In Argentina I have been taking care of children for 5 years and, so I have knowledge in the care and management of children for almost always. I consider myself a super responsible and capable person for the care and well-being of a child! I currently care for two adorable girls, 5 and 7 year old. Among my daily activities are taking them to the park, preparing food or snacks, bathing them and preparing them to go to sleep or sometimes watch movies together (as long as their parents allow me to use the TV or their iPads).

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Emma and I am from Boston, MA. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Colorado Boulder studying strategic communications with a minor in business and art.
I am looking for a part-time child care position during the weekday afternoon and evenings! I love working with kids and have a lot of experience with them!
I took a gap year where I was a live-in nanny in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I took care of one six-year-old and one eight-year-old around the clock. I also provided after-school care for three six-year-olds and an eight-year-old, as well as home school them one day a week. All throughout high school I had consistent babysitting jobs alongside a restaurant job.

A little bit about me
My name is Grace Doherty.
A little bit about myself, I have had recent infant experience. My boss at my current job, (a day program for adults with disabilities in Wheat Ridge), had a child in Oct. 2021 and I have been helping out from infancy to now over 1.5 years old. I absolutely love it!
I have a background in caretaking for over 7+ years ranging from all ages and disabilities.
I am looking for a new opportunity closer to me in Boulder rather than Wheat Ridge due to the commute.
