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.

“She was on time, very communicative, and incredibly chill and easy to talk to. I felt very comfortable having her here and will definitely hire her again!”

Hello!!! My name is Deanna and I have been a Colorado resident for 10 years; I have been watching children for 20+ years! **I am the current nanny in a share so am only looking for occasional or evening gigs, thank you** I am comfortable with children as young as newborns and as old as teenagers. I have assisted in raising at least a dozen babies to toddlers and beyond. I am comfortable with one or two children up to a whole classroom of children. I have worked in individual family's homes, after-school programs, pre-schools, been an au pair internationally and have watched many children at birthday parties and on family vacations. When it comes to child care, there is almost nothing that can surprise me or that I haven’t seen or experienced before. I am caring, compassionate, consistent, dependable and fun. I grew up in a family where both parents worked full-time and therefore, I like to be a good role model for children because the sitters I had in my childhood were huge influences on me and I would like to be the same positive influence. I believe in consistency, teaching independence that fosters growth and new ideas, and learning through play. I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and adventure and of arts and crafts. I recognize that children are the future and believe it’s important to teach them valuable skills such as manners, empathy and kindness to carry with them throughout life. I look forward to learning more about you and your family :)
