Mia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Mia. I’m a bilingual caregiver who speaks both English and Spanish. I have 1 year of professional experience working in childcare, where I’ve had the opportunity to work at three different schools and learn a variety of teaching styles and approaches. In addition, I volunteered at a Boys & Girls Club during high school, which gave me valuable experience working with children in a fun and supportive environment. I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to 5 years old, helping them learn and grow through engaging and age-appropriate activities. I’m also a great cook and love trying out new recipes! I enjoy preparing healthy and tasty snacks that kids love. Im a reliable helper when it comes to keeping things tidy and assisting with cleaning around the home. Outside of childcare, I enjoy being outdoors—especially hiking—and I’m currently studying coding. I’m excited to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your little ones!

Adah $15 per hour for 1 child

I was recently thinking of a way to assist parents (single parents), as a mom whose had both married and single years. Then, I came across UrbanSitters. I have four children, who are now all adults. For sure, there were those who assisted me during the single years with my children, when they were little, and I would like to do the same for other parents in return. Sometimes parents need a little assistance with running errands, pick-ups, of just have a sitter sit some hours so parents can take a breather and free up more time for family time. I have an associates degree in medical administration and finishing up a bachelor degree in criminal justice. I have worked in the business, medical and judicial settings, pretty much since graduating high school. Children are precious gifts and are naturally funny at times, looking to explore their new world safely. I loved taking care of my own children, as well as relatives and friends children. I love reading, music, movies, and the outdoors. My availability is pretty flexible but it changes.

Gabi $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 4th Grade teacher in Denver Public Schools district on summer break. I’ve taught elementary grade levels (all subjects!) for 6 years. Throughout the years, I’ve taught 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and 4th grade. I am very familiar with the Literacy and Math standards progression from K-5 and the strategies/language students need to learn to reach their academic goals. In past summers, I have taught summer school, coordinated summer camps, and worked for the parks and rec department a coaching soccer and basketball. I believe that learning needs to be a great mix of hard work and fun! This summer, I decided to take the summer off and not commit to a full time position. So here I am- still very much eager to be around kids on a part time basis. I’m excited to meet you, your family, and learn about how I can be the most helpful!
