Hello, my name is Ava! A little bit about me, is that I am a senior at CU Boulder (attending for Integrative Physiology) and I am from southern Illinois! I have care experience in ages young as three months old and up to thirteen years old. I have been CPR and AED certified. I have a flexible schedule and am able to drive (personal car or family car) the children to school, extracurriculars, and, or play dates. I am also able to help with homework and steer towards enrichment learning activities! I am more than happy to cook and bake for the children and help with any pets and household cleaning and tidying up!
My name is Sienna and I have been a nanny/sitter for the past 10+ years. I am 26 years old and graduated from the University of Denver, with a bachelor degree in marketing and a minor in psychology in 2022. I am CPR certified and have extensive experience working with all ages. I have a ton of references from families in CO as well as from my home town, Bend, OR. I have been working with kids since I can remember! I have 3 younger brothers in which I have been a huge help to my parents. Cleaning up around the house/ diapers/ cooking/baking with them, drawing, painting, going to the park and more. To me, babysitting/nannying is all about the bond I am fortunate enough to have with the kids I am taking care of. I want to feel comfortable within the family, have the kids feel super comfortable with me, and have respect both ways. I am huge on open communication. I would love to hear about your family and share more about me with you!

“Gisselle has been our go-to pet/house sitter for years, and she is absolutely wonderful! We have two dogs and two cats, and she takes such great care of every single one of them. All four are always so excited to see her, and we get to leave home knowing that all of them are in great hands. I would highly recommend Gisselle!”
Hi, my name is Joelle! I am a social worker with 3 years experience with young people aged 1-24 years! I am a former supervised visitation specialist and parent coach who's worked with children in foster care and their biological parents.

I am a pediatric dental assistant with a strong passion for working with children and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. Before working in dentistry, I worked at a special needs office for children, where I gained valuable experience supporting kids with different needs and personalities. I also have a lot of personal experience caring for children. I have an eight-year-old brother who I’ve helped care for throughout his life, and my husband’s parents recently welcomed a baby boy who is now four months old. I spend a lot of time with him and truly enjoy being around children of all ages. I am patient, caring, dependable, and love creating a safe and positive environment for kids to learn, grow, and feel supported.
