Booked by 56 families in Longmont, CO

Hi there! 👋🏻 I’m a Registered Nurse and have over a decade of hands-on nanny experience, currently available for occasional babysitting. With my background in nursing and psychology, I provide attentive, safety-focused care while creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities - all while having fun! 😊 I graduated in 2017 from the University of Vermont with a BA in Psychology and minor in Nutrition and most recently in 2025 with a BS in Nursing. I’ve worked clinical and non-clinical roles with children including roles as a Wellness Coach, live in au-pair, and counselor.

“Marley was wonderful. She connected with our 4-year-old right away - which is no small feat, as she can be a bit slow to warm up to new faces. Marley was punctual, helpful around the house, and just genuinely lovely to have around. We would absolutely welcome her back anytime.”

"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!"
