More About Me

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

Farm Intern-Wolf Ridge Environmental Science Camp. I was in charge of planting, weeding, and harvesting on a small 2 acre farm at a summer camp. I would also lead classes at the farm to campers age 5-14.
Naturalist-Lowry Nature Center. I guided visitors through the park and answered questions pertaining to the local flora and fauna. Used education animals (snakes, turtles, frogs) to assist in lessons.
Lead Teacher-Nativity Early Learning Center and The Little School. I worked throughout multiple classrooms anywhere from infant-5th grade. Responsibilities vary between age groups but I'm good at meal prep, art projects, leading lessons, helping with homework, focusing on meeting developmental milestones and improving social/emotional skills.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

-exploring nature and identifying plants/animals
-art projects
-science experiments
-field trips

Sophie K. - Seeking Work in Boulder

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Boulder, CO: Sophie K.

Hello, my name is Sophie. I deeply enjoy being able to support children and their families. I find a lot of meaning in building genuine connections with kids and getting to learn and grow with them. I have past experience working as a nanny and as a wilderness backpacking guide for youth. I am currently a graduate student in a Mental Health Counseling program, pursuing a career as a therapist.

Some of my strengths are that I deeply prioritize being present, attuned, and emotionally supportive for those that I care for. I am reliable, consistent, playful, kind, compassionate, and highly organized. I am well-versed in healthy communication and conflict resolution, and I love practicing and sharing these skills.

Some of my personal passions include improvised dance, playing and performing guitar, singing and songwriting, drawing and painting, crafting jewelry, sewing and fashion, and henna and face painting. I also enjoy improv theatre and offering other creative games.

Michelle R. - Seeking Work in Boulder

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Boulder, CO: Michelle R.

I've enjoyed working with kids in a variety of capacities for about 20 years. I've worked as a nanny, babysitter, swim teacher, & an intervention specialist with kids with Autism. I prioritize working with clear communication & reasonable structure. I break tasks down into manageable steps for teaching & try to "always catch the good" by emphasizing what's going right instead of just pointing out what needs to be adjusted. My grad program teaches a person-centered approach to first meet kids where they're at in order to help them get to where they want to go. I enjoy listening to Dr. Becky Kennedy's podcast "Good Inside" which is based on the premise that every child is good, even when they're behavior feels challenging; It's our job as their adults to help them navigate tough situations & emotions with compassion. The best learning comes from actively engaging in the world around us with curiosity & learning goals can easily be woven into natural experiences throughout the day.
Hope F. - Seeking Work in Boulder

Full-Time Nanny Available in Boulder, CO: Hope F.

Hi! My name is Hope Freeman and I am currently a first grade teacher in Colorado Springs. My partner and I are moving up to Boulder because he's going back to school, and with the transition I have been looking for positions where I can continue to work wit kids but where I would have more flexibility for fun and playfulness with them! I previously worked as a lifeguard and assistant manager so I am CPR certified and First Aid trained. I have extensive babysitting experience for my own younger siblings, family friends, neighbors, and teachers, as well as a lot of pet sitting experience as well. I have worked as a live-in pet-sitter am honored that so many families have trusted me with their children and pets. I have experience with children of all ages as well as cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and bunnies. I can also help supplementally tutor kiddos as well with my teaching experience.
Katya F. - Seeking Work in Boulder

Live-In Full-Time Nanny Available in Boulder, CO: Katya F.

I am loving, nurturing, introspective, emotionally attuned, compassionate, and relentlessly curious. Working with young children is my calling, and I have been doing it in one capacity or another since '08, and in preschool settings since 2011. I have a B.A. in early childhood education from Naropa University and am familiar with a range of pedagogies and educational theory. I have been inspired by such authors as Daniel Siegal, Bethany Saltman, Micheal Mendizza,, and Paulo Freire. My journey has led me to a pedagogy rooted in deep respect, mindfulness, freedom whenever possible, and firm boundaries whenever needed. I take a needs and connection-based approach to discipline, viewing behavior as communication. I believe children construct their knowledge through hands-on experience held within the context of trusting relationships. With love, truth, and the inherent goodness of the child as my North Star I aim to foster joy, grit, mindfulness, compassion, and a love of learning.
