Zoe 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Golden, CO

I am a mental health therapist (LCSW) looking for part time/date night/weekends jobs to supplement my income and connect me back to the joyous work of supporting youth. I am adventurous, empathetic, responsible, and proactive. I am 30 years old and have been working with kids and pets since I was probably about 14. I have worked as an after-school nanny, completing school pickups and activities, as well as a babysitter fo a variety of ages. I worked as a mother’s-helper for a mother who had twins, supporting her with household cleaning and meals, as well as taking care of her 3 year old daughter. Previously, I worked as a behavior therapist for kids with autism and as a paraprofessional in an elementary school for kids with behavioral and developmental disabilities. Last, my most fun position was as an adventure camp counselor leading kids on various outdoor activities and camping trips. I have a lot of experience! In my free time (and if I can overlap it with work) I love to spend my time outdoors snowboarding, hiking, camping, biking, hanging in the park or walking my dog. I'm very active and love to stay busy and aim to encourage play, adventure and calm in the kiddos I work with. I also have lots of experience caring for dogs (and cats a little). Currently, I have a 7.5 year old german shephard/husky mutt and have dog-sat for many people. Last, I have a reliable car that I don't mind driving kids in to and from activities. Look forward to connecting!

I am looking for a nanny position or a House manager as well. My rate per Kid depends on what will be required to do. It starts at $25 per hour and for Nanny share $32 per hour, payment in Cash preferably. I am looking for long term at least 1 year, 40 hours guaranteed per week, vacations, sick days, holidays as well. Right now I am available from 7am-4pm or 4:30pm from Monday through Friday. I live in Westminster and would love to find a Job close to this area, but I am open to commute for a 30 min drive. I have a reliable car I can use to drive the kids, I have taken kids to libraries, museums, playdates, to the park. I can speak either English or Spanish and I am comfortable with either. Looking to start soon, and currently on a Full Time Job, that I would like to give 1 week of notice.
