Hi – I’m Jen! I am a young professional working for a local insurance brokerage firm doing Health & Benefits Consulting for companies. I am looking for a fun way to earn some extra money. I love kids and decided to try Urban Sitter. I grew up with a younger brother & sister (twins), as well as many younger cousins. My first job was babysitting family and neighbors. In high school I became a nanny for 3 elementary aged girls. My most recent experience has been with newborns/toddlers. I have a 6 year old niece and a 3 year old nephew, who I am very close with (they would give me rave reviews). I also have friends who are new parents. I enjoy playing with kids, doing crafts, being creative and if the weather is nice heading outdoors. I would be more than happy to help with homework and/or tutoring as well. I look forward to meeting you and your kids! ***Depending on location/date/time I may require a minimum of 4 hours for bookings. Thank you in advance for your understanding!***

Hello everyone! My name is Mónica I have been a pediatric Registered Nurse for over 10 years. Now, after 6 years of travel nursing, I am taking a break from the extremely demanding, fast-pace bedside nursing, to pursue my masters degree to become a Nurse Practitioner. My school is online which gives me lots of flexibility and availability! And I am also bilingual in Spanish and English. Before becoming a nurse, I worked as a nanny for many years and continued working with my families all throughout nursing school. With that said, I have extensive experience working with kiddos of all ages, including kiddos with special needs and those with complex medical conditions. As a nurse/nanny perk, I hold current BLS and CPR certifications; and am very comfortable in any type of situations, including emergencies. As an every day human, I am kind, dependable, and professional. I truly enjoy working with kids, hence why I dedicated my carrier to their wellbeing. I am patient, silly, and always up for building blanket forts, making arts and crafts, exploring the outdoors, and reading stories. I am also available to help with homework, house chores, and pet care as needed 😊 As a babysitter, I truly believe in creating an environment where kids feel happy, supported, and free to be themselves. Update: currently only looking for occasional jobs! If you think we could be a good fit and I could meet your needs, shoot me a PM!

“I had the pleasure of hiring Monica as a babysitter for my 19-month-old, and I can confidently say that she is absolutely fantastic! From the moment Monica arrived, my child was immediately comfortable with her, which is a testament to her caring and nurturing nature. Throughout the day, Monica kept my child engaged with age-appropriate activities and ensured that he was always happy and comfortable. Monica was patient, calm, and reassuring. Additionally, Monica was incredibly easy to work with. She was responsive to my messages and accommodating when our plans were out of the ordinary. Overall, I would highly recommend Monica as a babysitter to anyone in need of childcare. She is kind, responsible, and clearly has a gift for working with children. I'm so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

Hi there! My name is Paige and I have just relocated to Denver and am excited to connect with new families! I'm an experienced childcare professional with a passion for creating engaging and enriching experiences for children. My journey in childcare has taken me through a variety of child-centered roles, shaping my skills and understanding of the unique needs of each child. As a coach and educator, I learned the importance of teamwork and communication, skills that are invaluable when caring for children. Guiding young minds to work together not only fosters a positive environment but also encourages personal growth. My time as a camp counselor allowed me to explore experiential learning, incorporating activities that not only entertain but also educate. From nature walks to science experiments, I believe in hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and foster a love for learning. Ski instructing added an element of adventure to my repertoire. Teaching children to navigate the slopes taught me patience and adaptability. I understand the importance of tailoring activities to each child's abilities, ensuring they feel both challenged and supported. This approach carries into my babysitting style, where I create age-appropriate activities that cater to individual interests and developmental stages. Transitioning into the role of a professional caregiver deepened my commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment. I prioritize outdoor creative play, recognizing the immense benefits it brings to a child's physical and mental well-being. From arts and crafts under the sun to imaginative play in the backyard, I encourage creativity and self-expression. What sets me apart is my dedication to creating memorable experiences that go beyond traditional childcare. I aim to foster a sense of wonder, instill a love for learning, and promote a healthy lifestyle through engaging activities. My diverse background equips me with a well-rounded approach to childcare, ensuring that every child under my care not only feels safe but also thrives in a world of exploration and imagination!

“Paige was amazing! She cleaned with such detail and care. Would love to have her back!”

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!
