Genna Hackley founded Babysitters of Boulder in 2018.

Hackley began nannying in 2005 while completing her degree at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque. She has devoted thousands of hours to caring for children of all ages from newborn to teen, including twin infants and toddlers. When she relocated to Boulder County in 2016, she quickly became part of the wonderful community of parents across Colorado’s Front Range.

Her care for families of varied backgrounds and cultures is informed by her own multicultural family, and by her professional experience in workplace equity and inclusion. Her experience includes care for preemies and micro-preemies, nonverbal children, and children with torticollis, hearing loss, speech disorders, intellectual development disorders (IDDs), and autism. Hackley has supported families who have living children and a child who passed away.

Her continuing education includes incorporating children with disabilities into active play with their peers, and protecting youth from exploitation. Her professional experience includes Human Resources, program management, and implementing lean systems of operation.

Hackley loves childcare work. For years, she was approached by parents asking how to find dependable and experienced childcare providers. Hackley’s peers shared their challenges around finding respectful work environments and living wages. She observed that parents and caregivers need a well-directed path to connect locally. She took it upon herself to create that path with Babysitters Of Boulder, interconnecting families and caregivers and providing personalized help.

Hackley shares her time between Boulder, Colorado, and the East Coast with her husband and extended family. She has two nephews and a niece who are the joy of her life! She oversees the hiring of each caregiver and continuously refines our services. She remains inspired to build this network of families and caregivers.
