Koryn W.
- 6 years paid experience
- 7 miles
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!

Hey there, my name is Madison and it's a pleasure to be considered to watch over your babies. I have experience as a nanny, as well as several years being a kids camp counselor, babysitting for many friends/family, and volunteering for the nursery at my church. I've been a full time photographer the last 5 years and worked with kids throughout my career as well so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I'm wanting to take a small step back from photography and pour my compassion and empathy into caretaking. I've always had a heart to make children feel loved and seen. I have a love for adventure that I love to share with kids and always want to instill confidence in their ability to learn and try new things. I am first aid + CPR certified through my physical therapy degree. I would love to learn more about your family's needs and look forward to hearing from you!

In addition to creating a phenomenal annual growth increase in MAPS, CSAP, DRA, & TCAP testing as a classroom teacher, my past employment has given me in-depth experiences in providing services to children and adults with, and without, developmental disabilities as well as managing and organizing a variety of activities. I have developed highly effective teaching techniques and instructional methods, which have allowed me to educate all styles of learners and foster an enthusiastic and engaging learning environment that effectively teaches subject appreciation, promotes creativity and encourages growing independence. One of my greatest strengths as an educator is meeting each student’s unique needs by developing an in-depth personal understanding of each one of them. I achieve this by recognizing and assessing the students as individuals, and tailoring lesson plans to accommodate multiple intelligences. Furthermore, I offer one-on-one and after school guidance to ensure that all students grasp the learning materials and enhance their personal skills. I have worked hard to develop not only an outstanding resume but also an exceptional reputation. I will carry this over into my work and strive for dedicated success. I want to use my proficiencies to gain experience and help those for whom I work with and for. I consider myself to have sincere people skills, outstanding organizational skills, and of course, dedication to providing a dynamic education to children with hopes of making a significant impact in their life.

Ana K.
- 10 years paid experience
- 11 miles
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.

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!

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
