Hi! I’m Juliana. I’m a professional nanny with 8 years of childcare experience. I’ve cared for children from infancy through school age and have been with my current family for nearly four years, caring for three children. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR/First Aid certified, dependable, organized, and comfortable with early mornings, long days, meals, naps, activities, driving, and daily routines. I love creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I’m currently open to part-time early mornings, and occasional opportunities.

Hello, my name is Thida. I’m originally from Thailand and currently in school, looking for a part-time nanny position, ideally around 12–15 hours per week during weekdays, with availability for date nights or weekends as well. A flexible schedule would be wonderful, as my availability will depend on my class schedule, but I will always provide advance notice. I have over 10 years of full-time nanny experience caring for children from newborns to 12 years old. I’m available for school or camp pick-ups, childcare, and helping families with flexible scheduling needs. I have updated CPR and First Aid certifications, up-to-date vaccinations, and my own reliable transportation. I’m kind, fun, trustworthy, reliable, and truly enjoy working with children and supporting families. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you!

“Thidarut was wonderful with our son! We will definitely use her again! She was very flexible with our unpredictable schedules!”

Hello! My name is Dania, and I’m 33 years old. I was formerly a preschool teacher working with toddlers ages 2-3 in the classroom, though I have childcare experience with children ages 3 months to 12 years old. I am currently available for full-time and occasional jobs and am always happy to schedule a chat over the phone to answer any questions. I've spent a lot of time in the creative realm so entertainment is not a problem. Kids are wonderful, and there is so much to learn from them! I look forward to connecting with you and your children. :) Thank you! *Availability: Please reach out for specific times as my calendar isn't always updated.

“Dania was awesome to care for our 26 month old son at our hotel for an evening while we were in town for a wedding. She jumped right in to play with him and he barely looked up when we left. She handled bath and bedtime with no issues. Great communication before and during - sent cute pics while we were out. Will definitely book again anytime we are back in Denver!”

Booked by 11 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hello! I’m a childhood educator and nanny of 15 years. My backgrounds include early childhood education and developmental psychology. I encourage play centric environments. Some of my favorites are sensory play, crafting, STEM experiments, cooking with others, or an outdoor adventure for the day. I am comfortable aiding in potty training, developmental milestones, baby lead weaning, food sensitivities, and speech progression. I believe in creative curiosity as the foundation of interaction. I have ample experience from infancy to teens, with up to date CPR and first aid certifications. I also work in special needs communities. My work is focused in attachment style theory, positive reinforcement, and play based interaction. Other interests include milestone development from birth, and Montessori/Waldorf school programming with school aged kiddos. I enjoy herbalism, nature based play, climbing, and the great outdoors. My other certifications include infant mobility work, swim coaching, and youth exercise programming. I am a trauma informed provider with tons of experience in autistic, diabetic, and foster care communities. I aim to bring a sense of curiosity, acceptance and kindness to every interaction. Feel free to reach out for more info! :)

“Emilianna is fantastic. My kids think she’s hilarious. She makes special projects and they really enjoy their time with her. I would recommend for families wanting a more hands on caregiver. The thought and detail she puts into things for the kids really is the best.”

"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."
