Child caregiver

Hey! My name is Emma, I am a 24 years old child caregiver, and I hope to be an experiential science teacher. Before covid, I did a teaching fellowship with Denver Public Schools teaching math, after which I moved to Australia to research birds. Covid brought me back home though (Annapolis, MD) where I have been nannying/ at-home teaching for a 7 and 9-year-old since March. I am now moving back to Colorado, though to the mountains this time, before starting graduate school in August at the University of Washington to get my masters in science education. I am passionate about equitable education, the outdoors and the environment, and encouraging curiosity and empathy in children.

Emma worked with our family from March 2020 to present. Specifically, she tutors and cares for our two elementary school girls (age 8 / 2nd grade and age 10 / 4th grade). Emma is dependable, reliable and kind. Moreover, with her background in teaching, she was invaluable to us when our school closed last spring to shepherd the girls through their assignments, ZOOM calls, and homework. She tutored the girls where they had challenges, as well. She is more than your average babysitter. We will be sad to see her move on to the next chapter in her life in Colorado, but excited for her at the same time. Anyone who hires Emma will be very, very lucky!

I have lived in the beautiful small town of Durango since the age of five and continue to find myself falling in love with it everyday. As an individual, I consider myself an outdoorsy, loving, personable person. I grew up in a large tight-knit family, which is where my love for children began. At the age of 13, I began to babysit for other families besides my own, with children ranging from newborns to 13 years old. I simply love children and enjoy helping them learn and grow as individuals. I can also help with running errands or taking care of pets.

Certified Elementary Teacher Seeking Part-Time Babysitting/Nanny Position

(1)
My name is Kelly. I am 28 years old and working with children is my passion. As an elementary school teacher and summer nanny, I have years of experience working with kids within a variety of age groups, backgrounds and learning settings. Most recently I was a first grade teacher. I have been working with kids since age 15. My mother co-directed an after-school program and summer camp in my hometown where I would work after school. I am a 2015 Regis University graduate with a degree in education, special education, physical education and sociology. During college, I spent my summers working for an outdoor adventure camp, Avid4Adventure, based in Denver. There I taught kids different skills that included things like kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, mountain biking and rock climbing. My hobbies include spending time with my husband, outdoor activities, reading and crafting. I've been caring for kids in the Durango area since 2017 and would love to work with your family next!

Spanda is a very caring, skilled, pleasant, hardworking, smart and creative caretaker. She brings a lot of energy, enthusiasm and gentle sensitivity to her work. She brings a lot of skill and experience already, but she also learns quickly what she needs to know in new situations. She loves caring for children and brings a lot of energy, joy and creativity to her interactions with them. I highly recommend her!

Hello! I have 7+ years of experience babysitting children of all ages. I have two younger half siblings, ages 3 and 7, and I have learned a great deal while caring for them. I used to be a dance teacher for kids of all ages and abilities (I was an intern for around 5 years in middle/ high school, and a substitute teacher while in college for around 2 years). I recently moved to Durango after graduating college to pursue outdoor job opportunities. I also have current First aid and CPR certifications. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to meeting your family!

Sarah showed up on time even in a snow storm that brought 16 inches overnight without even blinking. She was amazing with my 4 children. She showered them in attention and even took them out to play in the snow. We were in from out of town and we hired her from care.com to watch my little ones while we skied. She was absolutely what we would have wanted in a sitter for my kids. She cooked for them and even left the house cleaner than when we left. We would definitely recommend her, and we will use her again when we come back. She was flexible and caring. She was everything we would ask for in a sitter

Anne was very sweet and energetic with our kids, who are 2 and 6. She brought crafts one day that they loved and had no issue with taking them outside or to the pool. We loved that she was previously employed as a lifeguard and felt very comfortable leaving our kids with her. She was flexible and was even willing to travel a little farther away to another town for our last day of skiing. We would definitely hire her again!
