Hii families! My name is Quiyara, I am a sophomore at the University of Colorado at Boulder studying Integrative Physiology, a declared study of pre-PA, and a minor in philosophy. I am officially apart of the AdventHealth Medical Assistant team and I am alsoin the process of obtaining my certification as a postpartum doula. I have babysat siblings and younger cousins all throughout high school and I have 2 years of professional babysitting experience from as young as 4 months to 7 years old. I have also worked as a Child and Youth Mentor with Pikes Peak Respite Services and I currently volunteer at the Children Hospital in Aurora CO. For my future plans, I am continuing my studies at CU Boulder and plan to go to PA school and become a physician assistant in Obstetrics and Gynecology. I'm passionate about becoming an OBGYN PA because 1) my desire to help women through the most vulnerable/emotional period of their lives, 2) I believe all women of every background should be properly education on their reproductive health and sexual health and 3) seeing new life being brought into this world and being able to help parents upbring their children into great human beings brings me great joy!

I have over 17 years in both Elementary Teaching and Early Childhood Education. I miss the chance to use the skills learned over years while I am currently at home. I am kind, positive, and set expectations and boundaries where needed. I take the natural opportunities to teach interpersonal and problem solving skills, as well as academic skills. I have many years experience working with ages newborn and up. I taught Early Childhood, 2nd and 4th grades. I've created childcare worker training for a previous job that did not have any and have taken CPR/First Aid/Universal Precautions trainings many times as well as car seat trainings. I am CPR & First Aid certified. I do not smoke anything at all, do not use any kind of drug & have a clean driving record. I take the responsibility of your child's safety and care very seriously. I will work to protect them physically and with what they are exposed to on tv, social media or otherwise. I am flexible and don't get rattled easily. The first year of my sons life was my favorite, though I find great joys with all ages. I have worked with a variety of special needs. You can look at the "Professional Teaching Experience" section on my resume to see my formal experience (feel free to ask for that). I've babysat since I was in 7th grade and worked in church nurseries prior to that. I am married with one child and like to move and be outside when I can. You are welcome to ask any questions of me as it is important to know who your children are spending time with. Kiersten

“Kiersten was amazing with our son! Would definitely hire her again.”

I raised 4 daughters while I was an emergency room nurse. The best part of my life was watching my daughters grow .Now I am waiting for grandchildren but my daughters are too busy living their lives. So now I love to nanny babies, toddlers and children of all ages. Life is such an adventure!

“Nancy was such a help for us and a delight for my daughter, who immediately asked for her to come again. She even cleaned up after our dog, who got sick in the house. She was prompt, responsive and warm. Absolutely will book again.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
