My name is Emery, and working with kids is my passion! I’m currently in school part time at MSU perusing my degree in Early Childhood Education, but for the past year I have been working at a child care center downtown! I love creating a trusting, fun, and inclusive environment for kids to be themselves while also following their routine! I have worked with kids since I was 12, both in babysitting and in multiple formal childcare settings. I have worked with kids ages 0-12 and am fully trained and comfortable working with any age group. I have also been a professional nanny for the past 2+ years, including cooking/cleaning, pet care, transporting the kids, and overnights.
I have always loved children, and I have always taken care of the children in my family and 10 years ago I started professionally. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED and Advanced Child Care trained. I do playful activities with the kids, so they can develop new skills, stimulate cognition and motor coordination. I help with all the routine that parents need, and I adapt to the routine and methods chosen and applied by the family, because it helps the need to have an organized routine to reduce stress and anxiety, then they will have the habit of performing activities according to a routine they already know. All this time taking care of children, I learned that I love dealing with them even more than I imagined, they are always so grateful for everything we've done, they show us so much gratitude in the form of affection and love that makes it all so special. Every child is very different and I give them space so they can feel comfortable being themselves, being respected, loved and feeling safe.
I recently left teaching to pursue caring for and educating children on my own terms and my own schedule. I have 10+ years of childcare experience working as a nanny, and 15+ years working as a tutor and teacher. I offer childcare services, tutoring services, enrichment services, and developmental support for physical, occupational, speech, and feeding therapies. I have experience working with children from infancy to 17 years old. I am CPR and First Aid certified through the Red Cross. I do not smoke, and I have my own transportation which can be used for your service needs. My bachelor’s degree is in Deaf Education. My specialization areas include Middle Level Mathematics and Language Arts. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I have 15 years of experience working with children with special needs, including: autism (ASD), deaf, blind, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and more.
“Allison has worked with my son who has a disability for a year now. She is reliable and very patient with my son. Allison isn’t afraid to ask for help when she’s unsure of what to do in a situation. She not only watches my son, but has taught him developmental skills.”
Hi everyone! My name is Kate and I'm a recent Cal Poly graduate with over three years of experience caring for children ages 1–15. Most recently, I spent the past year as a nanny for two children (ages 11 and 14), helping with school pick-ups, homework, transportation to sports and activities, errands, meal prep, and creating fun, engaging experiences throughout the week. I'm dependable, energetic, reliable, and love building strong relationships with the families I work with. I'm also comfortable with light household tasks and have my own car. I have 2 dogs and a cat myself, so I love being around pets! Fun Fact: I was on my college dance team for 4 years! I've danced and been active my whole life, so I like to engage kids in that as well. I also have two younger sisters. I'm looking for part-time work any day of the week, ideally on a consistent week-to-week schedule. And I can also do night time for date nights, a night out, etc. – whatever you need! I can provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting with you!
I was born and raised in Jacksonville Florida and recently made the big move to Denver! I've worked at daycares, learning centers, elementary schools and at family homes as a nanny through college, so I am well versed in taking care of children in different platforms/ for different needs. I'm trained in pediatric first aid and CPR certified. I also have taken and completed courses in child development and nutrition. I'm so excited to meet your kiddos! I think I’d be a great fit for you and your family. Prices are not set in stone and I’m willing to change and talk through them with you. Please call or text me at [removed] or email me at [removed] or the email given with the account.Thank you so much for the opportunity and I hope to see you soon.
