I have seventeen years of experience working with children. I have worked in daycares, babysat children at my house and worked as a nanny. I have one more year left of school and I will have my degree in ECE . I like doing crafts with kids and reading to them. I am CPR certified. I have worked with ages: infant to thirteen years.
I’m a retired public school special education teacher living in Lakewood. My references are impeccable from my recent nanny placements, including infant care. My CPR and first aid certifications are current and have all Covid related immunizations.
Hi! I’m Beatriz, an experienced caregiver based in the Denver area. I have experience as an au pair caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, as well as classroom experience. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality. Whether we’re reading, doing arts and crafts, playing outside, or exploring music, I love finding ways to make our time together fun and engaging. I’m comfortable helping with meals, bedtime, and everyday routines. My classroom experience has helped me explain things clearly, encourage learning through play, and support children as they build confidence and independence. I value open communication with parents. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I’d love to connect with families looking for occasional babysitting or date-night care!
I’m kind and caring and follow instructions, I do my service to the best of my ability whether it’s watching someone’s fur baby or watching over someone’s home.
With a background as a previous certified facility dog handler, growing up with a family dog, and providing occasional care for friends' dogs and cats, I am confident in managing pets of various temperaments, sizes, and personalities! As an active individual working from home three days a week, I can offer flexible scheduling to accommodate midday potty breaks and walks. I am committed to providing personalized attention to meet your pet's individualized needs, whatever they may be! Side note: also am marathon training this summer if your dog needs a jog :)
