Jamie $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’ve been caring for infants and toddlers for over 20 years in both nanny and preschool settings, and I truly love what I do. Most of my experience is with ages 0–3, I’m ECT certified, hold a Level 3 Colorado Shines credential, and keep up to date with CPR, First Aid, and Universal Precautions. Helping little ones grow, learn, and discover the world is what i enjoy most about my job. I love cheering on a baby’s milestones during tummy time, introducing toddlers to new skills, and fostering creativity through art, cooking, and playful projects. I believe kids learn best when they feel safe, supported, and excited to explore. I’m also very comfortable with pets and happy to help with walking, feeding, and care. At home in Niwot, I enjoy cooking, baking, drawing, reading, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to get to know your family and help create a safe, fun, and creative environment for your little one!

Mostly every job I’ve had, has been working with kids!! I’ve been a nanny, a preschool teacher for 8 years, and for the past 2, at a high school. I’m a mother of a 16 year old daughter, and an auntie to 3 that I see all the time. They are ages 3, 6, and 7. I always strive to be patient, kind, and understanding. I always want to be thought of as a safe space. I treat the kids I work with like I would want my own to be treated. I am easy going and laid back, reliable, and trustworthy. Also love pets!!

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.

Hello, my name is McKinzey and I have about 4.5 years nannying experience, with several years of childcare/babysitting experience as well and I was a preschool teacher for a time. I was also a professional birth and postpartum doula for nearly 6 years where I cared for many infants and toddlers. I will be starting graduate school in the fall to earn my Masters of Library and Information Science with a concentration in youth services, to hopefully one day become a children's librarian. So I would bring my love of reading and life long learning to the role! I would love to share more and answer any of your questions.

McKinzey was fantastic with our 10-month old! We can’t wait to have her over again!
