Hi my name is Debbie Wood, I would be interested in babysitting for you. I am retired and slightly handicapped but I would love to babysit. I worked for Avaya (Lucent, AT&T, Bell Labs and Western Electric) for 38 1/2 years. I am looking for ways to make a little extra money for a cruise I am taking next January. I am a Christian and attend Flatirons Community Church where I volunteer working with youth (12 - 18 years old at Open Door Ministry. Theses children live with their mom in a shelter or on the streets. Two other couples and I prepare a dinner meal and serve them. I'm retired from officiated soccer for 27 years and also was an Assessor and Instructor for United States Soccer Federation 30 years. I have worked with youth a very long time. I mentor a girl at risk with Save Our Youth, in the Denver area. I have been finger printed and had a back ground check to make sure I could be around kids..
Hello! As the oldest of seven children and full-time homeschool instructor to the youngest three, I have extensive hands-on childcare experience across various age ranges. I am also a full-time legal assistant for a federal agency and a graduate student in Geographic Information Systems and Criminology. What I bring to any household I work for is maturity, responsible decision-making, and creative problem-solving. My hobbies are watching true crime, NASCAR, the Denver Broncos, and the Colorado Avalanche!
Hello families! My name is Emily. I am originally from Texas, and here's a bit about my time in childcare! I began babysitting for families in my neighborhood at 12. In high school, I started a nanny-share group for middle school teachers, where a friend and I would pick up 15-20 elementary students and supervise them until their parents finished teaching. I started nannying for two families when I got my driver's license. I would pick up the kids from school and spend the evenings helping them with homework. Over the summers, I would nanny all day, and occasionally, in the evenings, I enjoyed taking the kids to the park, zoo, and museums. Kids need to get out of the house sometimes. When I started college, I realized how much I missed working with children. To reconnect, I took a student assistant position at the Child Development Research Center on campus, where I worked with kids from 3 weeks to 5 years old. I spent my first year in the infant class and then rotated between toddler and preschool classes for my second year. Although I had to leave due to scheduling conflicts, I continued to babysit and nanny for the families I had met there. Now, I have some other fun facts about myself! After I graduated, I went to Walt Disney World, where I participated in the Disney College Program. I am the biggest Disney fan, and I loved my time there. After my program ended, I moved to Loveland, Colorado, to live with my brother. I am learning to like the snow and love the mountain views; the weather is much nicer here than in Texas. I enjoy coloring and reading during my relaxation time. I also like cooking and baking. I am very open and honest and like to maintain good communication.

"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."
