Booked by 5 families in Watkins, CO

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 absolutely love kids at all ages, and I’m a sucker for new borns! When I was young, I used to babysit all of the neighborhood kids and get nanny jobs with close friends, neighbors, and family. I am a black belt in karate and used to teach the toddler class after school. My instructor chose me because the kiddos loved me! As a single mom with my oldest (who is now 19), and him having life threatening asthma from birth, I was very hands on and hyper attentive to his needs. Being the sole person responsible for his care, medication, routines, and lifestyle activities within his capacity, I was very patient, loving, and supportive with him physically, mentally, and emotionally. It wasn’t easy but I loved being there for him and I still do! I have an almost 4 year old toddler now and I’m very hands on with him as well. As a certified Life Coach who specializes in emotional care and regulation, I work with mom’s and families to heal relational trauma and help them to create healthy dynamics between the parent and children, as well as helping mom’s especially build deep connections with their kids and find healthy ways to manage meltdowns and tantrums through connection vs correction and harsh punishments. It is a deep passion of mine to work with families and offer support through nanny services as well as creating a peaceful home environment for everyone in the household. Anything I can do to make life easier for you, I’m open for it!
