Hi – I’m Jen! I am a young professional working for a local insurance brokerage firm doing Health & Benefits Consulting for companies. I am looking for a fun way to earn some extra money. I love kids and decided to try Urban Sitter. I grew up with a younger brother & sister (twins), as well as many younger cousins. My first job was babysitting family and neighbors. In high school I became a nanny for 3 elementary aged girls. My most recent experience has been with newborns/toddlers. I have a 6 year old niece and a 3 year old nephew, who I am very close with (they would give me rave reviews). I also have friends who are new parents. I enjoy playing with kids, doing crafts, being creative and if the weather is nice heading outdoors. I would be more than happy to help with homework and/or tutoring as well. I look forward to meeting you and your kids! ***Depending on location/date/time I may require a minimum of 4 hours for bookings. Thank you in advance for your understanding!***

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!
