I have been a care provider the last 15 years, for 3 month old infants through high school age kids - animal friends of all kinds including cats, dogs, horses, cows, chickens, and reptiles - and caring for elderly relatives and seniors in my community, including live-in and off-site. I’m now raising my own little one in a new city, excited to build community and help families with their children, elders, homes and pets!

Jacob $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a Denver Native who enjoys living an overall healthy, well-rounded lifestyle. I take pride in my physical, mental and spiritual health and have a passion for coaching, teaching, tutoring, and/or supervising children. I understand the importance of maintaining safety and control while encouraging play. I enjoy interacting with kids as well as letting them do their thing, if that's their preference. People have told me that I have a gift with kids as we always end up getting along very well. Both children and parents have expressed that they like the way I do things, which is with every aspect of the child's needs in mind. I grew up in my work life as a lifeguard and soccer referee where I enforced safety and rule-following. I have 3 years professional experience workjng with special needs children and 8 years experience in a wide veriert of settings working with other kids of all ages. All of my workover the years has been in the Denver Metro area, aside from working at a nursing home in Loveland with the elderly. I also have experience caring for common pets, as well as plant care, which I am happy to lend a hand with.

"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."
