I am nineteen years old, looking for new experiences. I am a funny, sweet, opening, kind human. The main reason why I want to start helping with kids is because I wanna be part of helping a new generation grow. I've had a lot of experiences that no others should live through, so if I have a chance to help with other I would love to. I have been babysitting for over five years. First starting with my sisters kids and then going to other families. I have experience with kids from ages newborn to twelve year olds, I worked with kids with adhd, autism, anger issues and kids with trauma. I have CPR certifications and first aid training.

She did a great job with the kids. Fed them dinner and put them to bed smoothly. I’ll definitely be booking her again.

Hi! My name is Hanna and I'm 26 years old. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I moved to Boulder in 2022 from San Diego, CA. I grew up in northern California and moved to SD for school, where I graduated from SDSU. Over the past 11 years, I've had a wide range of experiences working with kids and have grown such a love for caregiving and creating a fun, safe space for little ones. I was a summer camp counselor for three years, where I developed camp curriculum and led children ages 5 to 12 in fun games, crafts and activities. I've also had approximately three years of experience as a respite care provider, where I gave in-home care to dozens of kids with varying developmental disabilities, ranging from toddler-age to late teens. I have enjoyed being a babysitter and full-time nanny for individual families in recent years as well, where my responsibilities have included diaper changes, driving to/from school, playtime, settling sibling squabbles, etc. I especially love getting creative with art projects, playing outdoors, and helping with homework/lessons. I am also comfortable with light cooking and cleaning around the house, running errands, house sitting, and caring for both cats and dogs. I have no allergies to animals and would be delighted to walk, feed, and/or play with your furry friend.

Hanna is AWESOME!!! When she was with my kids, she was very engaged with them! She showed patience, care, and love to my boys. Did things exactly as I said. I was very grateful for meeting her! Will definitely hire her again when she is available!

I have over seven years of professional childcare experience and hold a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have worked extensively with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, providing attentive, developmentally appropriate care tailored to each child’s individual needs. My experience includes supporting early developmental milestones, establishing consistent routines, and creating engaging educational activities that promote cognitive, social, and emotional growth. I am well-versed in infant care, including feeding, diapering, sleep routines, and tummy time, toddler care such as potty training, language development, and guided play, and school-age care including homework support, structured activities, and age-appropriate responsibility building. Throughout my career, I have prioritized safety, nurturing relationships, and positive guidance. I maintain open and professional communication with parents, offering regular updates on progress, behavior, and milestones. I am dependable, organized, and committed to creating a supportive environment where children can thrive.
