Hi there! šš» Iām a Registered Nurse and have over a decade of hands-on nanny experience, currently available for occasional babysitting. With my background in nursing and psychology, I provide attentive, safety-focused care while creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities - all while having fun! š I graduated in 2017 from the University of Vermont with a BA in Psychology and minor in Nutrition and most recently in 2025 with a BS in Nursing. Iāve worked clinical and non-clinical roles with children including roles as a Wellness Coach, live in au-pair, and counselor.
āMarley was wonderful. She connected with our 4-year-old right away - which is no small feat, as she can be a bit slow to warm up to new faces. Marley was punctual, helpful around the house, and just genuinely lovely to have around. We would absolutely welcome her back anytime.ā

Hi! My name is Dalia, and Iām excited to meet you! I just moved to Boulder from LA to get my Masterās in Speech Language Pathology at CU. Iāve been working with kids since I was 16 years old, and I studied child policy in college. I have been babysitting for 10+ years, and I have experience with a range of ages, including under 1 year-olds. At this point, Iāve worked with over 20 different families, and Iāve developed great relationships with many of them and their children :) Iām happy to help with schoolwork, and I love arts and crafts. For older kids, I love to bake treats with them, and Iām happy to cook for your family or your kids! I know CPR, some Spanish, and am fluent in American Sign Language. I have a cat and have lived with a dog, so Iām comfortable around pets, and happy to take care of them as well!
Hi, my name is Elena and I am a student at CU Boulder. I have reliable transportation and several years of childcare experience as well as that being my primary job for 2 years. I am most comfortable with elementary school age children but am open to other ages. I currently work part time and am looking for some side gigs. I am also very comfortable with pet care, have had cats and dogs my whole life and am always happy to help with housework and cleaning.
Hello, my name is McKinzey and I have about 4.5 years nannying experience, with several years of childcare/babysitting experience as well and I was a preschool teacher for a time. I was also a professional birth and postpartum doula for nearly 6 years where I cared for many infants and toddlers. I will be starting graduate school in the fall to earn my Masters of Library and Information Science with a concentration in youth services, to hopefully one day become a children's librarian. So I would bring my love of reading and life long learning to the role! I would love to share more and answer any of your questions.
āMcKinzey was fantastic with our 10-month old! We canāt wait to have her over again!ā

"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."
