Juliana $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Julie! I am a US Army Veteran. Throughout life I have taken a strong calling regarding working with children. I currently live in Fountain, CO. The military brought us out here and it’s a lovely state. I’m originally from Chicago and I try to visit family as much as I can. My favorite thing about working with kids is seeing their development throughout the stages of infancy into toddler development. I believe in creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for all the kiddos I have the pleasure of meeting! I am more than willing to answer any and all questions that you may have! I hope we are a great match and have the opportunity to support your child’s success.

I am a 27 year old nurse, colorado native. I work full time in the ICU but I am looking for a little side gig that’s lower stress where I can take care of children or pets. I have been a nurse for 2 years and I was a CNA for 6 years working primarily with geriatric population. However, when I was 19-20 I did work with young children in a Head Start job. I also have experience caring for children within my family ages new born-5 years old.
“Ariana was a awesome sitter. I needed a sitter very last minute and she was able to help out. She was amazing with my 2 month old daughter. My daughter loved her!! I would recommend her 1,000 times over and will definitely hire her again when I need a sitter. ☺️ ”
