Having spent the last 20 years as an elementary school teacher in Connecticut, I am very qualified to care for young children, and I enjoy spending time with them. I am a very capable, healthy, and responsible non-smoking adult. I am also CPR certified for adults, adolescents, and infants. I own my own reliable vehicle and have a clean driving record, so I would also be able to assist with picking up your children from school or after school events. I enjoy biking, tennis, skiing, and golfing, and I also like to sing, play the piano, and play board games and card games. As a matter of fact, when I come to care for your children, I will be bringing a large bag of "kid favorite" games. I know many vacation properties don't always come equipped with age appropriate games for younger children, so I have my own collection to Read more share. I am also a mom, so I am very patient and experienced at caring for infants and toddlers and doing all the things moms do like shooting hoops in the driveway, putting on band-aids, cheering children on at special events, and caring for the family cat or dog. I would likely be able to accept your offer on a moment's notice, so don't hesitate to call on me for a last minute event or date night. I would be willing to travel out as far as Vail West or Aspen, or any places in-between including Avon, Edwards, Eagle, Glenwood, Carbondale, Basalt, or Snowmass. I am also available on the weekends, but times may vary, so please reach out to me for availability.

Tammy watched our 2 year old for three days while we were on a vacation in Copper Mountain. We have used a few different sitters on that vacation and she was the best by far! NOT a kind of sitter that spends time on the phone while your kid watches too much TV. She was very engaged: building forts, doing online music class, taking him out to the village to play in the snow/ice-skating. She was really wonderful!

Tammy was an excellent caregiver to our daughter while vacationing in Breckinridge. Highly reliable and extremely professional. I would recommend her to anyone I know. We look forward to seeing her again for future availability.

Tammy is FANTASTIC! She watched our two kids and puppy while we took the day to ski. It honestly felt like she was a family member and we loved her! Highly highly recommend!
