$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!

Hello! I’ve been caring for infants and toddlers for over 20 years in both nanny and preschool settings, and I truly love what I do. Most of my experience is with ages 0–3, I’m ECT certified, hold a Level 3 Colorado Shines credential, and keep up to date with CPR, First Aid, and Universal Precautions. Helping little ones grow, learn, and discover the world is what i enjoy most about my job. I love cheering on a baby’s milestones during tummy time, introducing toddlers to new skills, and fostering creativity through art, cooking, and playful projects. I believe kids learn best when they feel safe, supported, and excited to explore. I’m also very comfortable with pets and happy to help with walking, feeding, and care. At home in Niwot, I enjoy cooking, baking, drawing, reading, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to get to know your family and help create a safe, fun, and creative environment for your little one!

Booked by 56 families in Lyons, CO

Hi there! 👋🏻 I’m a Registered Nurse and have over a decade of hands-on nanny experience, currently available for occasional babysitting. With my background in nursing and psychology, I provide attentive, safety-focused care while creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities - all while having fun! 😊 I graduated in 2017 from the University of Vermont with a BA in Psychology and minor in Nutrition and most recently in 2025 with a BS in Nursing. I’ve worked clinical and non-clinical roles with children including roles as a Wellness Coach, live in au-pair, and counselor.

Marley was wonderful. She connected with our 4-year-old right away - which is no small feat, as she can be a bit slow to warm up to new faces. Marley was punctual, helpful around the house, and just genuinely lovely to have around. We would absolutely welcome her back anytime.
