Hi! I am a student at CU boulder. I am from Aspen, Colorado. I have been babysitting since basically 13 years old. I love hanging out with kids and can handle pretty much any situation. I lived in barcelona for a semester and have a variety of real world experience. I have babysat up to 5 toddlers at once and although they tend to be upset about their parents leaving its takes a short time for them to settle in with me and they always have a great time!
Hi!! I’m an eldest daughter of three girls! I’ve been taking care of my sisters since around 8/9 years old!! My first official babysitting job was when I was 11 and living on a boat in Alaska and I would babysit two little boys, 4, and 5 on there boat!! I love to ski, and sail! ( I coach little kids in both!) -With that being said I am CPR certified! I have one dog, his name is Gnarly, totally gnarly am I right! I love anything outdoors!!
Hi! My name is Kenzie. I have worked with all ages of children in many different settings- including babysitting, infant child care, preschool, summer camp, and children with disabilities. I have my Early Childhood Professional Level 3 Credential through Colorado Shines PDIS with 1,928 logged hours working with Infants and Toddlers and 818 hours working with children age 8 or younger. I have also been observed by a NAEYC professional in an infant classroom and received a 100% score. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and well trained in diapering/potty training as well. I decided to start babysitting again because I am a college student and a full time job as a preschool teacher is not sustainable for me anymore with my busy schedule. On that note- I love spending time with children and I want to continue to work in childcare. Kids are so much smarter than we give them credit for and I feel like I learn more about the world and myself through working with children. My approach to caring for children is based on conscious discipline, although I understand care is different based on the needs of each child I work with. I am a huge supporter of independence and encouraging children to explore their emotions and environment in a safe way- that is how we learn! I also feel that one of the best ways to entertain and teach children is by playing with them instead of watching them play. Children look up to caregivers, so I always model the behavior I want to see from them. Above all, kindness and safety are the most important things to me when interacting with children. A little bit about my personal life- I am 22 years old and have lived in Boulder for 4 years now. I moved to Colorado from Washington State to get my Bachelors in Geology from CU Boulder. I love spending time in nature, whether that’s rock climbing, backpacking, scuba diving or hiking. Any excuse to look at cool rocks! I live with my girlfriend and my cat, olivine (named after my favorite mineral). I enjoy reading, yoga, and making homemade ice cream in my free time.
Hi, My Name is Aminata Aalyah and I am a student at University of Colorado Boulder studying medicine. I am offering childcare, petcare, and household services. I have been babysitting kids for over five years and I absolutely love it; it’s even inspired me to become a Pediatrician. I have been CPR, Stop the Bleed, and BLS certified 3 times. I am also a licensed phlebotomist. My previous responsibilities when booked have included running errands, cooking, driving, and tutoring. I am comfortable caring for families with dogs, cats, etc.
“Our kids connected with Aminata immediately, which is HUGE! Highly recommend!!!!!”
