Booked by 10 families in Niwot, CO

Hi - my name is Kadi. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I am primarily looking for a full time childcare position at this time though! I enjoy being a nanny/babysitter. I have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since high school. My responsibilities have included transporting children to and from activities, preparing meals and snacks, crafts, and tidying up the home. I am also available to work as a household assistant. I can complete food prep, clean, and run errands. I have a large family so I have always been surrounded by children and have been assisting my family members with childcare since I was young, but especially during the pandemic. I enjoy animals, but have the most experience caring for dogs and cats. I am happy to work with families who have either or both dogs and cats. I am open to other animals, but I have limited experience outside dogs and cats. Due to personal family matters after my last nannying job, I had to take some time off to focus on said personal matters. I am now looking forward to entering back into the childcare world, and I am looking forward to hearing from you to discuss my experience! Thank you!

Booked by 15 families in Niwot, CO

Hi! My name is Dalia, and I’m excited to meet you! I just moved to Boulder from LA to get my Master’s in Speech Language Pathology at CU. I’ve been working with kids since I was 16 years old, and I studied child policy in college. I have been babysitting for 10+ years, and I have experience with a range of ages, including under 1 year-olds. At this point, I’ve worked with over 20 different families, and I’ve developed great relationships with many of them and their children :) I’m happy to help with schoolwork, and I love arts and crafts. For older kids, I love to bake treats with them, and I’m happy to cook for your family or your kids! I know CPR, some Spanish, and am fluent in American Sign Language. I have a cat and have lived with a dog, so I’m comfortable around pets, and happy to take care of them as well!
