Hi there! šŸ‘‹šŸ» I’m a Registered Nurse and have over a decade of hands-on nanny experience, currently available for occasional babysitting. With my background in nursing and psychology, I provide attentive, safety-focused care while creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities - all while having fun! 😊 I graduated in 2017 from the University of Vermont with a BA in Psychology and minor in Nutrition and most recently in 2025 with a BS in Nursing. I’ve worked clinical and non-clinical roles with children including roles as a Wellness Coach, live in au-pair, and counselor.

ā€œMarley was wonderful. She connected with our 4-year-old right away - which is no small feat, as she can be a bit slow to warm up to new faces. Marley was punctual, helpful around the house, and just genuinely lovely to have around. We would absolutely welcome her back anytime.ā€

Hi there— my name is Rachel. I am an experienced caregiver and household support professional in my mid thirties with over 10 years of full-time nanny experience caring for children 4 months and up. I have worked steadily with toddlers and am diligent in following or creating daily rhythms for young ones, as well as providing developmentally appropriate care for kids of all ages. I love connecting with children through music, storytelling, hands-on creativity, and curiosity-led exploration. Supporting emotional regulation, resilience, and self-expression is central to how I work with kids. I aim to create spaces where they can grow while feeling secure and understood. I have a breadth of experience in nature connection and have worked previously as an outdoor camp instructor. I bring a strong foundation in nature-based mentorship and social-emotional learning through time playing outdoors. In addition to long-term nanny roles, my background includes household management, and private chef experience. I am comfortable supporting the full rhythm of home life, from school routines and play to nourishing meal prep and keeping things organized behind the scenes. Families I work with often describe me as warm, grounded, playful, dependable and intuitive. I take safety and responsibility seriously while bringing warmth, joy, and calm presence into the home. My goal is always to support not just the children, but the whole family system and create an environment where everyone feels supported and at ease. Currently I am working with many families via Urban Sitter providing temporary care, slipping in when needed to provide grounded and easeful support. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family.

ā€œRachel handled double toddlers with ease for multiple days in a row. The boys loved her and asked when Ms.Rachel would come back. Highly recommend. ā€

Hi! I'm a sophomore elementary education major at the University of Colorado - Boulder, passionate about working with kids! I have a flexible schedule, CPR certification, and experience teaching in schools and working at summer camps. I'm available to babysit and provide a fun and safe environment for your kids!! Elementary: Burgundy Farm Country Day School High school: The Madeira School Undergrad: University of Colorado Boulder

ā€œI am always very pleased with the care my 4-year-old son receives from Elizabeth. She consistently demonstrates professionalism and trustworthiness. Not only does she ensure my child’s safety, but she also keeps him happily entertained with creative activities. She is able to take direction well and stays within the guidelines that we give her. It’s clear Elizabeth genuinely cares and has a natural ability to connect with children. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable and engaging babysitter!ā€

Mackenzie $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kenzie. I have worked with all ages of children in many different settings- including babysitting, infant child care, preschool, summer camp, and children with disabilities. I have my Early Childhood Professional Level 3 Credential through Colorado Shines PDIS with 1,928 logged hours working with Infants and Toddlers and 818 hours working with children age 8 or younger. I have also been observed by a NAEYC professional in an infant classroom and received a 100% score. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and well trained in diapering/potty training as well. I decided to start babysitting again because I am a college student and a full time job as a preschool teacher is not sustainable for me anymore with my busy schedule. On that note- I love spending time with children and I want to continue to work in childcare. Kids are so much smarter than we give them credit for and I feel like I learn more about the world and myself through working with children. My approach to caring for children is based on conscious discipline, although I understand care is different based on the needs of each child I work with. I am a huge supporter of independence and encouraging children to explore their emotions and environment in a safe way- that is how we learn! I also feel that one of the best ways to entertain and teach children is by playing with them instead of watching them play. Children look up to caregivers, so I always model the behavior I want to see from them. Above all, kindness and safety are the most important things to me when interacting with children. A little bit about my personal life- I am 22 years old and have lived in Boulder for 4 years now. I moved to Colorado from Washington State to get my Bachelors in Geology from CU Boulder. I love spending time in nature, whether that’s rock climbing, backpacking, scuba diving or hiking. Any excuse to look at cool rocks! I live with my girlfriend and my cat, olivine (named after my favorite mineral). I enjoy reading, yoga, and making homemade ice cream in my free time.
