Hi There, I'm Kristy! I am working from home at the moment so have more flexibility in babysitting jobs I can take... I’m in the top 1% of local caregivers via Care. com and have a lot of sitting experience, starting with two younger brothers. I was a nanny and a substitute teacher in college. Due to how complicated and confusing it can be for the little ones, I prefer to not sit for a parent(s) who would be working at home while I’m there. I am creative, imaginative, fun, interactive and love to make kids laugh! I respect your time, family and home, I am clean, caring and considerate. I have been on UrbanSitter and Care. com for over 6 years. I really enjoy being around kids in general and love the things they say and do. CPR Certified and Clear Motor Vehicle and Background Check. Bachelors in Marketing and have had the same job for over 18 years. I have been in Colorado for over 24 years and am from Illinois/Wisconsin. I had a golden retriever for over 10 years, who I lost late 2017 - so I am comfortable and enjoy being around dogs/animals as well... Thank you for your interest! Kristy

Hello! My name is Hayley and I’m new to Urban Sitter. I am a third-year dental student on the Anschutz Medical Campus. Prior to dental school, I spent a year working as a pediatric dental assistant, and I regularly babysat kids of all ages throughout high school while also working as a lifeguard. I loved being a babysitter, and lately I have missed spending time with kiddos. I have a very large family with lots of little ones, but unfortunately, few of them live close to me. I am CPR certified and fully vaccinated. I am happy to help with work around the house, run errands, and my friends tell me I am a great cook! I love card games, sewing, snowboarding, rollerblading, painting, and learning new things.

“Hayley is fabulous!!!”

Hello! I am Melissa. I am a very friendly, sociable, creative, and patient person. I have worked for 10 years as a babysitter, nanny, daycare and I camp. I have experience with children of all ages (from 1 month to 10 years old). I love to do creative things like crafts, drawing, reading, or writing our own stories, as well as sports things like swimming, playing ball, or going to the playground. Cooking and baking is also good thing to do with children because they can prepare different foods and develop a feeling for healthy food🍐🍎🍏🥦. I would love to do outdoor activities with them like camping, horse riding, or hiking, as well as teach them healthy habits and be responsible with their time. I would like to do a cultural exchange and I could even teach them a little Spanish. As for the ages of the children, I have different activities in mind. For babies, I want children to progress in their autonomy, so it will be necessary to ensure that their natural curiosity is not slowed down, as long as their safety or that of others is not endangered. I would like to help them with the control of head movements, visual, manual, auditory perceptual coordination, and adaptation of the senses and I would love to work with them to stimulate their memory. I also would follow the nap schedule during the day or at night as it is very important for his growth.

“Melissa was amazing! She came for a full day to take care of my 20-month son while I needed to do things around the house and go Christmas shopping. She entered the house with such enthusiasm, confidence, genuineness and kindness that I Iiked her immediately. As I was explaining things to her, she jumped in right away and starting to do them. She actively engaged, laughing and playing, with my 20-month son the whole entire time! I was really impressed how much she loved playing with him. She was so dedicated in her work and clearly adores children. She even cleaned up my dirty dishes in the sink, and even though she had very little free time as my son did not nap long and she must have been exhausted herself. I highly recommend her.”

I bring a deep sense of care, patience, and responsibility to everything I do. I understand how important it is to create a safe, nurturing environment where babies can thrive, and I’m fully committed to supporting not only the infant’s physical needs—like feeding, diapering, and sleep routines—but also their emotional and developmental growth. I genuinely love spending time with little ones, and after my experience at a daycare and the education I received while there, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, happy learning environment for anyone in my care.

“Valerie was fantastic with Zoey. They had a lot of fun and Valerie followed all of our directions. She was on time, professional and gave updates throughout the day. Will definitely book again. Thanks!”

"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!"
