Hello, I am Cyn. I am 35 years young, originally from South Florida. I relocated to Denver in January 2017 and I absolutely love it here. *Fluent in Spanish* Friends would say I am an adventurous, passionate, hilarious soul. I love music, food, animals, nature, and kids! I began working with children and families in 2009. In Florida, I worked as a youth program director at the YMCA, an assistant teacher, and a long term (8yrs) nanny for 2 families. Since moving to Denver, I have had the pleasure of working with over 100 families. I enjoy the outdoors and creative outlets the most. I paint, play, do crafts, read, and love to implement those activities into daily life. I consider myself a role model for kids, and have been told by peers and employers alike that I have a dynamic personality. I have my own reliable 4x4 transportation, with a squeaky clean driving record.
“She was on time, very communicative, and incredibly chill and easy to talk to. I felt very comfortable having her here and will definitely hire her again!”
Hello! My name is Neylin. I enjoy working with kids and love to see how they progress in their development and all that they are learning. I have an easygoing temperament and am always ready for any new opportunity. If you book me as your sitter you will find your kiddo and I enjoying activities outdoors, reading books, building forts or playing endless games of pretend and maybe even speaking a bit of Spanish!
“My son enjoyed her company and she took well care of him!”
Hi! I'm a nanny and (pre-pandemic) elementary/middle school substitute teacher, with a wide range of experience with children of varying ages, needs and abilities. In addition to nannying and babysitting, I've been a preschool teaching assistant, swim lesson instructor, lifeguard and tutor. I pride myself on building loving and respectful relationships with children while also keeping them safe, healthy and supporting them as they learn to be full humans. I look forward to meeting you and your littles, not-so-littles and teens! *Currently booked up for summer/fall ‘22 but please do not hesitate to reach out if you’re in need evenings/weekends/overnights, backup sitters or pet care* ***In order for me to enter your home, all eligible adults and children over the age of 5 must be vaccinated for Covid-19. This is non-negotiable.***
Hi! I hope you are doing great. I’m Leydy Rodriguez, and I would love the opportunity to care for your kid. I’m 28 years old and I’m currently studying Accounting at FRCC. I’ve been working with kids 4 months to 8 years, about 7 years now. I’m passionate about creating a safe and nice environment, encouraging creativity and learning through play, and specially maintaining open communication with parents. I’m also certified in First Aid and I’m a Spanish-English speaker. I look forward to discussing how I can support your family.
“Great and patient with the kids! We are planning having her again. ”
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.)

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
