Oona $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Oona. I am a college student, with several years of experience caring for young children. Some of my favorite things are spending time with my siamese cat, grilling out with my family, listening to music with friends, watching movies. My absolute favorite Disney movie is Moana. I’m also a dancer and have traveled abroad several times. Bathing elephants in Thailand is an experience i’ll never forget. I’ve also participated in Outdoor Lab four times, where I supervised kids throughout the day and overnight. Being unplugged in nature is cool. I love engaging children in fun, screen-free activities, like trips to the park, the zoo, and museums. I always prioritize creating a safe and positive environment. I am CPR certified with hands-on training, and I have experience caring for children ages 1–12. In addition, I am comfortable with caring for all kinds of pets, running errands, and following any household rules or routines you may already have in place. If you have any questions about my experience, please feel free to reach out via text to schedule a call so we can chat. For everyone’s benefit, when possible, i prefer to do an in person meet & greet prior to us working together. I find it eases the transition for the children, as well as us adults. i look forward to hearing from you!

Nayla $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Nayla I’m currently a freshman at a school in Hesston Kansas. I was born and raised in Colorado, so during my breaks I’m looking for babysitting, household services, or pet sitting services! I love watching kids and being able to take care of animals. I’ve been babysitting kids for awhile and have always taken care of pets as well. I as well have little nieces who I watch and adore. I’ve always had dogs so watching them comes naturally to me and all the tasks it comes with. I also have a passion for cleaning and other household services that could need assistance such as cleaning, cooking, organizing, or even running errands.

Gwendolyn $35 per hour for 1 child

After years in corporate accounting and running my own business, I’m transitioning to a more fulfilling career in childcare. I’m a devoted mom with deep life experience, including caring for my late son during hospice and supporting my second child, S., through his gender transition. Today, S. is thriving—an honor roll student, Truman Scholarship finalist, Alpine Club officer, Best Student Employee award winner, and college scholarship recipient. I served on the board of the Montessori school, that both of my children attended, and bring a calm, structured, and creative approach to caregiving. I hold a degree in Business Management, live in Denver, and enjoy art, gardening, and design. I’m warm, reliable, and nurturing, with a focus on helping kids feel safe, confident, and seen. CPR/First Aid certification was completed on May 19, 2025. It would be my honor to support your child’s growth and happiness. With a background in high-level administrative and accounting roles, I bring organization, attention to detail, and reliability to every task. My experience managing complex schedules, multitasking under pressure, and supporting executive teams has equipped me with strong time management and problem-solving skills—essential in a childcare setting. As a former small business owner, I’ve worn many hats, from logistics and event planning to communication and compliance, demonstrating the flexibility and calm demeanor that families need. I also volunteer in community support roles, reinforcing my natural caregiving instincts and commitment to nurturing others. My lived experience as a devoted mother and caregiver adds emotional intelligence, compassion, and real-world parenting insight to my professional capabilities.

"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."
