Karen M., Child Care in Thornton, CO 80241 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello! Little about me, I’m originally from Tx, I grew up in Colorado and moved back to Colorado after high school. (2019) with my boyfriend. I then become a dental Assistant for pediatrics, and purse other specialists in the dental field. I’ve always looked after my little cousins, since they were born and care for them full time as they were growing up, and are now pre-teens! I also have a younger sister! I really enjoyed taking care of others so I pursued it and became a full time nanny. I’ve been with my nanny family for three years and I’ve loved every second of it! unfortunately they’re getting older so I’m looking into joining a new family. With my role as a nanny I enjoy being the most helpful as possible, with the kids and the family! I basically loved doing all the house essentials, like laundry, dishes, basic meals, the families errands (groceries shopping/ pick ups, drop offs, Dr appointments, house organizing) I enjoy to stay busy and productive. For the kids I enjoy doing learning development games, trying new parks together, doing crafts, reading, playing video games/building legos playing board games . I enjoy spending quality time with them and being very attentive doing what they love to do! I would describe myself as enthusiastic, optimistic, caring, nurturing, very compassionate, responsible and reliable. I am now a full time nanny, and babysitting part time/occasional and I absolutely love it! I love taking care of others. Staying active, creating a fun, playful, safe environment is my ultimate goal for families. I’m comfortable with working with all ages, from newborns -early teens, also comfortable around pets! I enjoy time outdoors, like hiking, swimming, painting and picnics. I also love to read, and anything crafty! I like to do activities and stay active! I also love movie nights and watching movies, but minimizing tv and screen time as much possible, unless you’re okay with it. I am CPR certified, and I’m also bilingual with fluent Spanish and English. I look forward to speaking with you! Thank you,

Mary kay M., Child Care in Thornton, CO 80241 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi! Thank you for posting an opportunity to care for you and your family. I was a preschool teacher in Champaign, IL during college in 1993. I moved to Madison, WI with my husband who got his PhD there and I was a nanny and preschool teacher there. When he graduated, we moved to Denver. I worked at Swedish Medical Center's preschool until 2000. I work full time at a University and simply miss the kiddo energy. I'm looking to pick up part time opportunities to return to the caregiver role I love so much. I've worked with infants through 4th grade. I'd really enjoy meeting you to discuss times I could assist and ease your schedule a bit. : )

I am a nurturing, fun, and creative babysitter with over 10 years of nannying/babysitting experience including everything from infants to teenagers. I have a bachelors in counseling and have taken child and adolescent psychology classes. I love reading (running away to Australia with Alexander in his railroad train pajamas or giving a mouse a cookie to see what happens...) and music (everything from Chopin to the Beatles), building forts and having adventures outdoors. I grew up in "Calvin and Hobbes" style with my Beagle, Suzie, so I love family pets! I am firm but kind and very patient with all temperaments.  I am looking for part time babysitting positions weekends and evenings only. I love working with kids and would love to find an awesome family that wants a responsible and caring addition to their family. References available upon request.

Hello, my name is Shzone. I’m a dedicated and nurturing childcare professional with over 15 years of experience supporting young children (infants to preteens) and their families. My family's recent move to Denver marks an exciting new chapter, and I am eager to bring my skills and passion to a new community.

Amanda L., Child Care in Thornton, CO 80241 with 15 years of paid experience

I have 15+ years experience in babysitting. My passion for child care first started at a young age while my mother provided daycare in our home, taking care of children from the age of 6 weeks old to Pre-k age. As a result of that experience I became skilled in taking care of infants to toddlers. Later on out of high school I was an after-school teacher at my local elementary school. When I relocated to Atlanta, Georgia at the age of 22 I developed a passion and resources to go abroad and work with children over seas. I traveled to Colombia, and the Amazon where I volunteered with organizations teaching art as a form of therapy to under privileged children. And my favorite experience was Au-pairing for an incredible family in Mallorca, Spain and teaching English at their academy. My most recent nanny experience has been with my close friends daughter, I had been her nanny since birth to 13 months old, and currently as needed. Children bring my heart pure joy. Watching them develop and learn and discover is such an amazing thing to be apart of. And to be partially responsible for the type of person that a child will grow into is something I cherish dearly. Outside of nannying I own my own all natural cleaning business and I am a visual artist participating in local events and markets and sell my art and handmade goods in local boutiques.
