Booked by 18 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hi there! I’m Cristina, a Denver local living near DU and currently finishing my Chemistry degree. I’m an experienced, reliable babysitter with over 10 years of childcare experience and am available for occasional babysitting, date nights, weekends, and as needed care. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to 14 year olds, and I’m CPR certified. I also work as a certified ski instructor teaching children ages 4 to 6 and 7 to 14, which has strengthened my ability to keep kids engaged, active, and safe while making learning fun. I genuinely love working with kids and strive to create a positive, supportive, and structured environment where they feel comfortable and encouraged to learn, play, and grow. I have a zero screen time philosophy because that’s how I grew up, and I love keeping kids engaged through reading, crafts, outdoor adventures, games, science experiments, baking, sports, and activities that fit their age and interests. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, entertaining a toddler, helping with homework, or spending time with older kids, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun. I’m happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, homework, transportation, light tidying related to the kids, and pet care if needed. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving record. If you’d like to get to know me before booking, I’m always happy to hop on a quick phone call to chat and answer any questions. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family!

10+ years of professional nannying experience with infant - teenagers. Travel nanny, overnight care, outings, and more! I have been with my family’s long term (2 years, over 5 years, 1.5 years, 1.5 years through present). Along with babysitting for regulars. I was with my longest nanny family for over 5 years and have them as a reference, along with other families I’ve worked for. I have done all sorts of tasks and jobs for this family outside of nannying as well (cross country luxury car transport, domestic travel, party decorating, errands, groceries, vacation home stocking, gift wrapping, etc). Special and elementary education teacher. I am hired as a 5 year certified substitute teacher through Scoot (March 2024) and Denver public schools (June 2024) and just received a background check. My full time teaching experience is in Arizona and that’s where I’m currently licensed. I’ll be transferring the license to Colorado if I decide to teach full time again. PRICING IS NEGOTIABLE!

Having worked in Youth Development for six years and as a DPS before & after care director for three years, I understand the impact of positive adult relationships with children and hope I can bring this experience and love to your family. I can promise safety & supervision, engaging age-appropriate activities, play-based learning, youth leadership & autonomy and a general philosophy of caring & respect. I am CPR/First Aid Certified with proof of 6000+ hours of public daycare experience and am also director Certified for School Age Childcare by the State of Colorado. I've nannied since 2018 and have infant, toddler, pre-k, potty training and sibling experience as well! Comfortable with medication administration and also have supported kids with disability needs. 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!”

Hi! My name is Macey, and I'm a full time nanny, with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I currently run my own swim lesson business, where I teach little kiddos to swim. I miss living with all my siblings (I have 8, so it's a bit of a withdrawal). I would love to experience some part time babysitting. I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified. I worked as a preschool teacher and a high school severe special needs assistant for 2.5 years, as well as nannied professionally for 7 years! I look forward to working with your kiddos!

"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."
