A little bit about me

Hello! I am a SAHM to almost 2 year old twin boys. I would love the opportunity to take your kiddos along with us on our adventures. We have a zoo membership, multiple museum memberships, and spend lots of time at the park or on nature walks (1000 hours outside is very important to me!) I understand your apprehension around your nanny having 2 young kiddos as well but I can assure you that I can handle it. We just moved here from Colorado where I was nannying a 1 year old girl (5 months younger than my boys) and they were all best friends. I would love to find that again and help provide affordable childcare to another family. Let’s meet at a park, let the kids interact, talk about your expectations and see if it will be a good fit.

"Colleen is a wonderful soul who is great with children. She connects with children by asking questions, making them feel safe and comfortable, and letting them be themselves. She is very attentive and very capable of handling any situation. She naturally makes just about every situation a learning process. Her belief that outdoors is the best environment for children is aligned with mine so that my children were not sitting around on devices all day. She kept the kids busy and took them on adventures almost every day. Colleen was truly a wonderful childcare provider. My kids still miss her and I miss her!"

More About Me

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

I have now been a nanny for 3 families. A 1 year old girl when I was in college. I was a live in nanny for a year and a half for a 3 year old boy. And most recently I watched a 1 year old girl in addition to my twins M-F from 8-5. I also am the oldest of 6 kids and have been the built in babysitter my whole life.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Art projects, age appropriate activities, sensory play, cooking/baking, nature walks. field trips to the zoo, museums, splash pad, parks and so much more! We stay active and I’m a big believer in 1000 hours outside and no/very limited screen time.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Supporting the parents values and wishes and making sure that the child is safe and feels loved.
