Hi! I am a 19-year-old caregiver. I have 5 years of experience working with children of all ages, from babies to grade-schoolers. I've worked in a nursery and daycare, as well as being a full-time nanny for a 7-year-old boy! I'm creative, enthusiastic, and empathetic, with a passion for engaging kids through crafts, music, and fun games. I am a Musical Theatre major at CU Boulder and absolutely love entertaining kids! I'm also very comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. With my first aid certification and reliable transportation, I'm ready to provide excellent care for your family. Let me know how I can help, and I look forward to meeting you!
“I would highly recommend Tessa for babysitting! She has watched my 16 month old many times. She is very patient, fun, trustworthy and loving.”
Hi! I’m Jhoselyn, but you can call me Jhose 😊 I’m a caring, patient, and responsible nanny with experience looking after children of all ages — from newborns to teenagers, including twins. I truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and positive environment. My duties include preparing meals, organizing activities, assisting with homework, and maintaining a nurturing atmosphere. As a bonus, I can also help your children learn Spanish as their second language 🇨🇴✨ I consider myself an independent and adventurous person who loves discovering new things. I’m passionate about providing the best care and building meaningful connections with every family I work with
Hello! My name is Hana. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, including my role as a teacher lead at a licensed childcare center where I worked with children ranging from 6 weeks to 4–5 years old. I also babysat and nannied throughout high school and college, giving me experience with a wide variety of ages and family needs. I also became a mom in October to a beautiful baby girl, which has deepened my passion for childcare even more. I’m currently looking for weekend positions, part-time work, or occasional childcare opportunities. I’m reliable, nurturing, and experienced, and I love creating a safe and engaging environment for children. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you!
Hi! My name is Kenzie. I have worked with all ages of children in many different settings- including babysitting, infant child care, preschool, summer camp, and children with disabilities. I have my Early Childhood Professional Level 3 Credential through Colorado Shines PDIS with 1,928 logged hours working with Infants and Toddlers and 818 hours working with children age 8 or younger. I have also been observed by a NAEYC professional in an infant classroom and received a 100% score. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and well trained in diapering/potty training as well. I decided to start babysitting again because I am a college student and a full time job as a preschool teacher is not sustainable for me anymore with my busy schedule. On that note- I love spending time with children and I want to continue to work in childcare. Kids are so much smarter than we give them credit for and I feel like I learn more about the world and myself through working with children. My approach to caring for children is based on conscious discipline, although I understand care is different based on the needs of each child I work with. I am a huge supporter of independence and encouraging children to explore their emotions and environment in a safe way- that is how we learn! I also feel that one of the best ways to entertain and teach children is by playing with them instead of watching them play. Children look up to caregivers, so I always model the behavior I want to see from them. Above all, kindness and safety are the most important things to me when interacting with children. A little bit about my personal life- I am 22 years old and have lived in Boulder for 4 years now. I moved to Colorado from Washington State to get my Bachelors in Geology from CU Boulder. I love spending time in nature, whether that’s rock climbing, backpacking, scuba diving or hiking. Any excuse to look at cool rocks! I live with my girlfriend and my cat, olivine (named after my favorite mineral). I enjoy reading, yoga, and making homemade ice cream in my free time.
Hi, My Name is Aminata Aalyah and I am a student at University of Colorado Boulder studying medicine. I am offering childcare, petcare, and household services. I have been babysitting kids for over five years and I absolutely love it; it’s even inspired me to become a Pediatrician. I have been CPR, Stop the Bleed, and BLS certified 3 times. I am also a licensed phlebotomist. My previous responsibilities when booked have included running errands, cooking, driving, and tutoring. I am comfortable caring for families with dogs, cats, etc.
“Our kids connected with Aminata immediately, which is HUGE! Highly recommend!!!!!”

"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."
