Support parents with; punctuality, reliability, consistency. I will share observations, concerns, ideas. If requested, I will write observations/daily logs, attend community events, take classes, read books, assist with light meal prep, shopping, some home maintenance. I will put the needs of the kids first, while holding value that kids can and do contribute to a household. I believe they can be happily incorporated into many of the tasks that are to be accomplished. I will hold their physical & emotional safety in highest regard. Seeking 20-30 hours, 2-3 days

Hi my name is Natalie! I've been a full time nanny before for a lovely family in the pinery! I took care of a 7 week old till he was about 8 months old!

I love caring for children and being able to assist families with their needs. I’ve had previous experience working as an early childhood teacher and as an owner/director of a very small childcare center. I have an early childhood director’s certificate, early childhood teacher certificate, and meet all State training qualifications for teaching in the field of early childhood education. I think every child is a unique individual and do my best to plan daily activities to meet their individual needs. I love providing opportunities for children to express their individuality and to explore the world around them.

Hi My name is Olga! I’m a reliable, caring and energetic babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with kids. I’m just starting out professionally but I have about a year of experience caring for kids. I've taken a "Tiny Tots" class in high school, where I worked with groups of 15-20 children from 3-5 years old. Each week I got to work one on one with different kids which helped me understand different personalities, learn to be patient and create a positive environment for every child. It also gave the chance to work with managing multiple kids at once and keep kids engaged. I also have experience babysitting my cousins and family friends' children of different ages and different personalities. I love planning fun and engaging activities for kids like games, crafts and do things they like also! I’m more than happy to help with homework, meal prep, cleaning and whatever you need done! Feel free to contact me at any time!
