"She was amazing with my kids. They have allergies and we have some diet restrictions in the house but we have never had an issue with anything she's made for us and it was always delicious! She is still such a valued member of our family. The only sad thing was that she wasn't able to relocate to Germany with our family so we ended up professionally parting ways. Still love her though and so do the kids."

"Kat was a nanny to my four children. 2 boys and 2 girls. She was just a dream. My youngest was only 4 or five months and my oldest was 10 or 11. She made it so obvious not only to me and my wife, but to the kids how much she cared about them. She would cook dinner for us before we got home from work, she was rarely ever sitting. She was playing some kind of game with one or more of the kids while also take care of a baby. She took them to places like parks, museums, the zoo! I was really sad to see her have to move on, but I think whoever ends up hiring Kat to be their next nanny will definitely be well off. Me and my wife are both surgeons so we were often on call. She was great about stepping up and putting in extra hours when we had to go in suddenly, and she always gave us plenty of notice if she needed to do something or go out of town!"

"She was an absolute delight to have in my home. I have 2 girls. When she started my youngest was 1 and my oldest was 4. She would cook, and clean, and interact with the girls in great ways! She found out foods I liked to eat and when she made food for the kids, often their would be dinner waiting for me when I got home. Unfortunately I moved away for work otherwise she would have been my nanny for much longer. Whoever hires her will be very happy with her!"

More About Me

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

I was a nanny for ten years: Five as a live in nanny for a family with 4 kids. 2 1/2 years as a live-out nanny for a family with 2 kids and 4 as a live in nanny four 3 amazing kids.
I have spent the last year doing small part time babysitting/nannying gigs for people needing short term care.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Playing pretend, puppet shows, going on walks, going to the park.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is being able to provide a loving, caring, and safe environment for the kiddos while their parents are away. They need to know that even though their parents have to work, they wanted to leave them with someone that will actually take care of them while they are gone.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with a child with down syndrome, a child with autism, and a child with dyslexia.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Watching the kids learn something they have been trying to get right for the first time!

I am 48 years old. I was just recently let go from my job in January and still trying to find a job. I enjoy working with little kids. Watching them play and using their imagination is amazing to watch. I have taken care of my nieces kids and my cousins little boy and for some reason little kids just think I’m pretty neat. Sadly I have never had kids of my own but I would protect those with all I had.

Babysitter Available in Fort Morgan, CO: Angelique S.

Hi! My name is Angelique and I grew up with two younger siblings and lots of dogs. I am used to being in a loud chaotic household so loud households don’t bother me! I love children and I loved “playing house” when my parents weren’t home. Cleaning up, cooking, and just helping stressed out parents is my main goal because I know my parents were always so incredibly stressed out without a babysitter.
