Find an after school nanny in Lafayette, CO

Hi there! I’d love to work with your family:) I’m a bilingual, certified teacher. I would describe my personality as bubbly, compassionate and outgoing! I love working with children because I think it is beautiful watching the development and discovery they are going through as they're figuring out life and the world surrounding them:) I started working with kids when I was 14 years old, through volunteering in camps, watching family and friend's children and it has grown into my college degree in education. My main experience is with infants but I’ve worked with all ages! In my spare time, I love to cook, play music, grow plants, hang out outside in the sun and learn about natural and holistic medicines

Hi, I’m Shay. I’m a dependable, patient, and attentive childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience working as a date night sitter, occasional sitter, and live-in nanny, as well as in school settings, summer camps, and after-school programs. Over the years, I’ve supported more than 100 families, come highly recommended, and can provide strong references upon request. I have experience working with children across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and abilities, including children with disabilities and diverse support needs. I adapt easily to each child’s individual personality, learning style, and routine, and I bring patience, structure, and flexibility to every role. I approach childcare as a partnership with families, valuing clear communication, consistency, and mutual respect. I actively engage with children through play, activities, and daily routines rather than simply supervising, and I remain calm and attentive in all situations. I’m flexible with scheduling, dependable with time, and safety-focused at all times. I’m trained in first aid and emergency preparedness, and I stay present, responsive, and engaged throughout the day. My goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care that gives parents peace of mind and gives children a safe, supportive, and positive environment! I look forward to helping you & your family with caregiving needs. 😊

I am a true Mary Poppins! Just like Mary, I have been many things in my life, but being a teacher and nanny are my favorites. Originally from Germany (born and raised), I came here with my husband who was stationed in my hometown. As a career member of the AF, we moved all over the globe until he retired, and we settled here in CO. Children have always been my passion (I have two of my own), and it was logical for me to become a teacher. I taught middle school, 7th and 8th grade, while we were stationed in CA in language arts and social studies. I am a writer as well and have finished 3 novels. I love to exercise and power walk with my little pup, Helo, every day. I do pilates for core strength and dance (even when others watch). I have been a nanny for the past 11 years and worked with children of a wide range of ages (2 months 8 years), but I specialize in infants and toddlers. I love taking my charges outdoors for adventures or finding 'treasures' in the dirt. When the weather isn't up for it, I do art projects, building 'castles' inside or put up a fairy tree to invite the fae into the house (they bring good luck). Since I am a writer, not only do I read a lot myself, but I love to read with the children. Depending on the age, it's beneficial for them to discuss the book or story for comprehension or just for fun to get a different take on the stories. Children have a wonderful way of seeing things in a different light. They are always in the moment and can teach us so many wonderful things, things we have forgotten as adults. I am bi-lingual and love to introduce my language and culture to the children. The sooner you teach the little ones a different language, the better and the easier it is for them to learn it. Little kids' brains are like sponges; they soak up knowledge in an amazing rate. I also hold a degree in criminal research from Berlin/Germany; and degrees from UNO in English Literature and Victorian History.
