Booked by 1 family in Mead, CO

Hi! My name is Olivia! I am a full time nanny looking for weeknight and weekend babysitting jobs! I am available Thursday & Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays and Sundays! I have several years of childcare experience. I worked for the YMCA teaching swim lessons for four summers. I have nannied for 5 different families with children ranging from 9 mo-8 years old. I have also worked at two different preschool facilities! I worked for the preschool and after school program, so I worked with babies as young as 6 weeks to kids as old as 12! Every job i've ever had has been childcare because it is work that I genuinely enjoy! I am CPR certified! I worked at a pool for years so I also have previous first aid training. I am COVID-19 vaccinated! I have reliable transportation and I am very reliable when it comes to showing up to work! If you have any questions about me or my experience feel free to ask! I can also provide a list of references if you would like! I look forward to hearing from you!

Emily $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Emily. I am originally from Texas, and here's a bit about my time in childcare! I began babysitting for families in my neighborhood at 12. In high school, I started a nanny-share group for middle school teachers, where a friend and I would pick up 15-20 elementary students and supervise them until their parents finished teaching. I started nannying for two families when I got my driver's license. I would pick up the kids from school and spend the evenings helping them with homework. Over the summers, I would nanny all day, and occasionally, in the evenings, I enjoyed taking the kids to the park, zoo, and museums. Kids need to get out of the house sometimes. When I started college, I realized how much I missed working with children. To reconnect, I took a student assistant position at the Child Development Research Center on campus, where I worked with kids from 3 weeks to 5 years old. I spent my first year in the infant class and then rotated between toddler and preschool classes for my second year. Although I had to leave due to scheduling conflicts, I continued to babysit and nanny for the families I had met there. Now, I have some other fun facts about myself! After I graduated, I went to Walt Disney World, where I participated in the Disney College Program. I am the biggest Disney fan, and I loved my time there. After my program ended, I moved to Loveland, Colorado, to live with my brother. I am learning to like the snow and love the mountain views; the weather is much nicer here than in Texas. I enjoy coloring and reading during my relaxation time. I also like cooking and baking. I am very open and honest and like to maintain good communication.
