OUR STORY

Meet Jimie, owner and founder of My Boulder Babysitter + Nanny, LLC, a locally owned childcare service founded in Boulder, Colorado in 2012. What began as a small, word-of-mouth babysitting network has grown into one of the most established and trusted childcare services in the Boulder area, known for its personal approach, carefully vetted sitters, and long-standing relationships with local families who value reliability, discretion, and consistency.

​

With more than two decades of experience working with children, the service was built from real, hands-on childcare experience — not from an app or franchise model. Early work as a babysitter, nanny, camp counselor, youth coach, and teacher’s assistant, along with a Montessori education, shaped the independence, responsibility, and attention to detail that still guide how the service operates today. After moving from Chicago to Boulder to attend the University of Colorado, long-term relationships with local families naturally led to the creation of My Boulder Babysitter.

​

Unlike larger platforms or newer services that focus on volume, this service was built slowly and intentionally, with the goal of providing families with dependable, professional care they can feel confident about inviting into their homes. Every sitter is personally screened, and every family is reviewed before joining. The focus has always been on quality over quantity, strong communication, and maintaining a level of trust that many families find difficult to find elsewhere. In 2020, the service expanded to include My Boulder Nanny Agency, offering the same thoughtful, hands-on matching process for long-term nanny placements.

​

Families who choose My Boulder Babysitter are often looking for a more personal, concierge-style experience than what typical booking platforms provide. Applications, home evaluations, and placements are handled directly, allowing for careful matching and a higher level of accountability. This approach has allowed the service to grow almost entirely through referrals from families who appreciate the consistency, professionalism, and high standards that have defined the service since the beginning. Today, the goal remains the same — to provide trusted, high-quality childcare for Boulder, Denver, and Front Range families who want a service they can rely on for years to come.

​

This is a very personal business, and I believe the best childcare relationships come from open communication and mutual trust. I welcome questions, concerns, and honest conversations at any point in the process, whether you are deciding if the service is the right fit, or have been part of the community for years. My goal is not to be the biggest service, but to maintain one that families feel comfortable with, confident in, and happy to return to again and again.
