Katie Boulder
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Katie and I am looking for a 6 week summer nanny job in Boulder, CO (June 2-July 15). I currently attend CU Boulder and I will be a junior in the fall. I have two younger sisters, volunteered at Footsteps Childcare Center throughout my high school career, and was a full time nanny last summer. I can provide transportation if needed, help with light housework, and feel comfortable cooking. I know summer time can be stressful for working parents, so hopefully I can take some of that stress off your hands! Available to house sit, dog sit, or watch the kids for date night as well.

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!

We used Julie twice during our Boulder visit and I can't recommend her enough! She was excellent with our 8 year olds and they are already asking when they can see her next. Very professional, friendly and fun! So glad we found her.

I am currently a college freshman and attending the University of Colorado Boulder, I am studying Integrative Physiology in hopes to go into the medical field or dental school. I am from a tiny town in south Colorado and have 2 sweet littles sisters and so many baby cousins and absolutely love kids and have tons of experience with babysitting, cleaning etc. I am very organized and keep everything very clean and I work super hard. I also live on a ranch so I have plenty of experience with every type of animal. I can be pretty flexible and I hope I can be a great asset to an amazing family.

"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!"
