Hello everyone! My name is Kelli. I am an infant-toddler specialist/childcare professional with extensive childcare training. -I am a full-time licensed home daycare provider/owner, specializing in infant-toddler care. :) This is my job 40+ hours per week. -I am currently looking for weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) babysitting jobs at the moment. -I am infant, child & adult CPR, AED, and Basic First Aid Certified. -I am lead infant teacher and lead toddler teacher qualified & have done both, working in two different early childhood learning centers (besides my own). -I also have my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Denver (graduated in June 2024). I'd describe my personality as patient, calm, and kind. I like working with kids because I love seeing them learn (& they teach me so many things too!). One thing you should know about me is I am a gentle and sensitive person, which is why I work well with children.

“Kelli was very thorough and asked questions to better understand our schedule and our kids’ needs. She is very sweet and our kids loved her! ”

I am a 20 yr old gal freshly moved back to the area. I’ve lived in Colorado for about 10 years and am moving back after living in South Dakota for a few years! It feels good to be back and I am looking for work. I have a passion for caregiving of all kinds. So, I offer childcare services, pet sitting, house sitting (plant sitting) and basic chores/errands. Whatever is needed. have experience with kiddos ages 0-5 yrs. I worked at a daycare as a lead teacher for 3 years. Baking, science experiments, outdoor exploration and activities, as well as arts and crafts are my specialty. I can get down with whatever craft activities are being wanted done! If I am mixing child and animal care the price will increase slightly, so just ask if you have any questions:) I love animals of all kinds, cats dogs, farm animals and I have a little experience with reptiles as well. I can walk, play, cuddle and feed your pets however much needed. Sometimes they just need a buddy to hang with and I can do that! I also have experience in professional housekeeping keeping (used to clean out cabins and air bnbs) for a summer and a half, love cleaning very much! I’m very good at following instructions and getting done whatever is needed to the best of my ability. Willing to drive distance as well! I’m a bubbly/shy person who can meet the vibe just about anywhere, so if you’re chatty I will be right there with you, if you’re more low-key then that is totally fine as well. Just let me know!
