My name is Tonique, I live in New York and I’m a college student with over 5 years of childcare experience working with children ranging from infants to grade-school age. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for children in many different stages, so I’m comfortable with everything from feeding, playtime, and bedtime routines to school pickups, homework help, and keeping older kids entertained. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with the children I care for and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and able to have fun. As a college student, I’m responsible, organized, and dependable, and I’m always happy to help with homework, reading, school projects, or keeping kids on track with their after-school routines. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and communicate openly with, so I make reliability and communication a priority. I’m also big on keeping kids engaged beyond screens! Depending on their age and interests, I love planning arts and crafts, reading together, going to the park, exploring outdoors, playing games, or coming up with creative activities to make our time together enjoyable. My personality is warm, patient, energetic, and caring, while still being able to provide structure and maintain the routines and boundaries parents have established in their home. Whether a family needs regular childcare, after-school help, date-night coverage, or an occasional sitter, I’d love the opportunity to get to know families and see if we’re a great fit!

Hi! My name is Julie and I live in Boulder County. I spent six months working as an Assistant Preschool Teacher at The Learning Experience in Westminster, and am CPR-certified. I have experience working with children from 6 weeks to 15 years old. I have been a nanny for three different families within the last two years. In June 2024, I graduated from a performing arts school in New York City where I studied numerous styles of dance and acting. Each time I provided childcare, my ultimate goal is to meet each kid where they are at. I believe structure, compassion, and a nurturing environment are key. When I'm not caring for children, I am in the studio training and auditioning for dance productions and modeling jobs. My favorite style of dance is ballet!

Hello! My name is Marcella. I’ve been a graduate student in New York for the past two years, and am now home in Atlanta for a couple of months. I am eager to offer you childcare while I am here! I have lots of experience working with children, including babysitting and nannying toddlers and young children, as well as caring for an infant on a couple of occasions. (I am very open to and looking for more infant-care experiences — I am attentive and can follow your directions.) I taught yoga, meditation, reading and writing to preschoolers, and worked with kindergarteners up through high school at an outdoor camp in Colorado. I worked with fourth-graders in an academic setting and led a youth group for teens and tweens. I love and respect kids and enjoy working, playing with and caring for them. I would love to help ensure your children are happy and cared for while you are at home, away at work, or otherwise in need of time to yourselves. Please reach out and we can talk more about what you are looking for.
