Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but I go by Liz! I’ve been doing childcare full time since 2020, but have done consistent babysitting since 2018! I am CPR and first aid trained and am pursuing my bachelors in developmental psychology. I have a background in education with an emphasis on Montessori learning and love doing child-led activities so that they have independence and a sense of identity! If you think I might be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Hello! I'm Camilla, and believe it or not, I started babysitting when I was 10 years old for a family with 3 children, at the now-unheard-of rate of 50 cents an hour! I'm a LOT older now, and moved back to Colorado in 2010 after spending 25 years in NYC working in children's publishing. I'm not a parent myself, but am young-at-heart, fun, funny, and caring. I am a devoted aunt to a niece and nephew in Amherst, MA, and my friends' kids all love me and think I'm one of them. I'm a responsible, mature adult with a long career history in children's books. I love reading aloud to children of any age, and am comfortable with kids from newborns to teenagers. The safety and happiness of your offspring are my top priority. In my free time I enjoy cooking and baking, trying new restaurants, traveling, pop culture, and All Things Apple. During the pandemic I worked with just two long-term families, where everyone was super-cautious, and I am fully up-to-date with all COVID vaccinations and boosters. I do require that any families I work with going forward are also vaccinated and boosted, and I prefer not to work with families who choose not to vaccinate their children. I routinely work with infants, and my priority is keeping them safe. You can trust me in your home and with your family because in addition to a background check through UrbanSitter, I have a SafetyPIN. SafetyPIN does a broader background check and a behavioral screening. My SafetyPIN is BUV1P8EK, and you can learn more and verify it at getasafetypin.com/verify. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Because my time is in high demand, I don’t accept babysitting jobs for weekends (Friday through Sunday) from new clients without a one-hour in-person interview, for which my standard hourly rate based on the number of children applies. This is to make sure that I am a good fit for your family, and to lessen the chance of last-minute cancellations. I will happily waive the interview requirement for non-peak-time bookings, though I do prefer to at least speak by phone before accepting new clients. Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll give my services a try!

Hi! My name is Dalia, and I’m excited to meet you! I just moved to Boulder from LA, and I’m looking to meet new families, and I’m happy to provide references. I’ve been working with kids since I was 16 years old, and I studied child policy in college. In DC, I was a nanny for a 5-year old with special needs, as well as a babysitter for ~10 different families, with kids of all ages. Last summer, I was an arts and crafts counselor for kids of all ages. I’ve spent the last 2 years working in an elementary school, and I have been working consistently with a couple families over the last few years, and now I’m looking to work with new ones! I have been babysitting for 10+ years, and I have experience with a range of ages, including under 1 year-olds. I’m happy to help with schoolwork, and I love arts and crafts. For older kids, I love to bake treats with them, and I’m happy to cook for your family or your kids! I know CPR, some Spanish, and am fluent in American Sign Language. I have a cat and have lived with a dog, so I’m comfortable around pets, and happy to take care of them as well!
