A little bit about me
I'm 27 years old, a life long artist of all mediums, and a lover of physical sports, as well as creative gavels top games. I am excellent at multi tasking, was a lifeguard at just 16 so I have baked in knowledge of CPR, swim safety, and taking command during emergency situations big and small. I love traveling and helping kids maintain their wonder of discovering the world while also being safe, and trying to keep them off screens. I grew up as the eldest cousin on both sides of my family, and baby sat growing up consistently. I studied communications, art, and psychology in university and outside of it for my own edification, so making sure I can do right by others and myself is important to me.

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Meg! I’m a 22-year-old from New Zealand currently living in Aspen, Colorado. I have several years of experience working with children through nannying, babysitting, ski instruction, coaching, and holiday programs, and caring for kids is something I genuinely love.
I’ve worked with children of all ages through my roles at Aspen Skiing Company and Cardrona Alpine Resort, where safety, patience, communication, and creating a fun, positive environment were always the priority. I love building strong relationships with children and helping them feel confident, supported, and comfortable around me.
I’d describe myself as energetic, reliable, caring, and very hands-on. I enjoy keeping kids active and engaged, whether that’s outdoor adventures, creative activities, helping with routines, or simply making day-to-day life fun and easy for them.

A little bit about me
Hi everyone! I’m Dylan, an 18-year-old student at Indiana University (studying psychology), and I’m available for babysitting this summer.
I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and have experience with kids of all ages, from infants (diapers, bottle feeding, routines) to older kids. I also spent two summers working at Ramapo Country Day Camp with kindergarten girls. I’m very comfortable adapting to each child’s personality and needs, whether that means keeping them active and engaged, helping with structure and routines, or just being someone they feel comfortable around.
I don’t drive, but I’m very comfortable navigating the city and getting kids where they need to go safely.
Parents I’ve worked with often say they appreciate how I connect with kids individually while still being organized, dependable, and structured.

A little bit about me
Caring for children is something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. I've spent the past couple of years caring for children from newborns to age five, and I always try to bring a patient, creative, and positive energy into everything I do. I'm currently a college student studying Early Childhood Education and it would be more than an honor to take care of your child.
I love keeping kids engaged through outdoor play, board games, and fun educational activities that help them learn while still having fun. Communication is really important to me, and I always make sure to keep parents updated in the way they prefer. I also respect and follow each family's household rules. Supporting families and watching children grow and thrive is something I truly value.
