Hi my name is Renee and I am new to Denver from Sydney Australia. Back home I am a licensed Registered Nurse, having worked in many specialties over the past 7 years. Alongside nursing, I have worked as a nanny/ babysitter for the past 9 years, caring mostly for the newborn - 4 year age group. Duties within these roles have included engaging in creative play within the home, driving to playgroup and activities, walks to the local park and pool, excursions to the zoo, along with house duties relating to the children including cooking, laundry and general tidying. I love being outdoors any chance I get, leading a fit and active lifestyle. I am also comfortable with all pets, particularly dogs and love to include them on my outings!

Hi! I hope you are doing great. I’m Leydy Rodriguez, and I would love the opportunity to care for your kid. I’m 28 years old and I’m currently studying Accounting at FRCC. I’ve been working with kids 4 months to 8 years, about 7 years now. I’m passionate about creating a safe and nice environment, encouraging creativity and learning through play, and specially maintaining open communication with parents. I’m also certified in First Aid and I’m a Spanish-English speaker. I look forward to discussing how I can support your family.

Great and patient with the kids! We are planning having her again.

Hi! I'm a nanny and (pre-pandemic) elementary/middle school substitute teacher, with a wide range of experience with children of varying ages, needs and abilities. In addition to nannying and babysitting, I've been a preschool teaching assistant, swim lesson instructor, lifeguard and tutor. I pride myself on building loving and respectful relationships with children while also keeping them safe, healthy and supporting them as they learn to be full humans. I look forward to meeting you and your littles, not-so-littles and teens! *Currently booked up for summer/fall ‘22 but please do not hesitate to reach out if you’re in need evenings/weekends/overnights, backup sitters or pet care* ***In order for me to enter your home, all eligible adults and children over the age of 5 must be vaccinated for Covid-19. This is non-negotiable.***

HI! I have a Masters degree in Social work and retired from being a social worker for 30+ years during covid, including with youth. I have been a contract nanny for a 13 month old and 5 yr old (about 15 years ago). I volunteer for an outdoor nature camp with 5-9 year olds. Love to do art, music, movement, singing, silliness and play. I have been doing house and petsitting for the past 3 years, not active with urbansitter much. (note: I got a low review from a one time sitting job who wanted me to come when she was highly contagious with what seemed to be norovirus.)

Hii! I’m Jasmine. I’m 28 years old and some would call me the child whisperer. I worked for preschools with all ages from 2[removed] and babysat in my time off as well. From 2020-2024 I was a registered behavioral therapist working with kids that range from 2-10 years old. I have now split time as a middle school special education paraprofessional between APS & LPS since 2024. Kids have been my passion since high school, they give me such a spark that I never get tired of. While my main focus is child care I don’t mind a few pet favors here and there, I love dogs! I also don’t mind a little cleaning around the house. I mostly do this because I believe all parents deserve a fun night out! Enough of the chit chat though, hit me up anytime if you would like to get to know me better and I hope to hear from you soon!
