Hello! I’m Hailey and I’m 27 years old. I've been babysitting since I was 15. Have been a full time nanny for the last 8 years. Have stayed with families long term, as long as 3.5 years. I have a lot of experience with having a toddler and infant at the same time. I was a Preschool Assistant Teacher at The Academy ECE(Feb 2017-August 2017). I was a Group Leader with the YMCA Childcare Program(March 2016-Feb 2017). My Junior year of high school I was an after school nanny to a developmentally disabled 14 year old. I love engaging with kids and helping them learn/grow. I enjoy arts and crafts, singing, reading books, board+card games, dramatic play, hide and seek, riding bikes, etc. I can take kids on outings to the park, museums, zoo, library for story time, etc. I know of a lot of fun kid places! I’m very responsible, trustworthy, and nurturing. I've done many trainings through the YMCA and The Academy such as CPR, fire safety, bloodbourne safety, child abuse, social and emotional, etc. Let me know if you have any questions, thank you!

I have over four years of experience as a nanny, and 1 year of experience as a pre-school teacher. I have worked with children between the ages of 3-16 years old. I simply love children and enjoy helping them learn and grow at every stage of their young lives. My strengths as a nanny are that I am very responsible, reliable, caring, and energetic!

I was recently thinking of a way to assist parents (single parents), as a mom whose had both married and single years. Then, I came across UrbanSitters. I have four children, who are now all adults. For sure, there were those who assisted me during the single years with my children, when they were little, and I would like to do the same for other parents in return. Sometimes parents need a little assistance with running errands, pick-ups, of just have a sitter sit some hours so parents can take a breather and free up more time for family time. I have an associates degree in medical administration and finishing up a bachelor degree in criminal justice. I have worked in the business, medical and judicial settings, pretty much since graduating high school. Children are precious gifts and are naturally funny at times, looking to explore their new world safely. I loved taking care of my own children, as well as relatives and friends children. I love reading, music, movies, and the outdoors. My availability is pretty flexible but it changes.

Gabi $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 4th Grade teacher in Denver Public Schools district on summer break. I’ve taught elementary grade levels (all subjects!) for 6 years. Throughout the years, I’ve taught 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and 4th grade. I am very familiar with the Literacy and Math standards progression from K-5 and the strategies/language students need to learn to reach their academic goals. In past summers, I have taught summer school, coordinated summer camps, and worked for the parks and rec department a coaching soccer and basketball. I believe that learning needs to be a great mix of hard work and fun! This summer, I decided to take the summer off and not commit to a full time position. So here I am- still very much eager to be around kids on a part time basis. I’m excited to meet you, your family, and learn about how I can be the most helpful!
