Grace P., Nanny in Lafayette, CO 80026 with 25 years of paid experience

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!

Grace was our nanny 3 full days a week for about a year. She was fantastic! So many good things to say. First and foremost, I never felt nervous leaving my little one in her care while we were at work. I knew she was in good, capable, and loving hands. She took great care of our tot, including meal prep and serving, supporting our sleeping preferences, bringing fun new toys and crafts, taking her out to the park and the library, and lots of outdoor time. She was always teaching her new songs, rhymes, games, and developmental skills without us prompting her at all. The only reason she's no longer our nanny is because she moved away! Grace was reliable, prompt, communicative, and just pleasant to be around for both my husband and I and our little one. She was willing to help out with household chores, cooking on request, pet care, and laundry. She is a gem and we still miss her dearly!

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.

Dana R., Nanny in Lafayette, CO 80026 with 20 years of paid experience

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 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!

Koryn W., Nanny in Lafayette, CO 80026 with 6 years of paid experience

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!

Jeanne D., Nanny in Lafayette, CO 80026 with 20 years of paid experience

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.

Desiree cared for our daughter from 7 months to 2 years old and quickly became part of our family. She loved our daughter deeply and communicated openly and clearly with us. Desiree's educational approach allowed our daughter to explore and learn new things daily. They would go on daily walks where she allowed our daughter to lead the pace, and truly experience the world. They would always have fun whether it was quiet time cuddling and reading a book or in the backyard playing at the water table and slide. Her extensive experience, patience, and dedication ensured our daughter's safety and growth. Desiree was very responsible, always on time, and willing to help out in any way. She was flexible and willing to swap days or do additional days when our other caregivers (grandparents) had appointments or trips. Desiree always informed us about any behavioral issues and handled them thoughtfully, ensuring consistency in care. She had such a positive impact on our daughter's early years. We highly recommend Desiree to any family. Her love, dedication, and professionalism make her an exceptional nanny. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their children.
