Paige $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Paige I am 31 and just moved to Denver after living in Humboldt County, Ca for the last ten years. The last five years I was a professional tattoo artist. I graduated from Humboldt State University with a BA in Fine Arts in 2015 and began my tattoo apprenticeship in 2017. I am originally from Fairbanks, Alaska where I lived until I was 18 and then moved to Missoula, Montana for my first two years of college. I moved to Humboldt County in 2012. I have worked customer service jobs since I was 13 mostly in restaurants and cafes. Although my past job experience of the last 5 years is eccentric and not of the norm, I have many other skills and have many years of experience when it comes to customer service. Tattooing is energy work and one of the most important elements of the process for me, was making sure my clients felt safe and comfortable while having me alter their bodies for the rest of their lives. Animals and children often are very comfortable around me as I have a calm and gentle energy. I deeply love dogs and other animals and often feel a connection to them. I do not have any children of my own but enjoy being around them very much at all ages. I did own and love many animals over the ten years of being in California and unfortunately had to leave behind my large breed dogs, Odin and Thor, who stayed with my ex partner of almost 7 years. I am incredibly detailed oriented, dependable, clean, punctual, have a good attitude and am a fast learner. I love being outdoors and going on adventures and being active, but also love to find means of entertainment inside on rainy days, like arts and crafts or reading or rearranging a room. I enjoy cooking, cleaning, organizing and trying to create a vibe in a space.

Thandi $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Thandi — an energetic, positive, and dependable au pair with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve cared for children from newborns to school-age and truly enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and structured environment where kids can thrive. I bring a calm, nurturing presence while also being playful and active, making sure children are both supported and stimulated throughout the day. I’m very intentional about building routines, encouraging learning through play, and helping children develop confidence and independence. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I naturally adapt to each child’s personality and needs. I also support families with meal prep, daily organization, and maintaining a smooth, stress-free routine. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, which reflects my strong sense of responsibility, organization, and professionalism. I take pride in being someone families can fully trust and depend on.

Booked by 1 family in Arvada, CO

Hi! My name is Courtney and I love helping others. I have a passion for nannying, pet sitting and everything in between. I’ve nannied for all age ranges and worked at a summer camp throughout my college years. I have a 6 year old nephew who I spend most weekends with and overall love being around kids. Many of the families I’ve previously nannied for I’m still in touch with and enjoy seeing how the kids have grown up. I also love animals. I have a Pyrenees mixed named Millie who goes everywhere she can with me and loves to adventure. I’ve worked on farms, at wolf sanctuaries and everything in between. I dog walk and pet sit for many families in the Denver area. I'm experienced in pet care from puppies to seniors and am certified in pet first aid! I would love to meet your fur babies and when they're with me I'll love them as if they're my own.

“Courtney is reliable, friendly, and truly cares for your pets! I would love to work with Courtney 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."
