Hi there! I'm Leah. I'm a homeschooling mom of three kids. Their ages are 13, 10, and 5. I'm typically at home or out with my kiddos and would be happy to invite another child or two into our week! My kids and I enjoy reading great books aloud together, being out in nature, and going on trips to places such as the children's museum, the zoo, and our local library.

Maggie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maggie 😊 I’m 27 and recently moved to the Denver area from Wisconsin. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, and caring for kids has always been something I genuinely enjoy—not just a job, but something I take a lot of pride in. I’m CPR-certified and very safety-focused, but I also love creating a fun, relaxed, and engaging environment for kids. Whether that’s helping with homework, coming up with creative activities, or just being someone they feel comfortable around, I try to bring a calm, positive energy into every home. One of my most valuable experiences was running my mom’s daycare while she recovered from knee surgery. I handled everything from daily routines to keeping multiple kids happy, busy, and on schedule. It really strengthened my confidence, organization, and ability to take initiative without needing much direction. I also have tutoring experience, a reliable car, and a valid driver’s license—so I’m happy to help with school pickups, activities, or errands. I don’t mind pitching in with light housekeeping either if it helps make your day a little easier. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as dependable, communicative, and someone who just “gets it” without needing to be asked. I’m always happy to provide references and would love to connect to see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
