Hi there! I was a stay at home mom for 15 years, and loved raising my 3 kids. They are grown now, and I’ve realized how much I miss being around children. I was also licensed with the state and ran an in home daycare for many years. I’m comfortable and experienced with all ages. I have dogs and absolutely adore them, and all other animals as well. I’m a Colorado native and love all of the nature this state has to offer. In the summer, you’ll find me paddle boarding or camping and hiking in the mountains. In colder weather, I love to cozy up by the fire with a good book. I’d love the opportunity to watch your little’s or pets. Please feel free to reach out!
“I’m happy to be the first to write a review for Holly. My son took to her right away, showing off all of his cars and trucks. They played, read tons of books and ventured outside to our neighborhood playgrounds. She made sure to cleanup the toys after they were finished which was much appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Holly for future sitting needs! ”
