Hello! I'm Colin. I have been working in childcare since 2016, starting by babysitting for my neighbors and family friends and coaching sports at my YMCA. I am experienced with low-level autism care, and have worked as an after school nanny for a family of 3 elementary age kids, including twins. I am a nationally registered EMT (Emergency Medical Technician; EMT-Basic), certified as a Wilderness First Responder (WFR), and am SafeSport certified. I have infant safety and safe sleep training through Colorado Shines. I have been caring for my nephew since he was a newborn, and I have cared for other children as young as about 6 months old. I have worked in before-and-after school care, summer day camp and overnight camp, the AmeriCorps home-school program, reading intervention programs for K-2nd graders, and as a substitute teacher for elementary school. In 2024, I spent the summer as a camp counselor Read more in Wyoming with an overnight summer camp, where I taught archery and blacksmithing. In the summer of 2025 I worked at the JCC of Denver's Ranch Camp as a trips guide for 9th graders. I enjoy any opportunity to teach children life skills and hobbies, and I do well with building rapport in small groups or one-on-one care. My philosophy is to approach youth development with positivity, creativity, and a focus on mental health. I’m also autistic, which I see as a strength in childcare. I thrive in structured environments, pay close attention to detail, and enjoy learning the specific routines that help kids feel comfortable. I value clear and direct communication around expectations and other tasks. I often excel in one-on-one or small group settings, like when babysitting. If you have any questions, I’m happy to chat about it further! More About Me/Other Fun Facts: I am a student at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where I am majoring in Psychology with a focus on pre-health. When I'm not working or doing classwork, I enjoy a wide range of hobbies, including video games, 3D printing, photography, sailing, outdoor recreation, wood and metalworking, board games and going on adventures to new places. When I'm not doing those things, I very much enjoy a good nap or listening to music.

Trust & safety
