Booked by 10 families in Shawnee, CO

Hi, my name is Paula and I’m a caring nanny with 4 years of experience—2 years in the United States and 2 years in my home country. I have enjoyed this experience working with children and creating a fun and engaging environment for them while I learn a lot. I have a big experience taking care of three kids (7,5,1 y.o) this experience in particular has been enriching my skills and my capacity of handling different challenging situations like daily duties , playtime for them, stressful times and overall my capacity to be mindfulness and remain calm wich has been the key for my daily routine. I’ve really learnt from my time as a babysitter the importance of stimulation for kids that’s one of my motivations to encourage kids to play outside, going for walks and just spend time in the nature . Another very important aspect is listening, I always try to be very attentive to the things children want to express or communicate . Communication is key between adults and I I’m an active person who enjoys playing volleyball, exploring the outdoors and discovering the little wonders of the world, I love animals and am happy to include them in the activities. I’m available during evenings, nights, and weekends, making it easy to accommodate your schedule. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing, getting them ready for bed , or taking them out. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Paula was the best!! Helped our family out last minute she was very communicative and my 2 year old son absolutely loved her! Highly recommend, thanks Paula!

Booked by 95 families in Shawnee, CO

Hello, I am Cyn. I am 35 years young, originally from South Florida. I relocated to Denver in January 2017 and I absolutely love it here. *Fluent in Spanish* Friends would say I am an adventurous, passionate, hilarious soul. I love music, food, animals, nature, and kids! I began working with children and families in 2009. In Florida, I worked as a youth program director at the YMCA, an assistant teacher, and a long term (8yrs) nanny for 2 families. Since moving to Denver, I have had the pleasure of working with over 100 families. I enjoy the outdoors and creative outlets the most. I paint, play, do crafts, read, and love to implement those activities into daily life. I consider myself a role model for kids, and have been told by peers and employers alike that I have a dynamic personality. I have my own reliable 4x4 transportation, with a squeaky clean driving record.

Super communicative and helpful! She allowed me to be so at ease while traveling as I knew my pets were in such good hands
