A little bit about me

Hello there! My name is Gillie and I am a second year undergraduate student in CU Boulder majoring in psychology. I am looking for a nannying oppurtunity for the summer months from May until August. I have worked with kids for around 5 years now, both in babysitting and in gradeschool assistance setting. In addition, I have completed a birth doula training, which has given me a strong understanding of child development and family support. I am also CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always a top priority for me.
I truly enjoy working with kids, creating a positive and engaging environment, and helping them learn and grow. I would love the chance to support your family!

A little bit about me

I'm a 22-year-old recent biology graduate from SDSU, originally from Boulder, Colorado. I've always had a deep passion for working with children and mentoring young people, which has been a constant throughout my life alongside my love of science. Outside of childcare, you'll usually find me snowboarding, scuba diving, practicing yoga, creating art, or exploring the outdoors. I also volunteer at a local cat adoption center because I absolutely love animals. Right now, I'm preparing to attend graduate school for bioengineering, where I hope to continue my research while staying involved in youth education and STEM mentorship.

"Darby was so lovely to have as a babysitter for our son. She was communicative with us about her availability and would always try to make last minute requests work. Our son loved her and I always felt confident leaving my son with her. She was responsible, fun for my son, and very kind. She also watched our cat on occasion when we would go out of town and she was always reliable with this as well."

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Katie! I've had experience in babysitting for years, but have never received payment because it was for family members. The ages I’ve babysat for range from one through six years old. I recently received my CPR/AED certificate and if not already done so through this website, I’m willing to have a background check! At family/friend events I’m normally ‘assigned’ baby/kid duty so the ‘grown ups’ can have a break… we sometimes will play hide and seek, tag, play with their toys, etc. – whatever the kids want to do (if safe) I’m up for anything! The only downside is that I don’t have a car…so if the kids want to go to the park or do anything that involves leaving the house, these activities need to be within walking distance. My schedule is very flexible and I'm available to start at the earliest opportunity!
