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. 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!
My name is Celeste. I am available for part time, one time or for occasional jobs. I love art, music, and creativity as well as the outdoors. I am originally from Boulder and love animals. I enjoy reading, doing arts and crafts and going to the park or on outtings with children. I have experience mainly with 0-10 years of age and taking care of pets as well. Thank you
“Celeste was great and really helped out family or and took great care of our son. Highly recommend.”
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!”

"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!"
