A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Gwen! I am a previous and current part-time infant nanny looking to provide my support to another family. I have completed professional development through Colorado Shines, and I also have years of hands-on caregiving experience with my niece and nephew since infancy (now 11 and 13), including overnight care. I was also a nanny in college for several years, which started when the child was 2 months old.

I spent years working in higher education and nonprofit environments. I realized the parts of my previous work I loved the most were the relational and supportive aspects, including helping people, building trust, creating stability, and being someone families could rely on.

I may be newer to returning to childcare professionally, but I take the role seriously and I'm intentional about continuing to learn and grow in the field.

Additionally, as a long time volunteer with NoCo Humane working with dogs and cats, I will be comfortable with your furry, as well.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I am a previous and current part-time nanny to two infants, a boy and a girl. I also have taken 14 hours of PDIS Colorado Shines classes to become qualified as a daycare assistant teacher and have completed my finger printing with CBI. My secondary area of study for my B.S. is in Human Development and Family Studies. In college, I was a nanny for five years for a little girl I watched starting at 2 months old. I also regularly took care of my niece and nephew since they were born until they became old enough to babysit and stay home alone. While I am not looking to work with teenagers, I also have experience working in higher education for college recruitment, working with high school students and their families.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love having music on whenever possible, including children's music, classical, and music with a good strong beat that kids can move their bodies to. I like setup a pots and pans drum set. I enjoyed that when I was a kid. I like doing activities where they can utilize their senses, which sometimes means getting dirty a little with paint, dirt, and water. I also enjoy the nurturing side - a cuddle, rocking to sleep, giggling together, and just chatting. When permissible, I like going to library reading events and walks to get some fresh air and engage with others of similar age.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Enjoying the family and being able to provide them peace of mind while caring for the person they love most. I also enjoy helping with child development while playing. It feels important to be contributing to the process. I also find a lot of importance to keeping to the schedule that has been set for the child so that bedtime goes earier for all.

My experience with special needs children...

I do not have experience with special needs children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

It's hard to name one because it's the little things I enjoy. Recently I was working with a child who is on the verge of standing and he pulled himself up pretty far and just didn't make it. He cried a second and then he tried again and I enjoyed that early tenacity in a 9 month old. He also learned the word "baby" and we had some sweet cuddling moments listening to lullabies while drinking a bottle before bed. Those are all the special moments for me.
