Hi! I'm a nanny and (pre-pandemic) elementary/middle school substitute teacher, with a wide range of experience with children of varying ages, needs and abilities. In addition to nannying and babysitting, I've been a preschool teaching assistant, swim lesson instructor, lifeguard and tutor. I pride myself on building loving and respectful relationships with children while also keeping them safe, healthy and supporting them as they learn to be full humans. I look forward to meeting you and your littles, not-so-littles and teens! *Currently booked up for summer/fall ‘22 but please do not hesitate to reach out if you’re in need evenings/weekends/overnights, backup sitters or pet care* ***In order for me to enter your home, all eligible adults and children over the age of 5 must be vaccinated for Covid-19. This is non-negotiable.***

Hi my name is Renee and I am new to Denver from Sydney Australia. Back home I am a licensed Registered Nurse, having worked in many specialties over the past 7 years. Alongside nursing, I have worked as a nanny/ babysitter for the past 9 years, caring mostly for the newborn - 4 year age group. Duties within these roles have included engaging in creative play within the home, driving to playgroup and activities, walks to the local park and pool, excursions to the zoo, along with house duties relating to the children including cooking, laundry and general tidying. I love being outdoors any chance I get, leading a fit and active lifestyle. I am also comfortable with all pets, particularly dogs and love to include them on my outings!

Hello! My name is Grace, I just recently graduated from Colorado State University and am currently pursuing an education to get my Esthetician license. I am looking for some extra work, and what better way to spend my time doing something I love! I have been surrounded by children my whole life, and have been babysitting since I was just 15 years old. From neighbors to family members, and family friends I have watched children ranging from all ages. I am very reliable and have a safe vehicle if driving is needed. I hope to meet you and start helping you enjoy the little moments without having to worry about the kiddos being taken care of!

Grace showed up early, and ready to work! She cleaned our airbnb and had great attention to detail. We are hiring her again and highly recommend her.

I am a licensed elementary school teacher with 8 years teaching a variety of grade levels k-5. I grew up in Fort Collins, CO and began working with children about 18 years ago. I was a nursery director caring for multiple children ages 0-12. I received my bachelors of science in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University and my Master of Arts in Teaching elementary education from University of Northern Colorado. I am crafty, I enjoy baking, sports, dogs, being outside, board games, music, and more. I care about all needs of the child and have developed a large collection of tools for working with children. I am CPR certified, a safe driver, and have experience working with youth with special needs. I hope you will find that I am the passionate and thoughtful caretaker you need, whether it’s a short term, date night, or regular part time summer work your kids will be in safe hands.
