Hi There, I'm Kristy! I am working from home at the moment so have more flexibility in babysitting jobs I can take... I’m in the top 1% of local caregivers via Care. com and have a lot of sitting experience, starting with two younger brothers. I was a nanny and a substitute teacher in college. Due to how complicated and confusing it can be for the little ones, I prefer to not sit for a parent(s) who would be working at home while I’m there. I am creative, imaginative, fun, interactive and love to make kids laugh! I respect your time, family and home, I am clean, caring and considerate. I have been on UrbanSitter and Care. com for over 6 years. I really enjoy being around kids in general and love the things they say and do. CPR Certified and Clear Motor Vehicle and Background Check. Bachelors in Marketing and have had the same job for over 18 years. I have been in Colorado for over 24 years and am from Illinois/Wisconsin. I had a golden retriever for over 10 years, who I lost late 2017 - so I am comfortable and enjoy being around dogs/animals as well... Thank you for your interest! Kristy

Hello!!! My name is Deanna and I have been a Colorado resident for 10 years; I have been watching children for 20+ years! **I am the current nanny in a share so am only looking for occasional or evening gigs, thank you** I am comfortable with children as young as newborns and as old as teenagers. I have assisted in raising at least a dozen babies to toddlers and beyond. I am comfortable with one or two children up to a whole classroom of children. I have worked in individual family's homes, after-school programs, pre-schools, been an au pair internationally and have watched many children at birthday parties and on family vacations. When it comes to child care, there is almost nothing that can surprise me or that I haven’t seen or experienced before. I am caring, compassionate, consistent, dependable and fun. I grew up in a family where both parents worked full-time and therefore, I like to be a good role model for children because the sitters I had in my childhood were huge influences on me and I would like to be the same positive influence. I believe in consistency, teaching independence that fosters growth and new ideas, and learning through play. I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and adventure and of arts and crafts. I recognize that children are the future and believe it’s important to teach them valuable skills such as manners, empathy and kindness to carry with them throughout life. I look forward to learning more about you and your family :)

Hello! My name is CodiAnne and I am so grateful to be able to work with kids. They are the best. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and taught 4th/5th grade for 4 years. *I am only available for date night type sitting. I am also a passionate “Forest school” educator. I co-founded a nature program that is located in Lakewood and Wheat Ridge. Registration is still open for the summer program! Monday - Friday 9am-1 pm. Pick and choose option for convenient scheduling. 🌿 It is based on the UK Forest School pedagogy. In short, it is a child-centered, exploratory learning model that is fully outdoors. It’s a rain, snow or shine kind of thing! Feel free to check out my website to learn more: wildcrescentfs.com **please reach out if you’d like more information regarding this unique program** Needless to say, I love working with children! I was a full-time nanny for 3 years, before getting into full-time teaching and now running my own nature program. I feel very comfortable with all ages of children. I am fun, energetic, kind, trustworthy, open-minded and a strong communicator. Please feel free to ask any questions!
