Hey there! I’m Rosa L Muñiz, a Lead Teacher at Warren Village Early Learning Center and a lifelong lover of all things childcare! 💕 I’ve been caring for kids of all ages since I was 14, and nothing makes me happier than seeing them learn, laugh, and grow. Whether we’re getting creative with crafts, having a mini dance party, or exploring the park, I make sure every day is filled with fun and discovery! 🎨🕺🌳

Did the job! First time hiring a person to watch after my children. Showed up on time, easy communication. Went above and beyond with scheduling. Thank you, Rosa!

Hello! My name is CodiAnne and I am so grateful to be able to work with kids. They are the best. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and taught 4th/5th grade for 4 years. *I am only available for date night type sitting. I am also a passionate “Forest school” educator. I co-founded a nature program that is located in Lakewood and Wheat Ridge. Registration is still open for the summer program! Monday - Friday 9am-1 pm. Pick and choose option for convenient scheduling. 🌿 It is based on the UK Forest School pedagogy. In short, it is a child-centered, exploratory learning model that is fully outdoors. It’s a rain, snow or shine kind of thing! Feel free to check out my website to learn more: wildcrescentfs.com **please reach out if you’d like more information regarding this unique program** Needless to say, I love working with children! I was a full-time nanny for 3 years, before getting into full-time teaching and now running my own nature program. I feel very comfortable with all ages of children. I am fun, energetic, kind, trustworthy, open-minded and a strong communicator. Please feel free to ask any questions!

CodiAnne was amazing!!

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
