Booked by 11 families in Denver, CO

Hello! I’m a childhood educator and nanny of 15 years. My backgrounds include early childhood education and developmental psychology. I encourage play centric environments. Some of my favorites are sensory play, crafting, STEM experiments, cooking with others, or an outdoor adventure for the day. I am comfortable aiding in potty training, developmental milestones, baby lead weaning, food sensitivities, and speech progression. I believe in creative curiosity as the foundation of interaction. I have ample experience from infancy to teens, with up to date CPR and first aid certifications. I also work in special needs communities. My work is focused in attachment style theory, positive reinforcement, and play based interaction. Other interests include milestone development from birth, and Montessori/Waldorf school programming with school aged kiddos. I enjoy herbalism, nature based play, climbing, and the great outdoors. My other certifications include infant mobility work, swim coaching, and youth exercise programming. I am a trauma informed provider with tons of experience in autistic, diabetic, and foster care communities. I aim to bring a sense of curiosity, acceptance and kindness to every interaction. Feel free to reach out for more info! :)

Emilianna is fantastic. My kids think she’s hilarious. She makes special projects and they really enjoy their time with her. I would recommend for families wanting a more hands on caregiver. The thought and detail she puts into things for the kids really is the best.

Feel free to call me Jo. I enjoy staying active just as much as laying down to read (I adore the children's book RAVEN). I love getting to play and be silly with kiddos; it gives me time to explore my imagination and decompress. It's amazing what doing things out of the usual day-to-day can do for a person! I love when families catch me up on routines and rules that may be specific to their dynamic. I work to stay consistent with your habits and to respect any cultural, social, or religious preferences. I am comfortable providing care in traditional, non-traditional, unique, and complex family settings; I also have experience house-sitting, pet-sitting, and tutoring. I am allergic to most dogs and cats, but it's not serious! With at least an hour's notice, I can take my meds to prevent sneezing and itchy eyes. I know the importance of creating and holding boundaries and limits, but discipline is always the tough part of bookings for me. Please inform me of your preferred method of discipline (time-outs, chores, loss of privileges, etc.) to ensure that your little one(s) feels safe and respected at all times. I update my calendar weekly and it takes into account my full-time job, existing obligations, and taking time to care for myself. I do not have a cancellation fee for cancellations more than 24 hours from the booking start. However, most same-day cancellations and early returns will be charged for the full booking time. I maintain a 4 hour minimum for bookings with limited exceptions. I am fully vaccinated! Note that I cannot provide care for families where a cough, runny nose, fever, or nausea/vomiting is present. The UrbanSitter community has always been respectful of my health and wellness and I'll keep your family's health as a top priority, too. Unfortunately, due to recent events, if I arrive at a booking and a child is coughing, has a runny nose, is running a fever, or is nauseated/vomiting, I will not continue the booking and cannot accept a discount or offer a refund; parents will be charged for the full booking time. If you have questions about my experience (or me!) or would like to speak to me, please feel free to send me an interview request!

Jillian was calm and confident and my son was relaxed with her and they had a great time!

Providing exceptional, reliable childcare has been a consistent thread throughout my life. I began as a trusted neighborhood babysitter and went on to nanny full-time during college, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting families with varying needs and dynamics. One of my most formative roles involved caring for newborn twins through age four, while seamlessly supporting the family as they welcomed a third child. I later expanded my experience through a structured nanny share and ongoing placements supporting multiple families. Today, I work full-time in the tech industry and continue to partner with families seeking high-quality, dependable care for date nights, travel, and special engagements. I bring extensive experience working with children of all ages, including multiples and children with diverse needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified and well-versed in early childhood development, allowing me to provide care that is both engaging and developmentally thoughtful. My approach is warm, attentive, and highly adaptable. I prioritize creating a safe, structured, and enriching environment while also bringing a sense of creativity and fun to each interaction. I am equally comfortable supporting daily routines as I am integrating into travel schedules or new environments, ensuring a seamless experience for both parents and children. As an advanced skier and former instructor, I am well-suited for families who enjoy mountain travel and active lifestyles. I am also comfortable in homes with pets and happy to assist as needed. I have experience traveling with families to destinations including Cozumel, Oahu, San Diego, Seattle, and St. Louis, and understand the level of flexibility, discretion, and professionalism required in those settings. Currently booking for date nights and travel with advance notice. Fully vaccinated and happy to provide documentation upon request. I look forward to connecting and supporting your family with care you can trust.

Hi there! My name is Courtney and I'm a friendly, outgoing, responsible, caring, and hard working individual. I currently live in Tustin in Orange County, and have experience with children of all ages in roles such as: baby sitting, full and part time nanny, and tutoring. I also have two cats of my own, Pebbles and Nellie and I absolutely love taking care of animals. When I’m not working, I love to read, write, dance, work out, and spend quality time with family and friends. If you think I might be a great fit for what you’re needing, I’d love to chat further!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
