Hi Family! My name is Bailey and I come with an extensive amount of childcare experience with all ages. With over two decades of experience, one of my favorite things in life is to spend time with children and help them learn. My all time favorite role though is being an auntie to my 5 nieces and nephews. I went to college for Intercultural Studies and Elementary Education and have my teaching credential. I started babysitting at a very young age (10 years old to be exact- different times!) and gathered extensive and vast experience throughout the years including full-time nannying, teaching, sports camps, church nurseries, Special Olympics, summer programs, and a dip into baby consulting. The ages I have worked with span from newborn (out of the hospital) to 15 years old (basically just a glorified Uber driver for one family :) ). Since I have worked with so many age groups, I would love to work and watch any child of any age. I love to have fun, be silly, be creative and play with the children. At the same time, I have good discipline and patience for children when needed. I am very respectful of what the parents want for their children and how they parent them. Since I went to school for teaching, I have taken some child development classes and I love putting what I learned into practice! I was a competitive swimmer for 15 years year round and would love to take children swimming if that is something you wanted. I also have been CPR/First Aid certified countless times and was once lifeguard certified and trained. I have a car and would love to run any errands or take the children anywhere. I am very experienced with driving and am an extremely safe driver. I do not mind doing light housework or fixing the children meals, and also pets are not a problem for me. My hours are flexible as well. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank You, Bailey

Hello! My name is Emma, and I’m from Chicago. My first language is English, but I’m also fluent in Italian. I have 3 years of experience working with children ages 1–13. Over the years, I’ve also gained experience with all types of animals, from dogs and cats to ferrets and snakes. In addition to childcare, I can cook, run errands, and handle other household tasks. I have a valid driver’s license and a car which is registered and insured to me.

Charlotte $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm 21 and have 5 years of nannying experience, starting part-time and moving to full-time at 18. I've cared for children aged 6 weeks-9 years, including those with developmental delays, mild autism, and an infant on oxygen. I hold CPR and first aid certifications and can provide references from previous families. My approach to childcare is gentle and firm, considering the children's thoughts and feelings while maintaining leadership. I emphasize outdoor play, reading, and Montessori practices over screen time. I'm seeking a job with around 25-30 hours a week, Monday-Friday.

Jenna $20 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with kids for a few years now. I have worked as a tutor, a daycare worker, and currently I work at a recreation center in Loveland. I also currently mentor a 9-year-old kid in school. I am very passionate about childcare and plan to become an elementary school teacher. So, more childcare experience would greatly help!

I'm passionate about supporting families and providing reliable childcare. My ten years of experience have allowed me to develop my skills and knowledge in early child development. I'm patient, calm, and creative, and I love playing games with children, from educational games to outdoor sports. Whether it's through verbal communication or the parents' preferred method, I keep open lines of communication. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm happy to help with cooking, meal prep, carpooling, travel, crafts, and supervising swimming. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and have completed coursework in early child development. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid. I'm confident I can provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for your children.
