Hello! My name is Taylor. I am currently a college student at Colorado State University, majoring in Music Education. I also have been in childcare for 5 years. I work with children every day and am a certified teacher assistant in three school districts, as well as a lead in after-school programming in Poudre Valley School District. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to creating a positive and engaging environment for kids. I am able to cook, clean, provide transportation, and ensure your children are safe and well cared for. I have held a valid driver's license for over two years and drive a mini SUV, offering safe and dependable transportation. If you believe I might be a good fit for your family, please feel free to reach out. I would love the opportunity to connect with you.

Hi! I am a mother of five children ranging in age from 4-14 years old. Now that my kiddos are all in school, I am looking to work part-time. In addition to being a stay at home mama, I have been working with children of all ages in daycare, school, camp, and home settings for over 25 years. I most recently worked at my children's school as the napping house assistant for 16 kindergarteners. I am also a certified postpartum doula and have worked with several families as they made the transition into parenthood. I love cooking, practicing yoga, and indoor rock climbing. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

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!***
