I'm an experience-based educator who has been in child & senior care for over 10 years. My degree is in Early Education with a focus on infancy & developmental disabilities. Miss Fairy Poppins is a name a go by, "A wand full of bubbles makes the child calm down". I thrive to encourage those around me to have productive encounters with their environment. I believe in always demonstrating courtesies such as acceptance & active listening. When you take time to recognize and appreciate that which is around you; Life lessons can be found in countless teachable moments. While you are away, your family will feel secure having me care for all that you hold dear: Children, seniors, pets, houses, gardens, you name it. House and Garden sitting: I cared for multiple properties in Eagle County while I lived in Vail. I am also capable of lite house maintenance & cleaning. Pet Sitting: I enjoy and have cared for creatures of all types; Dogs (of any temperament), cats, reptiles, snakes, spiders .... "Just no elephants."
I was born and raised in Jacksonville Florida and recently made the big move to Denver! I've worked at daycares, learning centers, elementary schools and at family homes as a nanny through college, so I am well versed in taking care of children in different platforms/ for different needs. I'm trained in pediatric first aid and CPR certified. I also have taken and completed courses in child development and nutrition. I'm so excited to meet your kiddos! I think I’d be a great fit for you and your family. Prices are not set in stone and I’m willing to change and talk through them with you. Please call or text me at [removed] or email me at [removed] or the email given with the account.Thank you so much for the opportunity and I hope to see you soon.
I have Master's degree in young child education with a Montessori focus, I am certified to work with children 0 to 6 years old and I am most comfortable to work with children newborn to 6 years old, but I have experience with children up to 10 years old. I am an AMI trained Montessori guide and have greatly enjoyed my time with children in the classroom. I went back to school during the pandemic and became a speech therapist. I now specialize in early intervention services. I have worked with children ages 12 mo to 6 years old in a school setting over the last ten years but am now focusing on home care because of COVID risks in schools. I believe in interacting with children as unique individuals, showing them full respect and helping them develop personal independence, social skills, and a true sense of self confidence.
I recently left teaching to pursue caring for and educating children on my own terms and my own schedule. I have 10+ years of childcare experience working as a nanny, and 15+ years working as a tutor and teacher. I offer childcare services, tutoring services, enrichment services, and developmental support for physical, occupational, speech, and feeding therapies. I have experience working with children from infancy to 17 years old. I am CPR and First Aid certified through the Red Cross. I do not smoke, and I have my own transportation which can be used for your service needs. My bachelor’s degree is in Deaf Education. My specialization areas include Middle Level Mathematics and Language Arts. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I have 15 years of experience working with children with special needs, including: autism (ASD), deaf, blind, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and more.
“Allison has worked with my son who has a disability for a year now. She is reliable and very patient with my son. Allison isn’t afraid to ask for help when she’s unsure of what to do in a situation. She not only watches my son, but has taught him developmental skills.”
Hi! I’m Raquel 😊 I’m studying Psychology with a focus on child development, and I’ve been caring for kids for over 14 years — from newborns to school-age children, including twins! Families describe me as patient, loving, and reliable. I truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel safe while having fun. Whether it’s reading stories, doing crafts, or exploring outdoors, I always aim to create an encouraging and positive environment. I’m bilingual (English/Spanish), CPR-certified, and currently work part-time with a baby — I’m now looking to fill the rest of my week with another great family. I would love to bring my experience, warmth, and creativity into your home!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
