$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Wheat Ridge, CO

I’m a retired neonatal nurse practitioner and mother of 4 adult children. I have nannied for several families now that I am retired. I love working with newborns and new parents. I describe myself as a “rent a grandma”. Meaning if your mom could come help you with your newborn anytime you wanted, but you could also tell her to leave when you wanted that’s me. I like teaching new moms and dads about newborn care, sleep schedules and feeding (breast and bottle). Overnight care is available so you can get the rest you need. I have both the professional experience and mothering experience to help you enjoy being a new parent.

“Lorraine is by far the most competent and qualified sitter we have ever had and likely ever will, her extensive medical background at the children's hospital is hard to beat. we felt she took very good care of our kids and would love to use her again in the future 5/5 stars and highly recommend. ”

Valeria $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Valeria, and I’m a caring, reliable nanny with 5 years of experience working with children from newborns to preschoolers, with a special focus on infants and toddlers. I love supporting little ones as they grow, reach milestones, and develop their own personalities. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, up to date on vaccines, and bilingual in Spanish and English, which I enjoy weaving into daily routines through songs, stories, and conversation. I’m also comfortable with pets, happy to help with light meal prep, and child-related tidying to make your days easier. I have a resume, references, and recommendation letters available upon request. I’m excited to connect with families and create a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive!:)

"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."
