A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Riley, I just graduated from Clemson University with a bachelor's in Psychology. I am eager to work with and take care of children because that is my future career goal. I love helping others and have been taking care of children all of my life whether it be nieces and nephews or even being a nanny to children in my neighborhood and town. I also love meeting new people and families and doing the best I can to be a good role model and a caring, loving person to everyone I come in contact with. Let me know if there are any questions you have, I will be more than happy to answer!

A little bit about me
Hello, I am Mary. I have a Montessori type approach to childcare and seek to help children communicate appropriately for their age range. I feel strongly that respect is a key element in raising a child and feel that modeled behavior is the most effective. Therefore, apologizing for any mistakes I as an adult may make is highly important in their development. I would label myself with a gentle parent type of approach (not to be confused with permissive parenting).

A little bit about me
I'm a master’s-level ECE educator with over 15 years experience supporting babies, toddlers, and young children. I specialize in high-quality, intentional care nurturing social-emotional development, curiosity, and a love of learning through play, nature, and meaningful experiences.
I stay current with best practices in child development and believe strong emotional regulation, communication, and secure relationships are the foundation for all learning. I support children in understanding their feelings, problem-solving with peers, and building confidence in a warm, respectful environment.
With a background in forest school and Reggio-inspired education, I prioritize outdoor exploration and hands-on, open-ended activities that spark creativity and support developmental milestones.
I am seeking families who value high-quality care and are excited about a nanny share, offering premier care, rich social experiences, and shared cost. Send me a message for more information!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Annika. I grew up in Steamboat for most of my life, and currently attend CU Boulder as a Junior in Strategic Communications. I have loved working with kids as long as I can remember and have experience helping my mom in her classroom, babysitting, playing with cousins ages 0-15, as well as working and coaching numerous active summer camps in my town. With each of these roles, I not only watch kids, but I enjoy getting to connect with them and helping them grow in fun and unique ways. Whenever I get a chance I love anything outdoors such as skiing, hiking, and biking, staying active, hanging with friends, and staying creative.
