Hello! I'm a 35 year old that is very active and creative. I've been babysitting, nannying, dogsitting, and housesitting for over 20 years. After college in 2013, I was an Au Pair in Madrid, Spain. I've worked with children of all ages from 2 months to 15 years of age and have watched over 200 children. These jobs have included homework help, driving to activities, cleaning, park visits, crafts, diaper changes, giving medication, cooking, feeding, bathtime, bedtime, etc…you name it, I've done it! I have also done many overnight stays while parents are away. I enjoy babysitting because children are always learning and imagining, and I love to be a part of their growing process! I love to be outdoors, read, do yoga, hike, ski, explore, be with friends, travel, bake, write, and try new things!

Hi I'm Katie, I would consider myself to be a trustworthy sitter that you can depend on. Im a registered behavior technician (RBT) but I do not provide ABA services outside of a clinic, just able to babysit children with autism. I am also current CPR/1st aid certified. I love animals and have a few of my own. I am willing to provide light housekeeping, laundry, prep made meals, cook, and provide transportation.

“Very engaging with our 3.5 year old.”

HI! I have a Masters degree in Social work and retired from being a social worker for 30+ years during covid, including with youth. I have been a contract nanny for a 13 month old and 5 yr old (about 15 years ago). I volunteer for an outdoor nature camp with 5-9 year olds. Love to do art, music, movement, singing, silliness and play. I have been doing house and petsitting for the past 3 years, not active with urbansitter much. (note: I got a low review from a one time sitting job who wanted me to come when she was highly contagious with what seemed to be norovirus.)

Hello everyone! My name is Kelli. I am an infant-toddler specialist/childcare professional with extensive childcare training. -I am a full-time licensed home daycare provider/owner, specializing in infant-toddler care. :) This is my job 40+ hours per week. -I am currently looking for weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) babysitting jobs at the moment. -I am infant, child & adult CPR, AED, and Basic First Aid Certified. -I am lead infant teacher and lead toddler teacher qualified & have done both, working in two different early childhood learning centers (besides my own). -I also have my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Denver (graduated in June 2024). I'd describe my personality as patient, calm, and kind. I like working with kids because I love seeing them learn (& they teach me so many things too!). One thing you should know about me is I am a gentle and sensitive person, which is why I work well with children.

“Kelli was very thorough and asked questions to better understand our schedule and our kids’ needs. She is very sweet and our kids loved her! ”

Hii! I’m Jasmine. I’m 28 years old and some would call me the child whisperer. I worked for preschools with all ages from 2[removed] and babysat in my time off as well. From 2020-2024 I was a registered behavioral therapist working with kids that range from 2-10 years old. I have now split time as a middle school special education paraprofessional between APS & LPS since 2024. Kids have been my passion since high school, they give me such a spark that I never get tired of. While my main focus is child care I don’t mind a few pet favors here and there, I love dogs! I also don’t mind a little cleaning around the house. I mostly do this because I believe all parents deserve a fun night out! Enough of the chit chat though, hit me up anytime if you would like to get to know me better and I hope to hear from you soon!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
