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!”
Hello! My name is Grace, I just recently graduated from Colorado State University and am currently pursuing an education to get my Esthetician license. I am looking for some extra work, and what better way to spend my time doing something I love! I have been surrounded by children my whole life, and have been babysitting since I was just 15 years old. From neighbors to family members, and family friends I have watched children ranging from all ages. I am very reliable and have a safe vehicle if driving is needed. I hope to meet you and start helping you enjoy the little moments without having to worry about the kiddos being taken care of!
“Grace showed up early, and ready to work! She cleaned our airbnb and had great attention to detail. We are hiring her again and highly recommend her. ”
Hi - My name’s Julia and I’m currently a live-in nanny of a 3yo and a 4yo. I am offering child care, pets care and household services. I love seeing the children development, I was a teacher for 9 years and worked with children from 1,5 to 11 years old. I am very creative, proactive, respectful and responsible. I also love pets, I have a dog, two cats and a lovebird back in my hometown.
“Flexible with timing, very sweet with my 20mo daughter. Would hire again!”
I am a licensed elementary school teacher with 8 years teaching a variety of grade levels k-5. I grew up in Fort Collins, CO and began working with children about 18 years ago. I was a nursery director caring for multiple children ages 0-12. I received my bachelors of science in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University and my Master of Arts in Teaching elementary education from University of Northern Colorado. I am crafty, I enjoy baking, sports, dogs, being outside, board games, music, and more. I care about all needs of the child and have developed a large collection of tools for working with children. I am CPR certified, a safe driver, and have experience working with youth with special needs. I hope you will find that I am the passionate and thoughtful caretaker you need, whether it’s a short term, date night, or regular part time summer work your kids will be in safe hands.
Hi! I’m Regan. I love working with children and extensive experience babysitting for various age groups. My background includes working in a school nurse’s office, where I developed strong skills in care and communicating with both children and parents. Additionally, I’ve spent five rewarding years coaching gymnastics for kids ages 2 to 15. I believe it’s essential to be fully engaged with children and prioritize meaningful interactions over screen time. I encourage exploration through play, fostering creativity and growth in a fun environment. I have reliable transportation and am comfortable around pets. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning and running errands as needed.
