Ryah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! I'm Ryah — a twenty-year-old student, sister, friend, and daughter, as well as a caring and dependable babysitter and nanny with over five years of experience working with children of all ages. Over the years, I've had the privilege of supporting many families as a trusted babysitter, spending two years as a dedicated nanny, working as an assistant director for a preschool enrichment company, teaching fitness and yoga classes, and gaining two years of hands-on experience as a preschool teacher's aide. Alongside my professional experience, 1 am currently a third year college student pursuing a degree in Human Development and Family Studies, with the goal of becoming a Child Life Specialist. Through these roles, I've developed a strong ability to balance fun and structure, encourage creativity, and respond calmly and confidently to the everyday moments that matter most. I love planning engaging activities, supporting learning through play, and helping children feel safe, heard, and valued. Whether it's assisting with homework, organizing crafts, playing games, or keeping daily routines on track, I take pride in creating a positive and nurturing environment for every child and family I work with. I believe communication/trust are the foundation of strong relationships with families, I strive to be someone both parents and children can rely on. I am CPR/First Aid certified (adjust if needed), attentive to individual needs, and always focused on maintaining a safe and supportive space. I would love the opportunity to bring my patience, energy, and genuine passion for working with children to your family, and to build meaningful, lasting connections along the way. I look forward to connecting with you!

Laura Gabriela $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Gabriela, a nanny and I had been au pair with experience in childcare. I recently took care of two girls, ages 3 and 6, organizing creative and educational activities to support their development. I enjoy painting, reading stories, and doing crafts with children. I also have skills to help with homework and encourage positive habits. Additionally, I have experience caring for pets, including walking, feeding, and playing. I am comfortable with large animals and those that shed. I also offer light household services such as basic cleaning, laundry, and organization. I am responsible, patient, and reliable. I’d love to help with your little ones or pets

Stephanie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I'm the mom of 2 young adults and of Pretzel, our 2-year old rescue pup. I am offering child care, pet care and basic household tasks (i.e., cooking, laundry and light cleaning). My greatest passion is connecting with kids! I am the founder and director of Connect Us, a local nonprofit (www.connectusnow.org) whose camp, after-school and recess programs integrate children of all abilities and build social-emotional skills through collaborative play. For the past 18 years, I've had the privilege of engaging with hundreds of Connect Us kids ages 3-13, and I've learned a TON! Although Connect Us doesn't serve kids below age 3, I ADORE the little ones and throughout my life, have been the person who friends and family call upon to babysit their babies and toddlers. Due to federal funding cuts to nonprofits, Connect Us has been unable to obtain the funding it requires to continue our programs. We will be closing our doors after our final summer camp program in July. I not only bring your family many years of parenting and child development skills, I have a storage room full of play equipment, arts and crafts and games that I'm happy to share with your kiddos! I feel fortunate to have found Urbansitter to continue fulfilling my passion.

Sophie $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a young professional in the finance industry in Denver and a long time nanny/ babysitter. I have over 12 years of experience and am CPR certified. The majority of families I have worked for have had children aged 6 and under, however I have experience watching (and mainly tutoring) kids in the elementary to highschool range. I grew up in Denver and am still very close to several of the families I’ve worked with over the years. I’ve always loved caring for/ teaching others and dream of being a mom one day. For now, having the opportunity to care for other people’s kids keeps me happy! I own a home in the University neighborhood and can usually be found at work, the gym, or walking around Wash Park. I’d love to help out with random date nights or day coverage that you need.
