I am BLS, AED, and CPR trained. I have been working with kids professionally since I was 14 but I have babysat my brother before that. I love working with children seeing how creative they are and how much energy and laughter they have makes me love babysitting. I eventually want to go back to school to major in pediatric nursing.

Thandi $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Thandi — an energetic, positive, and dependable au pair with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve cared for children from newborns to school-age and truly enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and structured environment where kids can thrive. I bring a calm, nurturing presence while also being playful and active, making sure children are both supported and stimulated throughout the day. I’m very intentional about building routines, encouraging learning through play, and helping children develop confidence and independence. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I naturally adapt to each child’s personality and needs. I also support families with meal prep, daily organization, and maintaining a smooth, stress-free routine. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, which reflects my strong sense of responsibility, organization, and professionalism. I take pride in being someone families can fully trust and depend on.

Olivia $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a Colorado local from Lafayette. I have been working with children in a professional setting since I was 16 years old. I was a nanny for a family for 4 summers in high school into college, then for another family for 2 summers while in college. I worked as a Preschool teacher for 2 years post-college graduation and also as a Site Director for an after-school program for 2 years as well. I also am a professional figure skater and coach children for private/group lessons. I have extensive training with children ages 0-12 along with Red Cross medical training. I also worked with Disney as a character for multiple years! I currently am a graduate student for Child Psychology at Regis University and am looking for a full-time nanny position with a consistent family while I am in school. My classes are at night so I am available Monday-Friday during regular working hours.

Gwendalyn $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gwen Calvo! I’m 24 years old and recently graduated from CU Boulder this past May. I’m currently seeking a part- or full-time babysitting or nanny position while I study for the LSAT in preparation for law school. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 15 and worked as a full-time nanny for four boys from 2[removed], gaining strong experience managing multiple children, routines, and busy schedules. As the oldest of two siblings, caring for younger kids has always come naturally to me. In high school, I helped run Special Olympics and participated in student council, which gave me experience working with children with special needs and strengthened my patience and adaptability. I’m happy to help with household chores, running errands, school pick-ups/drop-offs, and cooking. I’m reliable, responsible, and always prioritize a safe, supportive, and fun environment for kids. I do have allergies to cats and dogs, but I’ve grown up with pets and have house-sat before—an allergy pill usually does the trick!

"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)."
