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!

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.

Hello! I'm Camilla, and believe it or not, I started babysitting when I was 10 years old for a family with 3 children, at the now-unheard-of rate of 50 cents an hour! I'm a LOT older now, and moved back to Colorado in 2010 after spending 25 years in NYC working in children's publishing. I'm not a parent myself, but am young-at-heart, fun, funny, and caring. I am a devoted aunt to a niece and nephew in Amherst, MA, and my friends' kids all love me and think I'm one of them. I'm a responsible, mature adult with a long career history in children's books. I love reading aloud to children of any age, and am comfortable with kids from newborns to teenagers. The safety and happiness of your offspring are my top priority. In my free time I enjoy cooking and baking, trying new restaurants, traveling, pop culture, and All Things Apple. During the pandemic I worked with just two long-term families, where everyone was super-cautious, and I am fully up-to-date with all COVID vaccinations and boosters. I do require that any families I work with going forward are also vaccinated and boosted, and I prefer not to work with families who choose not to vaccinate their children. I routinely work with infants, and my priority is keeping them safe. You can trust me in your home and with your family because in addition to a background check through UrbanSitter, I have a SafetyPIN. SafetyPIN does a broader background check and a behavioral screening. My SafetyPIN is BUV1P8EK, and you can learn more and verify it at getasafetypin.com/verify. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Because my time is in high demand, I don’t accept babysitting jobs for weekends (Friday through Sunday) from new clients without a one-hour in-person interview, for which my standard hourly rate based on the number of children applies. This is to make sure that I am a good fit for your family, and to lessen the chance of last-minute cancellations. I will happily waive the interview requirement for non-peak-time bookings, though I do prefer to at least speak by phone before accepting new clients. Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll give my services a try!

Flexible with scheduling and great care!

Hi! My name is Julie and I live in Boulder County. I spent six months working as an Assistant Preschool Teacher at The Learning Experience in Westminster, and am CPR-certified. I have experience working with children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. In June 2024, I graduated from a performing arts school in New York City. Each time I provided childcare, my ultimate goal is to meet each kid where they are at. I believe structure, compassion, and a nurturing environment are key. When I'm not caring for children, I am in the studio training and auditioning for dance productions and modeling jobs. My favorite style of dance is ballet! Thank you for considering me as your new babysitter. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

We used Julie twice during our Boulder visit and I can't recommend her enough! She was excellent with our 8 year olds and they are already asking when they can see her next. Very professional, friendly and fun! So glad we found her.
