Booked by 4 families in Boulder, CO

Hi! My name is Hanna and I'm 26 years old. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I moved to Boulder in 2022 from San Diego, CA. I grew up in northern California and moved to SD for school, where I graduated from SDSU. Over the past 11 years, I've had a wide range of experiences working with kids and have grown such a love for caregiving and creating a fun, safe space for little ones. I was a summer camp counselor for three years, where I developed camp curriculum and led children ages 5 to 12 in fun games, crafts and activities. I've also had approximately three years of experience as a respite care provider, where I gave in-home care to dozens of kids with varying developmental disabilities, ranging from toddler-age to late teens. I have enjoyed being a babysitter and full-time nanny for individual families in recent years as well, where my responsibilities have included diaper changes, driving to/from school, playtime, settling sibling squabbles, etc. I especially love getting creative with art projects, playing outdoors, and helping with homework/lessons. I am also comfortable with light cooking and cleaning around the house, running errands, house sitting, and caring for both cats and dogs. I have no allergies to animals and would be delighted to walk, feed, and/or play with your furry friend.

Hanna is AWESOME!!! When she was with my kids, she was very engaged with them! She showed patience, care, and love to my boys. Did things exactly as I said. I was very grateful for meeting her! Will definitely hire her again when she is available!

Alizee $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Alizée (pronounced Ah-lee-zay)! I'm a 21 year old from California and a recent Rollins College graduate who recently moved to Boulder. I'm bubbly, energetic, and creative, and I love spending time with kids. I have been babysitting kids of all ages for over five years now. Whether we're making crafts, baking, exploring outside, playing games, or simply chatting, I enjoy creating a fun, positive environment where kids feel safe to be themselves. I speak both English and French and love cooking, hiking, skiing, Pilates, yoga, and spending time in nature. I also love traveling and learning about different cultures. I studied abroad in New Zealand and recently spent the summer in Europe studying French in Lille and fashion in Copenhagen. I'm happy to help with homework, meal prep, arts and crafts, outdoor play, bedtime routines, household tidying, and caring for family pets (I’m a big animal lover!). This is my first time using this app so I would be more than happy to provide references. I’m dependable, responsible, and excited to become a trusted part of your family's support system!

I am always very pleased with the care my 4-year-old son receives from Elizabeth. She consistently demonstrates professionalism and trustworthiness. Not only does she ensure my child’s safety, but she also keeps him happily entertained with creative activities. She is able to take direction well and stays within the guidelines that we give her. It’s clear Elizabeth genuinely cares and has a natural ability to connect with children. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable and engaging babysitter!
