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

Hi there! My name is Paige and I have just relocated to Denver and am excited to connect with new families! I'm an experienced childcare professional with a passion for creating engaging and enriching experiences for children. My journey in childcare has taken me through a variety of child-centered roles, shaping my skills and understanding of the unique needs of each child. As a coach and educator, I learned the importance of teamwork and communication, skills that are invaluable when caring for children. Guiding young minds to work together not only fosters a positive environment but also encourages personal growth. My time as a camp counselor allowed me to explore experiential learning, incorporating activities that not only entertain but also educate. From nature walks to science experiments, I believe in hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and foster a love for learning. Ski instructing added an element of adventure to my repertoire. Teaching children to navigate the slopes taught me patience and adaptability. I understand the importance of tailoring activities to each child's abilities, ensuring they feel both challenged and supported. This approach carries into my babysitting style, where I create age-appropriate activities that cater to individual interests and developmental stages. Transitioning into the role of a professional caregiver deepened my commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment. I prioritize outdoor creative play, recognizing the immense benefits it brings to a child's physical and mental well-being. From arts and crafts under the sun to imaginative play in the backyard, I encourage creativity and self-expression. What sets me apart is my dedication to creating memorable experiences that go beyond traditional childcare. I aim to foster a sense of wonder, instill a love for learning, and promote a healthy lifestyle through engaging activities. My diverse background equips me with a well-rounded approach to childcare, ensuring that every child under my care not only feels safe but also thrives in a world of exploration and imagination!

“Paige was amazing! She cleaned with such detail and care. Would love to have her back!”

Hi! I'm a nanny and (pre-pandemic) elementary/middle school substitute teacher, with a wide range of experience with children of varying ages, needs and abilities. In addition to nannying and babysitting, I've been a preschool teaching assistant, swim lesson instructor, lifeguard and tutor. I pride myself on building loving and respectful relationships with children while also keeping them safe, healthy and supporting them as they learn to be full humans. I look forward to meeting you and your littles, not-so-littles and teens! *Currently booked up for summer/fall ‘22 but please do not hesitate to reach out if you’re in need evenings/weekends/overnights, backup sitters or pet care* ***In order for me to enter your home, all eligible adults and children over the age of 5 must be vaccinated for Covid-19. This is non-negotiable.***
