I am a pediatric dental assistant with a strong passion for working with children and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. Before working in dentistry, I worked at a special needs office for children, where I gained valuable experience supporting kids with different needs and personalities. I also have a lot of personal experience caring for children. I have an eight-year-old brother who I’ve helped care for throughout his life, and my husband’s parents recently welcomed a baby boy who is now four months old. I spend a lot of time with him and truly enjoy being around children of all ages. I am patient, caring, dependable, and love creating a safe and positive environment for kids to learn, grow, and feel supported.
I'm Susan, a caregiver with a rich background in Special Education and experience as a Kindergarten aide. My passion lies in supporting every child's unique learning journey, making every day a little brighter and filled with learning.
Hi! My name is Emma! I’m from San Francisco, I moved to Boulder last fall for school. I major in art therapy and psychology. I have been working with kids for several years. I currently work in childcare. I am certified in through the Colorado shines professional development system in these areas, introduction to early intervention in preschool special education programs, infant safe sleep practices, introduction to CPR and first aid, prevention and control of infectious diseases, preventing shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma, amongst other various trainings for early childhood professionals. I love working with kids, they truly warm my heart and encourage me to be my best self every day.
Hi there! I’m Mckenna , and I recently relocated to the Denver area after graduating from the University of Kentucky (Go Cats!). Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, I grew up babysitting my younger sister and the children of close family friends, and I continued nannying throughout college. With experience caring for kids of all ages, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and finding fun, engaging activities to do together. I'm flexible with hours and happy to help with transportation when needed. I look forward to connecting and learning more about your family!
I have Master's degree in young child education with a Montessori focus, I am certified to work with children 0 to 6 years old and I am most comfortable to work with children newborn to 6 years old, but I have experience with children up to 10 years old. I am an AMI trained Montessori guide and have greatly enjoyed my time with children in the classroom. I went back to school during the pandemic and became a speech therapist. I now specialize in early intervention services. I have worked with children ages 12 mo to 6 years old in a school setting over the last ten years but am now focusing on home care because of COVID risks in schools. I believe in interacting with children as unique individuals, showing them full respect and helping them develop personal independence, social skills, and a true sense of self confidence.

"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."
