Mallory $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Mallory! I graduated with a bachelor's degree from Grand Canyon University and am currently working on my Master's degree in Nutrition. I also work as a Nutrition Assistant for UCHealth. I am offering childcare. During my undergrad program, I worked for BusyBees, which is a babysitting company in Arizona. I worked for them for about 3 years and have babysat for 50+ families. I have watched children ranging from 5 months to 12 years old. I absolutely love it! A little about me is that I love reading and running. So whether your little one loves to run around and play or prefers to sit and read a book, we will have a great time together!

Robin $21 per hour for 1 child

My name is Robin . I was born in a close knit small farming community in California, where I resided for 45 years. This is where I raised my 3 children. I was a stay at home Mom\housewife I was very involved in their after school sports. As I have been with my Grandchildren. I feel I am a natural at caregiving. I am friendly, always ready to chat or lend a helping hand. I am dependable, and able to handle multiple tasks on a daily basis. I have experience with senior care as well. After moving to Colorado I became a Vet Tech, and it came very natural to me (my lifelong passion).

Holland $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m 23 and a native to Colorado. I love to travel, listen to music/concerts, and art. I spend as much time possible outside, whether that’s on my tpaddle board, taking my dogs on hikes, or simply taking a walk with a great playlist. My purpose in life is to help young minds and hearts grow. Encouraging curiosity in nature, science, art, culture while supporting emotional development is my passion. Beyond hobbies and passion I have many years of experience working in child care and long term nannying. For the last year I’ve been working in an Early Childhood Development Center in the 2 year old classrooms and most recently in the Kindergarten classroom, while earning my CPR training, AED training, First Aid training, and Level 2 Credentials in Early Childhood Education through Colorado Shines. I’ve managed meal times, outside activities, age appropriate/ milestone meeting activities, collaborated with parents on assessments, and kept a clean,sanitized, and organized classroom based off Colorado Regulations and Laws. Prior to working in a center I nannied long term for two families with children age ranging from infant- 10 years old. While working for my families with older kids I helped with errands, household work, homework/tutoring, after school activities, social events for school and casual hangs with friends. I look forward to joining your village :)
