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,

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!

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.

Hi there! My name's Jordan Lewis. Originally from Atlanta, GA, I've spent three wonderful years living in Denver. Most recently, I worked as a social media manager for the U.S. Olympic rowing team, but I'm excited to return to my roots in childcare to supplement my income. I have over five years experience working with kids of all kinds, including two years as a summer camp counselor and three as a babysitter and nanny for children ages 8 months to 10 years. My time as a volunteer street medic also gave me training in basic first aid and CPR. I absolutely love being a part of such a crucial time in children’s lives and bringing the fun and creativity of summer camp into the home. I’d be thrilled to support your family with care, kindness, and a touch of whimsy.

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.

My true passion, however, lies in fostering a safe and nurturing space where each child feels valued and empowered to express themselves.

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.
