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.

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.
Hi, I'm Alex. I am almost 16 years old, but my age doesn't count for my intelligence and maturity. I can cook, bake, or make basically anything with a recipe. I am in mostly honor classes, so I can help with school work if needed, Especially English/Literacy, Math, or Music classes. I have been babysitting family friends kids since I was 10 years old, ages ranging from only a few months old to 8 years old, Now ranging from a few months old to tweens. I personally think babysitting is a great experience for someone my age. I hope I'm your choice to babysit your kid(s).

I have 5 months of professional experience working with kids in both large groups and one on one. Additionally, I have been doing non-professional childcare since I was very young.
My family has owned both large and small dogs throughout my entire life. I love them dearly, but I am also very comfortable around cats and have spent a lot of time working with them as well.
I am in my junior year of high school and more than capable and willing to help with homework and education. I am also conversational in American Sign Language.
