Hi Parents! I’m Miriam and I have been working with children for 10 years professionally but 12 years overall. I have experience with children of all ages, twins and triplets, and have been in 6+ nanny shares. I’ve worked as a Career Nanny, Family Assistant and House Manager. I’m comfortable working in a team with Parents, Co-Nannies or other Staff. I’m vetted with various agencies in CO and TX. I’m currently working as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) specializing in multiples and also a trained Postpartum Doula training. I have various certifications including CPR/First Aid, Working with Multiples, Parenting Safe Children, and Respectful Childcare for Newborns, Infants and Toddlers. I take pride in having an extensive variety of knowledge relevant to my career which leads me to travel for child developmental trainings across the United States. I am happy to answer any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Miriam was quick to make friends with my 11 month old who has pretty bad stranger danger. She was happy and bubbly and very talkative with Remi which is exactly what babies need. Very comfortable with babies. She was able to get a big bottle in my very distracted difficult eater and a good baby food feeding as well. They played outside and went for a walk. Before leaving she washed all the bottles and wiped down the counters and cleaned up the toys; a rarity with sitters these days. ”
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 there! My name is Paige and I have just relocated to Denver and am excited to connect with new families! I'm an experienced childcare professional with a passion for creating engaging and enriching experiences for children. My journey in childcare has taken me through a variety of child-centered roles, shaping my skills and understanding of the unique needs of each child. As a coach and educator, I learned the importance of teamwork and communication, skills that are invaluable when caring for children. Guiding young minds to work together not only fosters a positive environment but also encourages personal growth. My time as a camp counselor allowed me to explore experiential learning, incorporating activities that not only entertain but also educate. From nature walks to science experiments, I believe in hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and foster a love for learning. Ski instructing added an element of adventure to my repertoire. Teaching children to navigate the slopes taught me patience and adaptability. I understand the importance of tailoring activities to each child's abilities, ensuring they feel both challenged and supported. This approach carries into my babysitting style, where I create age-appropriate activities that cater to individual interests and developmental stages. Transitioning into the role of a professional caregiver deepened my commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment. I prioritize outdoor creative play, recognizing the immense benefits it brings to a child's physical and mental well-being. From arts and crafts under the sun to imaginative play in the backyard, I encourage creativity and self-expression. What sets me apart is my dedication to creating memorable experiences that go beyond traditional childcare. I aim to foster a sense of wonder, instill a love for learning, and promote a healthy lifestyle through engaging activities. My diverse background equips me with a well-rounded approach to childcare, ensuring that every child under my care not only feels safe but also thrives in a world of exploration and imagination!
“Paige was amazing! She cleaned with such detail and care. Would love to have her back!”
Hi – I’m Jen! I am a young professional working for a local insurance brokerage firm doing Health & Benefits Consulting for companies. I am looking for a fun way to earn some extra money. I love kids and decided to try Urban Sitter. I grew up with a younger brother & sister (twins), as well as many younger cousins. My first job was babysitting family and neighbors. In high school I became a nanny for 3 elementary aged girls. My most recent experience has been with newborns/toddlers. I have a 6 year old niece and a 3 year old nephew, who I am very close with (they would give me rave reviews). I also have friends who are new parents. I enjoy playing with kids, doing crafts, being creative and if the weather is nice heading outdoors. I would be more than happy to help with homework and/or tutoring as well. I look forward to meeting you and your kids! ***Depending on location/date/time I may require a minimum of 4 hours for bookings. Thank you in advance for your understanding!***
Hello!!! My name is Deanna and I have been a Colorado resident for 10 years; I have been watching children for 20+ years! **I am the current nanny in a share so am only looking for occasional or evening gigs, thank you** I am comfortable with children as young as newborns and as old as teenagers. I have assisted in raising at least a dozen babies to toddlers and beyond. I am comfortable with one or two children up to a whole classroom of children. I have worked in individual family's homes, after-school programs, pre-schools, been an au pair internationally and have watched many children at birthday parties and on family vacations. When it comes to child care, there is almost nothing that can surprise me or that I haven’t seen or experienced before. I am caring, compassionate, consistent, dependable and fun. I grew up in a family where both parents worked full-time and therefore, I like to be a good role model for children because the sitters I had in my childhood were huge influences on me and I would like to be the same positive influence. I believe in consistency, teaching independence that fosters growth and new ideas, and learning through play. I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and adventure and of arts and crafts. I recognize that children are the future and believe it’s important to teach them valuable skills such as manners, empathy and kindness to carry with them throughout life. I look forward to learning more about you and your family :)

"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!"
