Hi I'm Katie, I would consider myself to be a trustworthy sitter that you can depend on. Im a registered behavior technician (RBT) but I do not provide ABA services outside of a clinic, just able to babysit children with autism. I am also current CPR/1st aid certified. I love animals and have a few of my own. I am willing to provide light housekeeping, laundry, prep made meals, cook, and provide transportation.

“Very engaging with our 3.5 year old.”

Booked by 7 families in Denver, CO

I bring a deep sense of care, patience, and responsibility to everything I do. I understand how important it is to create a safe, nurturing environment where babies can thrive, and I’m fully committed to supporting not only the infant’s physical needs—like feeding, diapering, and sleep routines—but also their emotional and developmental growth. I genuinely love spending time with little ones, and after my experience at a daycare and the education I received while there, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, happy learning environment for anyone in my care.

“Valerie was fantastic with Zoey. They had a lot of fun and Valerie followed all of our directions. She was on time, professional and gave updates throughout the day. Will definitely book again. Thanks!”

Booked by 5 families in Denver, CO

Hello! My name is Hayley and I’m new to Urban Sitter. I am a third-year dental student on the Anschutz Medical Campus. Prior to dental school, I spent a year working as a pediatric dental assistant, and I regularly babysat kids of all ages throughout high school while also working as a lifeguard. I loved being a babysitter, and lately I have missed spending time with kiddos. I have a very large family with lots of little ones, but unfortunately, few of them live close to me. I am CPR certified and fully vaccinated. I am happy to help with work around the house, run errands, and my friends tell me I am a great cook! I love card games, sewing, snowboarding, rollerblading, painting, and learning new things.

“Hayley is fabulous!!!”

Booked by 2 families in Denver, CO

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.)

Hi there, My name is Karsyn and I look forward to connecting with you! Months ago I quit my tech job to start a small business and while it's been lovely, my husband and I decided we need more cash coming in while I build it out. I have years of babysitting experience, with a full year using this app in the past so you can check out my reviews! I am 33, very professional, mature and willing to go the extra mile to ensure you feel like your child is in good hands. I enjoy children very much and after realizing I needed a part-time job, I decided this was the route I was most excited about! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Talk soon!

“Karsyn is awesome!”
