Booked by 30 families in Lafayette, CO

Hi! My name is Julie and I live in Boulder County. I spent six months working as an Assistant Preschool Teacher at The Learning Experience in Westminster, and am CPR-certified. I have experience working with children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. In June 2024, I graduated from a performing arts school in New York City. Each time I provided childcare, my ultimate goal is to meet each kid where they are at. I believe structure, compassion, and a nurturing environment are key. When I'm not caring for children, I am in the studio training and auditioning for dance productions and modeling jobs. My favorite style of dance is ballet! Thank you for considering me as your new babysitter. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Julie was very communicative, arrived on time, and got a good report from my two kids! I had to leave the house pretty quickly after she arrived but she was very confident and ready to step in, which was super helpful!

Hello my name is Amparo! I am bilingual, born in Ecuador and currently living in Broomfield, CO. I just graduated from Naropa University’s interdisciplinary program and am currently on the path toward getting my masters in clinical psychology and childhood development. I have been a qualified babysitter since 2015, and have CPR and First Aid Certified training. I am quite flexible with my schedule. I believe in trust being earned, therefore I take my responsibilities in caring for your child very seriously and aim to meet all their needs. I believe that the early years of a child’s life are vital as the stepping stones to their successful present and future. If you are interested in knowing more about me, including recommendations and qualifications, feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Amparo was great! Very professional, confirming with us before the appointment and updating us when our daughter was asleep. And most importantly, our one year old daughter seemed to really like her! She took to Amparo quickly and easily and they both went straight for the books.

Hi there, I am currently taking a break from the corporate world and would love to spend more time with children for an occasional or short term nanny situation. I enjoy spending time with kids of all ages and especially spending time outdoors, arts and crafts, and making messes in the kitchen. Happy to take the kids to the playground, pool, museum, etc. I am extremely responsible (pristine driving record, have booster and front facing car seats) and would also be happy to focus on learning if that's of any interest (two degrees in math). Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I'm currently a college student who recently stepped away from full-time work to focus on education, and I'm excited to find part-time work doing something meaningful—helping care for kids and pets. While I’m new to professional childcare, I’ve spent lots of time around babies and toddlers in my circle of family and friends, and I genuinely love being part of their world as they learn and grow. I’m especially close with my teenage cousin I’ve known since he was an infant. I'm also super comfortable helping out in a busy household! I'm used to managing the chaos that comes with two energetic Siberian huskies, so I'm no stranger to keeping things calm, organized, and running smoothly. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to lend a hand wherever needed. If you’re looking for someone responsible, patient, and truly invested in your child’s and or pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to connect!
