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!

I'm a college student double majoring in psychology and business. I am home for the summer and looking to babysit/nanny. Iβd describe my personality as detail oriented, diligent, welcoming. I started working with kids when I was a young teen by volunteering at a community nursery but have continued to babysit since. I also volunteered at a library during high-school and assisted with the childrenβs summer reading program and afterschool tutoring while there. Additionally, I volunteered at a local elementary school library. In my spare time, I like to sew, hike, read, bake, roller skate, and spend time with family and friends. One thing you should know about me is I put safety first and value engaging in fun and creative activities with kids.
