I am an artist, activist, socialist feminist, writer, foodie and bicyclist. Born & raised in Denver. Kids think I'm silly, smart, fair, caring and always there for them! I have Mondays & weekends available right now and 27 hours a week with my nanny family of 3 years.

“Terin was great! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be our first official babysitter. I’ve left my 2 1/2 year old with family members and his daycare provider but wasn’t sure how he would do and he warmed up very quickly to her. She’s great with the little ones and I appreciated her checking in with me through text messages. Very good communication!”

Providing exceptional, reliable childcare has been a consistent thread throughout my life. I began as a trusted neighborhood babysitter and went on to nanny full-time during college, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting families with varying needs and dynamics. One of my most formative roles involved caring for newborn twins through age four, while seamlessly supporting the family as they welcomed a third child. I later expanded my experience through a structured nanny share and ongoing placements supporting multiple families. Today, I work full-time in the tech industry and continue to partner with families seeking high-quality, dependable care for date nights, travel, and special engagements. I bring extensive experience working with children of all ages, including multiples and children with diverse needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified and well-versed in early childhood development, allowing me to provide care that is both engaging and developmentally thoughtful. My approach is warm, attentive, and highly adaptable. I prioritize creating a safe, structured, and enriching environment while also bringing a sense of creativity and fun to each interaction. I am equally comfortable supporting daily routines as I am integrating into travel schedules or new environments, ensuring a seamless experience for both parents and children. As an advanced skier and former instructor, I am well-suited for families who enjoy mountain travel and active lifestyles. I am also comfortable in homes with pets and happy to assist as needed. I have experience traveling with families to destinations including Cozumel, Oahu, San Diego, Seattle, and St. Louis, and understand the level of flexibility, discretion, and professionalism required in those settings. Currently booking for date nights and travel with advance notice. Fully vaccinated and happy to provide documentation upon request. I look forward to connecting and supporting your family with care you can trust.

“Amanda was wonderful! My 7-year-old took to her immediately and declared her the “most fun babysitter ever!” From a parent's perspective, Amanda was punctual, reliable, and somehow managed to get my daughter to bed and asleep on time—a feat only two other babysitters have ever accomplished! I was thoroughly impressed and would absolutely hire her again. Highly recommend!”

"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."
