 Faith | Hi! 🙂 My name is Faith Cebula. I am 27 years old, born and raised in WA state. I made the move out to Telluride fall of ’23 and I am so grateful to be here. The last few years I have been moving around to various locations, working seasonal gigs. This has brought me to Spain, Michigan, New Jersey, Utah, and now Colorado! I have hundreds of hours of childcare experience. I was a nanny for 3 years in WA. I had the pleasure of caring for 2 young girls during that time. Since then, I have babysat and short-term nannied for families all over the country, including Telluride. Additionally, each summer I work at an overnight summer camp in Michigan where I care for campers, boys and girls, ages 6-15. I am the campus director of the girls overnight 4 & 8 week program. When I babysit, I love to hone in on the child’s interest, whatever it may be at the moment. I love to encourage them to dive deeper into their curiosity and passions. I am an advocate for minimal screen time when I am caring for your child. I love playing outside, going on walks, and playing in the library with the kids I care for. I love to ski, practice yoga, explore canyons, travel, play sports, read, and meditate. I have a BA in psychology, and I am also a certified first responder. I am extremely attentive, intuitive, and nurturing. I look forward to meeting you and your kiddo(s)! 🙂 |

 Kelsey | Hi I’m Kelsey 🙂 I’m a 35-year-old Telluride local with a big heart for kids and over 15 years of childcare experience. I’ve been nannying in Telluride for the past 3.5 years. When I’m not with the little ones, you’ll find me as substitute teacher at Telluride elementary school, serving at The Grand restaurant in town, playing softball or volleyball in Town Park, or if it’s winter- I’m probably skiing. I’m am involved in the local community here and love being part of what makes Telluride so special. I actively work with grades kindergarten – third grade at the elementary school so I’m around kids all the time and feel super comfortable. I have a degree in graphic design, which I love putting to use through art projects with the kids, crafts, coloring, and getting creative with them. Whether we’re outside exploring (or riding the gondola!) or inside building forts and playing games, I’m all about keeping things light and fun, engaging, and imaginative. I don’t have children of my own yet, but being a nanny brings me so much joy. Kids help me stay in touch with my playful side, and I feel grateful to share space with them in a lighthearted, meaningful way. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring sitter who truly loves what they do, I’d love to connect. |
 Pam | Hello, I am Pam! I have lived in the Rocky Mountain and Intermountain west for over 40 years, and returned to Colorado in 2012. I have worked in the outdoors as a ski instructor and river guide, and as an RN for many years in all kinds of settings. I love spending time in the mountains and the desert canyons we are so lucky to have in our backyard, hiking, biking, skiing, and sometimes just sitting to watch the sunset. I like to introduce kids to the outdoors in whatever way is available and suitable at the time, and help them explore, learn, and have fun in this beautiful setting. I hope you have a wonderful time here in the San Juans, and look forward to taking great care of your children. |

 Elizabeth | Over the past decade I have worked with children exclusively in the Telluride and Ridgway area, with ages ranging from 2 months to 14 years old. Whether it’s one child, two, or even 10, it has been my absolute pleasure to care of the kids while parents enjoy a day or night out. I love children, and they are so fun to work with! If there is anything you are currently working on with your child/ren ie: speech/language, motor skills, behavior, potty training, school subjects, music, etc., I am more than happy to work with them during our time together. Or, we can just have fun together! As I have three pets of my own, I am happy to take care of your pets and keep up with their routine as well. I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). I am certified in First Aide and CPR for adults and pediatrics. |
 Terra | Meet Your Sitter: Reliable, Enthusiastic, and Ready for Fun! Hello Parents! I’m excited to introduce myself as a professional caregiver and educator with a diverse background in working with children of all ages. From infants to school-age kids, I have a wealth of experience that helps me connect with and nurture the unique needs of every child in my care. My background as a successful mother of two fully-fledged adult children and as an Academic Guidance Counselor and Science/Math Teacher at a local school have honed my ability to create engaging, supportive environments for children, whether in the classroom or a home or vacation setting. While I enjoy working with all ages, I have a special passion for preschoolers! Their curiosity and creative play inspire me, and I love supporting them as they achieve new milestones and develop their social skills. I’m also well-versed in working with groups of children, and I bring energy, structure, and positivity to every session. Whether it’s organizing an art project, leading outdoor play, or cooking simple recipes together, I aim to foster learning, creativity, and fun in every activity. I’m thrilled to be part of your family’s childcare journey and look forward to providing your little ones with a fun, safe, and enriching experience! Thank you for considering me. |
 Emily | Hi! My name is Emily Petty and I am 24 years old. I recently graduated from The University of Denver with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Kinesiology & Sports Studies. I would describe myself as hardworking, outgoing, and friendly. I love to be active with kids, whether that be an inside activity, such as dance parties or outside activity, such as going to the park. I competed in gymnastics for most of my childhood and am coaching here in Telluride so I understand the importance of movement throughout the day and the benefits that it brings. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have the most experience with kids aged 2-12. I have loved working with all ages and am looking forward to meeting you and your kids! |

 Abbie | Hi! My name is Abbie Dutcher and this is my first winter season at Telluride. A little about me: I graduated from Saint Bonaventure University in May of 2024 having studied English and Adolescence Education. While there, I continued my love for music by playing clarinet, tenor saxophone, and piano in the concert and jazz bands. I’m also quite passionate about travel and new experiences- which has brought me to live and work seasonally in Nashville, TN and Martha’s Vineyard, MA as a camp counselor, lifeguard, and babysitter, as well as inspired the amazing adventure I had this past summer backpacking across 16 European countries. Throughout all of my jobs, I have worked closely with children of all ages in academic and recreational settings. My time in the classroom as a Student Teacher, Substitute Teacher, and Tutor taught me about patience, adaptability, and management skills while working as a Camp Counselor, Kids Club Coordinator, and Ski Instructor has strengthened my leadership, creativity, and communication. I love working with children and hope to continue this passion with furthering my education in a Masters of Montessori Education. |
