Matthew $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm currently a college student who recently stepped away from full-time work to focus on education, and I'm excited to find part-time work doing something meaningful—helping care for kids and pets. While I’m new to professional childcare, I’ve spent lots of time around babies and toddlers in my circle of family and friends, and I genuinely love being part of their world as they learn and grow. I’m especially close with my teenage cousin I’ve known since he was an infant. I'm also super comfortable helping out in a busy household! I'm used to managing the chaos that comes with two energetic Siberian huskies, so I'm no stranger to keeping things calm, organized, and running smoothly. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to lend a hand wherever needed. If you’re looking for someone responsible, patient, and truly invested in your child’s and or pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to connect!

Anna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Anna, and I am a 22 year old originally from Fort Collins. I am currently a student at CU Boulder but I have pretty flexible hours outside of class. My work experience includes babysitting, nursery work, after school childcare programs, and providing therapy to autistic children. I have experience with a variety of abilities and disabilities. I am a Registered Behavioral Technician and have taken courses in emergency first aid. I have the most experience with children ages 8 and under, but am open to all ages of kids. I am an experienced pet-sitter, but do have a mild allergy to cats. I am very organized and detail-oriented, ensuring any routines or rules are followed while making things fun!

I have a lot of experience with having a toddler and infant at the same time. I was a Preschool Assistant Teacher at The Academy ECE(Feb 2017-August 2017). I was a Group Leader with the YMCA Childcare Program(March 2016-Feb 2017). My Junior year of high school I was an after school nanny to a developmentally disabled 14 year old. I love engaging with kids and helping them learn/grow. I enjoy arts and crafts, singing, reading books, board+card games, dramatic play, hide and seek, riding bikes, etc. I can take kids on outings to the park, museums, zoo, library for story time, etc. I know of a lot of fun kid places! I’m very responsible, trustworthy, and nurturing. I've done many trainings through the YMCA and The Academy such as CPR, fire safety, bloodbourne safety, child abuse, social and emotional, etc. Let me know if you have any questions, thank you!
