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

Hello! My name is Hayley and I’m new to Urban Sitter. I am a third-year dental student on the Anschutz Medical Campus. Prior to dental school, I spent a year working as a pediatric dental assistant, and I regularly babysat kids of all ages throughout high school while also working as a lifeguard. I loved being a babysitter, and lately I have missed spending time with kiddos. I have a very large family with lots of little ones, but unfortunately, few of them live close to me. I am CPR certified and fully vaccinated. I am happy to help with work around the house, run errands, and my friends tell me I am a great cook! I love card games, sewing, snowboarding, rollerblading, painting, and learning new things.

Hayley is fabulous!!!

I bring a deep sense of care, patience, and responsibility to everything I do. I understand how important it is to create a safe, nurturing environment where babies can thrive, and I’m fully committed to supporting not only the infant’s physical needs—like feeding, diapering, and sleep routines—but also their emotional and developmental growth. I genuinely love spending time with little ones, and after my experience at a daycare and the education I received while there, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, happy learning environment for anyone in my care.

Valerie was fantastic with Zoey. They had a lot of fun and Valerie followed all of our directions. She was on time, professional and gave updates throughout the day. Will definitely book again. Thanks!

Hi Parents! I am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm a new parent to a beautiful nine month old. I am interested in providing in-home care to one or two other children part time. We have a beautiful home with lots of opportunities to play and learn, including cooking, time in the garden, reading, and doing art. We are close to playgrounds and parks! I love being goofy and having fun with kids and love arts and crafts and sensory play. I am comfortable helping out with homework and study skills.

Em got along great with my 5 year old, and was really helpful while I took my online class.
