Hi! I’m Daniela, and I’m seeking occasional babysitting opportunities, whether it’s a temporary gig, date night sitter, part-time role, or as needed. With three years as a preschool teacher and 3.5 years as a nanny, I currently work full-time in this field. I hold a Child Development Associate credential and Teacher Level 1 and 2 Certificates from CCD, and I have first aid training. I have experience caring for children ages 6 months to 12 years. I enjoy spending time outside, going on walks, teaching, and engaging in crafts and projects with children. I understand that new families may feel overwhelmed, so I’m happy to provide reassurance through introductions, video calls, being on camera, and updates during our time together. I’m responsible, energetic, and caring, with a focus on keeping children safe while having fun. If you have any questions or need help, please feel free to reach out!

Booked by 2 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hi there! I'm Karen, but I go by K. I'm an experienced nanny with a passion for working with children. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of caring for kids ranging from newborns to 13 years old. My favorite part of being a nanny is helping children grow in all aspects of their lives-socially, emotionally, and intellectually. I believe in the power of guided play and play-based learning to encourage development and creativity. As a native Spanish speaker, I'd also be happy to share my language skills if that's something you're interested in.

"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."
