Hello, my name is Ava! A little bit about me, is that I am a senior at CU Boulder (attending for Integrative Physiology) and I am from southern Illinois! I have care experience in ages young as three months old and up to thirteen years old. I am CPR and AED certified. (Just re-certified in May of 2025). I have a very flexible schedule and am able to drive (personal car or family car) the children to school, extracurriculars, and, or play dates.

Robyn 1 review
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have over 20 years of experience in providing care for families with little ones and also with my own older children who are all in college now. Making sure your child is safe, happy, and relaxed in my care is my top priority. I love doing arts and crafts, puzzles, reading books, painting, spending time outside and also doing educational-based play activities. I am certified in First Aid and CPR and I am a non-smoker with no pets. I am interested in working with a family that is looking for long-term care. I am available for full or part time care. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile!

Robyn is truly a special person who was meant to care for children. She has so many avenues available to help the children in her care grow, develop, and master skills in many different areas. She helps with personal and social development for the children in her care. Getting a spot in her care is the greatest thing you can do for your child and family. I can’t imagine working with ulterior care because it could never measure up to how special Robyn is and how she treats my family as if it were her own.

Booked by 1 family in Lafayette, CO

Hello! My name is Jolyne, I'm a student on hiatus at CU Boulder and looking for nanny work here in Boulder or adjacent areas. I have previous experience as a full time nanny for a child from four months to two years of age. I also have informal experience taking care of older children from age three to six, pet sitting for cats dogs and exotics, and as a house cleaner. I prefer a firm but gentle caretaking approach and love focusing on ways to engage a child's development. I have experience planning educational activities, development exercises for skills like sitting and crawling, day trips and casual excursions, meal planning, arts and crafts, and more! I worked with my previous child on multilingual comprehension including basic Spanish and ASL. I am also open to school pick ups, other driving needs, as well as tutoring. I do have some experience with kids with special needs, and have experienced learning difficulties myself that's provided me better perspective. Previous positions have required me to plan and make meals, as well as wash dishes and laundry, do basic tidying, and even deep clean the home. As mentioned I am open to pet care, including walks, litter cleanup, feedings, cage care, and more. Please let me know if there's any other specialized skills you may require and if you're willing to teach me. I love fostering new generations and lead with an excited, compassionate, and patient approach. I love kids of all ages and am willing to be flexible based on the child's and family's needs. I would really appreciate you reaching out if I seem like a good fit to discuss your needs and a meetup with your family : - )

Jolyne is proactive and communicates clearly. She arrived ahead of schedule and was thoughtful in assisting with the household tasks I assigned. She also asked insightful questions about how she could be more effective and helpful.

"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)."
