Booked by 1 family in Idaho Springs, CO

Hi! My name is Mike, and I have lots of experience with organizing (I worked inventory and visual merchandising at Apple for 10+ years), cleaning/housekeeping (I was a custodian in college while earning my bachelor's degree), and animal care (I have 2 dogs and a cat and grew up around farm animals on my grandparents dairy farm in Ohio). I am reliable, trustworthy, and can work independently. I also have a master's degree in teaching and work full time for a non-profit in Boulder. I live in the mountains near Golden Gate Canyon State Park with my wife, our two rescue dogs, and our 20 year old kitty.

Mike is dependable, kind, a great communicator, and truly interested in how to care for my two dogs. I really appreciated how he only used positive reinforcement methods in his interactions with Lu and Roo. My two girls really loved him!

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.

"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."
