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!

I work with children every day and am a certified teacher assistant in three school districts, as well as a lead in after-school programming in Poudre Valley School District. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to creating a positive and engaging environment for kids.

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!
