Hi! I am a 19-year-old caregiver. I have 5 years of experience working with children of all ages, from babies to grade-schoolers. I've worked in a nursery and daycare, as well as being a full-time nanny for a 7-year-old boy! I'm creative, enthusiastic, and empathetic, with a passion for engaging kids through crafts, music, and fun games. I am a Musical Theatre major at CU Boulder and absolutely love entertaining kids! I'm also very comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. With my first aid certification and reliable transportation, I'm ready to provide excellent care for your family. Let me know how I can help, and I look forward to meeting you!

“I am always very pleased with the care my 4-year-old son receives from Elizabeth. She consistently demonstrates professionalism and trustworthiness. Not only does she ensure my child’s safety, but she also keeps him happily entertained with creative activities. She is able to take direction well and stays within the guidelines that we give her. It’s clear Elizabeth genuinely cares and has a natural ability to connect with children. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable and engaging babysitter!”
Anna $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!
Katie $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Katie and I am looking for a 6 week summer nanny job in Boulder, CO (June 2-July 15). I currently attend CU Boulder and I will be a junior in the fall. I have two younger sisters, volunteered at Footsteps Childcare Center throughout my high school career, and was a full time nanny last summer. I can provide transportation if needed, help with light housework, and feel comfortable cooking. I know summer time can be stressful for working parents, so hopefully I can take some of that stress off your hands! Available to house sit, dog sit, or watch the kids for date night as well.
