Hi,I’m Brooke Carter

Hello, my name is Brooke Carter I was born in Junction city, Kansas but raised in Parker, Colorado and I absolutely love it here. I grew up in a very loving and caring family that loved me no matter what, even if I had did something wrong. I am CPR and first aid certified courtesy of the Red Cross. I am currently a student in the Douglas county school district. I am so very excited to start babysitting your pets and kids/siblings. This will be my first time babysitting outside of my neighborhood so please bear with me while I figure everything out. I love writing and singing songs. I love to draw. I love to learn new things. I love listening to music like pop,country,rap,r&b,and hip-pop. I love to play board games and card games. I also love to teach kids new things like how to get your side of an argument without sounding mean.

Thank you. Take care, Brooke.

I’ve always loved working with kids, I’ve been babysitting since middle school! Later on I worked at a swim school for a little over a year, it was rewarding to be able to inspire them and watch them grow in their own unique ways. I want to be able to encourage their interests and support whatever passions they have as well.

Im a huge creative, and I enjoy doing artistic activity’s with kids a lot. Though I also don’t mind getting dirty either! Since I’m younger I’m able to keep up with them a lot more, and I honestly enjoy whatever games they come up with.

I’m looking to gain experience as a Nanny! I have an open and flexible schedule, cooking experience, tutoring experience (specifically in English), and a license. I can start working ASAP and am likely available to continue into the school year.

  • Music

My name is Alyssia, I'm 18 years old as of June 2nd. I was responsible for raising my two nieces for the last 5 years. Their parents often worked night shifts and were separated. I started helping since they were a couple weeks old. I got used to cooking, cleaning up after them, entertaining, bottle feeding, reading, teaching and more until the family got enough money to move and put their kids in elementary school. During my last two years of high school I often was asked to babysit my friends siblings and pets. I have two cats of my own and grew up with two large dogs, an older lab and a young husky and one small Maltese who's in her senior years. I graduated high school May 20th 2024, and am going to college September 2nd. I love children and animals so much, and would love to help anyone out. I'm hoping this extra cash will also help me pay for my education and apartment expenses. I just moved to Lakewood a few weeks ago alone, from Colorado Springs, so I'm new to the area. But I'm willing to put in the extra work for any family who asks for extra help.
