Hi – I’m Jen! I am a young professional working for a local insurance brokerage firm doing Health & Benefits Consulting for companies. I am looking for a fun way to earn some extra money. I love kids and decided to try Urban Sitter. I grew up with a younger brother & sister (twins), as well as many younger cousins. My first job was babysitting family and neighbors. In high school I became a nanny for 3 elementary aged girls. My most recent experience has been with newborns/toddlers. I have a 6 year old niece and a 3 year old nephew, who I am very close with (they would give me rave reviews). I also have friends who are new parents. I enjoy playing with kids, doing crafts, being creative and if the weather is nice heading outdoors. I would be more than happy to help with homework and/or tutoring as well. I look forward to meeting you and your kids! ***Depending on location/date/time I may require a minimum of 4 hours for bookings. Thank you in advance for your understanding!***
Hello everyone! My name is Mónica I have been a pediatric Registered Nurse for over 10 years. Now, after 6 years of travel nursing, I am taking a break from the extremely demanding, fast-pace bedside nursing, to pursue my masters degree to become a Nurse Practitioner. My school is online which gives me lots of flexibility and availability! And I am also bilingual in Spanish and English. Before becoming a nurse, I worked as a nanny for many years and continued working with my families all throughout nursing school. With that said, I have extensive experience working with kiddos of all ages, including kiddos with special needs and those with complex medical conditions. As a nurse/nanny perk, I hold current BLS and CPR certifications; and am very comfortable in any type of situations, including emergencies. As an every day human, I am kind, dependable, and professional. I truly enjoy working with kids, hence why I dedicated my carrier to their wellbeing. I am patient, silly, and always up for building blanket forts, making arts and crafts, exploring the outdoors, and reading stories. I am also available to help with homework, house chores, and pet care as needed 😊 As a babysitter, I truly believe in creating an environment where kids feel happy, supported, and free to be themselves. Update: currently only looking for occasional jobs! If you think we could be a good fit and I could meet your needs, shoot me a PM!
“I had the pleasure of hiring Monica as a babysitter for my 19-month-old, and I can confidently say that she is absolutely fantastic! From the moment Monica arrived, my child was immediately comfortable with her, which is a testament to her caring and nurturing nature. Throughout the day, Monica kept my child engaged with age-appropriate activities and ensured that he was always happy and comfortable. Monica was patient, calm, and reassuring. Additionally, Monica was incredibly easy to work with. She was responsive to my messages and accommodating when our plans were out of the ordinary. Overall, I would highly recommend Monica as a babysitter to anyone in need of childcare. She is kind, responsible, and clearly has a gift for working with children. I'm so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
Howdy! My name is Madison (but I go by Maddi as well, whichever you prefer). I am an environmental scientist and researcher by trade but engage in care giving on the side. A little bit about me: I am the eldest daughter among 6 siblings. As such, I have plenty of practical experience in addition to my years of babysitting while getting my undergraduate and graduate degrees. Regarding my personality and hobbies, I love music, art, learning, and outdoor recreation. I am a multi-instrumentalist musician - I can sing and play the guitar, piano, and ukelele. I listen to a lot of music on the daily and I like to play, listen, and dance to music with the kids I babysit. I enjoy getting in touch with my creative side as much as I can. I love painting, drawing, making random crafts. I also really enjoy reading, going to the library, and going outside whenever I get the chance. Depending on the age of your kids, I am able to help with homework and school work, (particularly with science, english, history, and some lower level maths). I like to engage kids in fun activities and see tv, cell phone usage, and other electronics as more of last resort entertainment methods. I try to stay off of my phone as much as possible when I'm babysitting so that I’m able to be present and engaged. I find that this allows kids to have more fun and also be more present with me. I drive a fully insured, completely up-to-date on maintenance 2021 Toyota Rav4, so I'm able to drop off/pick up kids from school and/or other activities in my own vehicle. I am also comfortable driving other SUVs, trucks, and sedan vehicles as well, so whatever works best for you works for me! I have a spotless driving record and take car safety extremely seriously. I am mainly looking for one-off opportunities and am able to do overnight stays during the week and weekends as well. Thanks for taking the time to read this! I look forward to meeting with you and your little ones!
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 Deanna and I have been a Colorado resident for 10 years; I have been watching children for 20+ years! **I am the current nanny in a share so am only looking for occasional or evening gigs, thank you** I am comfortable with children as young as newborns and as old as teenagers. I have assisted in raising at least a dozen babies to toddlers and beyond. I am comfortable with one or two children up to a whole classroom of children. I have worked in individual family's homes, after-school programs, pre-schools, been an au pair internationally and have watched many children at birthday parties and on family vacations. When it comes to child care, there is almost nothing that can surprise me or that I haven’t seen or experienced before. I am caring, compassionate, consistent, dependable and fun. I grew up in a family where both parents worked full-time and therefore, I like to be a good role model for children because the sitters I had in my childhood were huge influences on me and I would like to be the same positive influence. I believe in consistency, teaching independence that fosters growth and new ideas, and learning through play. I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and adventure and of arts and crafts. I recognize that children are the future and believe it’s important to teach them valuable skills such as manners, empathy and kindness to carry with them throughout life. I look forward to learning more about you and your family :)
