A little bit about me
I love helping manage/guide children and a household to make parents lives smoother and easier. I enjoy having fun with the kids and they love me for it. I listen, treat them respectfully and smile a lot! I love to sing preschool songs and get outside each day. I’m your Mary Poppins without a spoonful of sugar! If you’re interested in a nanny share opportunity starting in March with a 22 month old, please reach out so I can share the details with you. Thanks for considering me. Miss Gwen

A little bit about me
Hi there! I recently returned to Fort Collins, CO to reconnect with my roots- my love for the mountains, seasons, and all things outdoors. Over the past six years, I’ve had the joy of exploring the world through the eyes of children- whether in outdoor play, early childhood education, or emotional development.
As one of five children, I grew up with a deep appreciation for teamwork, creativity, and care. Our family motto was “Safety first, and fun will follow”- a balance I carry into every childcare role. I’m patient, nurturing, and skilled at gently redirecting behavior toward positive choices and engaging activities.
I love creating environments where children feel safe, curious, and free to express themselves. Whether we’re building forts, exploring nature, or working on creative projects, my goal is always to spark joy and confidence.
I’m also a lover of animals, organization, and hands-on learning. The world is still so full of magic- let's go find it!

"Auggie is such a fun person to be around and is very good at reading kids and adjusting to their needs. She not only watched my kids, but also taught them to ski with the patience of a saint!
My kids loved her and miss her now that she is gone! They always had some fun craft that they were proud to have accomplished with “Miss Auggie” and she makes the worlds best sugar cookies!"

Hello my name is Ariya and I have been a nanny/babysitter for around 6 years. I love being creative and any outdoor activities! Child care is something I have always been passionate about especially when it comes to encouraging creativity and creating a positive environment. I grew up with younger sisters and cousins so being a childcare provider is something I have been doing for a very long time. With me as your nanny I will encourage creative and imaginative activities, as well as being a present and nurturing figure for your kiddos.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Raelyn and I am 25! I am relocating to the Fort Collins area come August. I am CPR, AED, and first aid certified. I am a paraprofessional and substitute teacher for my local school district. I am comfortable working with children of all ages!
I prioritize a healthy and engaging educational environment. I believe it's important to let a kid experience a wild and care free life while also holding firm and respectful boundaries.
I have babysat and cared for cousins since I was young. As I got older, I picked up babysitting gigs here and there for many families with children of different ages. I love being someone a family can rely on for safe and responsible care for their children. With that being said, I am comfortable with running errands, cooking, cleaning, transportation, and caring for children with or without special needs.
I am looking for a job that is year round with at least 30/hrs a week at $25/hr minimum. If that is you, I'd love to hear more from you!

A little bit about me
HI! I am 18 years old and a future Early Childhood Educator. I have worked with kids infant to 12. My experience consists of schools, daycares, and at home childcare. I absolutely adore all kids and have experience with special needs as well. Somnething I like to say is that I am not a nanny or babysitter I want the kids to know I am there friend. I dont want them to think the only reason I am there is because it is my job. Its more than a job to me. I am passionate and hard working and I love to advocate for those who are unable to advocate for themselves such as kids!

Nanny Avery
"Avery was wonderful with our newborn, 2, and 4 year olds. She was very helpful around the house and very reliable and trustworthy. We went on vacation with her twice and she made traveling with the kids so easy, especially with our newborn. We relocated so we had to lose her but we miss her everyday!!"

They loved her and would ask for her all the time. She is engaging, fun, trustworthy, caring and a pleasure to have in our home. We were so sad when we had to say goodbye. Really can’t recommend her enough!!!"
