Hello! My name is Ava and I have quite a bit of nannying and babysitting experience! I am 22 years old and began seriously nannying when I was 17. However, the real babysitting started when my two little brothers were born and I gained newborn and early childhood experience through them. I have helped numerous families and absolutely love children. I am energetic and uplifting and love to adventure with the children or stick to a successful routine! I live in the Boulder area but can commute if needed. I am experienced in all ages, and can do overnight as well!

Hi! My name is Michelle, and I work remotely as a consultant Monday through Friday. In addition to my professional work, I’m offering reliable child care, senior care, pet care, and household services to families in need of extra help. I’ve been caring for children of all ages since I was 14, and I truly enjoy creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments for them. I also volunteered at a preschool, where I loved helping the kids learn and grow through play and creative activities. Along with childcare, I have experience caring for seniors — especially my grandparents — and understand the importance of patience, kindness, and companionship. I’m responsible, caring, and easy to work with & I take pride in providing the kind of care that you can rely on. I’d be more than happy to chat over the phone or meet in person so you can get to know me better and feel completely comfortable :)

"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."
