🧩 Loving & Experienced Nanny Available in January! 🫶 Hi families! ☀️ I’m Laura Vanessa, a professional nanny and early childhood educator with over 10 years of experience caring for little ones — from sweet newborns to curious preschoolers and fun school-age kids. I’m looking for a nanny position starting in January for 3 days a week. Here’s a little about me: 📍 Based in Lakewood, Denver or Littleton, CO 🗣️ I speak English & Spanish 🚗 Have my own reliable car, Colorado license & a clean record 🎓 CDA – Family Child Care (2025) 🎓 Early Childhood Education degree ( 2019) ⛑️ CPR and First Aid Certified 🚭 Non-smoker 🏊♀️ Comfortable swimmer 💗 Great references from wonderful families I’ve worked with If you’re looking for a loving, trustworthy, and experienced nanny who truly enjoys helping children grow, I’d love to connect and share more about my experience! 🌼
I’ve taken care of kids from babies to big kids (0–10 years old). I love keeping things fun with games, crafts, and activities outdoors, but I’m also happy to help with meals, homework, and routines. I’m easygoing, patient, and really enjoy being around kids.
Hello! I'm Camilla, and believe it or not, I started babysitting when I was 10 years old for a family with 3 children, at the now-unheard-of rate of 50 cents an hour! I'm a LOT older now, and moved back to Colorado in 2010 after spending 25 years in NYC working in children's publishing. I'm not a parent myself, but am young-at-heart, fun, funny, and caring. I am a devoted aunt to a niece and nephew in Amherst, MA, and my friends' kids all love me and think I'm one of them. I'm a responsible, mature adult with a long career history in children's books. I love reading aloud to children of any age, and am comfortable with kids from newborns to teenagers. The safety and happiness of your offspring are my top priority. In my free time I enjoy cooking and baking, trying new restaurants, traveling, pop culture, and All Things Apple. During the pandemic I worked with just two long-term families, where everyone was super-cautious, and I am fully up-to-date with all COVID vaccinations and boosters. I do require that any families I work with going forward are also vaccinated and boosted, and I prefer not to work with families who choose not to vaccinate their children. I routinely work with infants, and my priority is keeping them safe. You can trust me in your home and with your family because in addition to a background check through UrbanSitter, I have a SafetyPIN. SafetyPIN does a broader background check and a behavioral screening. My SafetyPIN is BUV1P8EK, and you can learn more and verify it at getasafetypin.com/verify. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Because my time is in high demand, I don’t accept babysitting jobs for weekends (Friday through Sunday) from new clients without a one-hour in-person interview, for which my standard hourly rate based on the number of children applies. This is to make sure that I am a good fit for your family, and to lessen the chance of last-minute cancellations. I will happily waive the interview requirement for non-peak-time bookings, though I do prefer to at least speak by phone before accepting new clients. Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll give my services a try!

Hi families! Update March 2026* I am working full time during the weekdays and am available for occasional & date night sitting only in the evening or weekends* My name is Emma, I've been babysitting and nannying for a little over 8 years now. I went to college for social work, and I have worked with kids in a variety of environments from school as a paraprofessional, to tutoring, nannying, as well as being a case manager. I am looking for occasional positions, one time, or part time. I have a clean driving record, my own vehicle, & I’m CPR/first aid certified.

"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!"
