Sitter in Boulder, Colorado

I love little ones. I grew up taking care of my 5 cousins from the day they were born (now ages 10, 9, 8, 7 and 5), as well as baby sitting so many other children. I’ve been an on-call nanny for two kiddos ages 5 & 10 for the last four months. I grew up in Los Cabos, Mexico and I am fully bilingual, and my childhood was something special. I am a former competitive gymnast spending up to 30 hours a week in the gym – I began coaching at age 12. I’ve never not helped take care of children. Being an athlete and coach I learned how to work with kids in a way that encourages them to work with their needs, creativity, and passions as well as learn, but all in a safe and secure environment. I grew up using my imagination and the outdoors with a combination of my personal hobbies (photography, drawing, baking to sell, swim, dance, music, and inventing homemade contraptions…) to fill my days, as I got older screens were introduced. I seriously discourage screens, unless parents think otherwise, but most of their time with me will be off all devices if possible. We can draw, hike, dance, play outside, climb trees, do makeovers and hair (I studied braids years), build swords… I will encourage a love of imagination with drawing, art, writing, music, and whatever they enjoy doing. Sharing keys of self-discipline along with respect, kindness, good manners is just part of what I will bring to your family. I will also do my best support and care for your babies as individuals. In challenging moments, I try to approach the child in a nurturing way with compassion and calm communication. I do not reward good behavior because it is expected, but positively reinforce it. On the other hand, I’m tough. I do not tolerate disrespect of any kind, aggression, or violent behavior to any one, ever. Especially between siblings. Nor will justification for said behavior be accepted. They will be held accountable for their behavior and shown alternate ways to handle the situation. I know that I will be an asset to your family and would love to meet you! Booking An Appointment: Call me through this website and I'll respond ASAP!
