"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Katie $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Katie and I am looking for a 6 week summer nanny job in Boulder, CO (June 2-July 15). I currently attend CU Boulder and I will be a junior in the fall. I have two younger sisters, volunteered at Footsteps Childcare Center throughout my high school career, and was a full time nanny last summer. I can provide transportation if needed, help with light housework, and feel comfortable cooking. I know summer time can be stressful for working parents, so hopefully I can take some of that stress off your hands! Available to house sit, dog sit, or watch the kids for date night as well.
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!
