Booked by 7 families in Shawnee, CO

I have a decade of experience in roles that blend nanny, family assistant, household manager, personal assistant, and dog mom. I excel at creating order. I organize intuitively and create systems that guarantee order and ease. I’m soft-spoken, direct. I see what needs doing and handle it. My childcare approach is developmentally informed and grounded in safety and attunement. I’ve worked with all ages and am well-versed in neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, etc). I'm also experienced with dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, and more. Animals and developmental psychology are my biggest passions and I am continually learning more about them. I believe the right person in a household can restore flow to a family's lifestyle. Children thrive in uncluttered, interactive settings. Adults can exhale when their mental load disappears. Streamlining a home is multi-tiered work but when done correctly, the effect is felt everywhere.

Katy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Katy , and I bring a unique blend of experience, maturity, and fun to babysitting. With over 10 years of experience teaching yoga to children and introducing them to the wonders of aerial yoga, I have a deep connection with kids between the ages of 2-14. My history of helping friends with their children and growing up with a younger foster brother has instilled in me the values of patience, empathy, and responsibility. What makes my babysitting style unique? I love crafting with kids - from making jewelry to creating window art and wall hangings. I'm also certified in CPR. I love physical fitness, yoga, and aerial hammock tricks. I climb, hike, and like to stay very active. I can offer kids a fantastic opportunity to learn aerial yoga tricks, beginner guitar, ballet, dance, climbing, and even some beginner photoshop skills. I speak a little french and love singing, poetry, philosophy, and writing. Beyond these fun activities, I’m also a helping hand for parents. Whether it’s assisting with homework, cooking meals, or doing light housekeeping, I am there to support. At 39, I blend the best of both worlds: the wisdom of age and a heart that loves to play games and have fun with kids. My availability does vary depending on my yoga teaching and retreat schedule, but I’m always communicative and timely. Parents have even hired me specifically to teach their kids aerial yoga – a testament to the trust they place in me. I’m also endorsed by friends on UrbanSitter and can offer references upon request. In a nutshell, I am patient, energetic, creative, reliable, intelligent, and deeply committed to my core values. If you're looking for a sitter who offers a blend of maturity, fun, and a wide range of skills, I am the right choice for your family.

Booked by 1 family in Shawnee, CO

Hi there! My name is Allie. I grew up in the Littleton area and moved to Montana in 2020 to attend Montana State University (Go Bobcats!). I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Human Development and Family Science and recently moved back to Colorado to continue my education at the University of Colorado Denver, where I’m working toward becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am. I started babysitting for neighborhood families at a young age and continued throughout high school and college. I also worked as a teacher assistant at Espree Learning Center and Little Tree Learning Center, where I cared for children ages 2–10. Those roles taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of balancing safety with fun. Along with childcare, I’ve spent the past five years dog sitting and house sitting for multiple families. I grew up around dogs and absolutely cherish my time with animals, they bring so much joy and comfort. I also enjoy helping with senior care, bringing compassion, attentiveness, and a warm presence to those who need extra support. Some of my past experiences also include being a lifeguard, which gave me strong skills in awareness and emergency response, and working at Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital in Psychiatric Emergency Services, where I strengthened my empathy, emotional regulation, and crisis management skills. I’m CPR certified and trained in AEGIS safety techniques. Outside of work, I love staying active. Skiing and running are my go to activities. I’m also a creative person who enjoys painting, writing, photography, and even a good board game (chess and backgammon are my favorites!). Above all, I truly enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment. Whether that’s for children, pets, or seniors. Families can count on me to be reliable, engaged, and caring every step of the way.

I recently hired Allie to take my daughter to soccer practice, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Im a single Mom and needed someone I could trust and rely on. She was punctual, professional, and incredibly kind. My daughter felt comfortable with her right away, and she made sure everything went smoothly, from getting to practice on time to keeping my daughter engaged and happy. I highly recommend Allie for anyone needing a reliable and caring babysitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

Raudel $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m excited to apply for the opportunity to care for your children. I enjoy working with kids and believe in creating a safe, educational, and fun environment where they can grow and thrive. I have experience caring for children from infants to school-aged, helping with daily routines, schoolwork, meal preparation, and engaging activities- in English, Spanish, or both! I am patient, reliable, and attentive to each child’s unique personality and needs. I also value open communication with parents to ensure consistency and peace of mind. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our 5-year old son, Enzo. As an avid sports fan, I also coach kids’ co-Ed soccer. It would be a privilege to support your family and provide the care and encouragement your child deserves. I’d love the chance to meet with you and your child!

Angela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Angela! I’m 32 years old, and caring for children and families has always been at the heart of who I am. I’ve had the joy of being a caregiver for the sweetest little boy who just turned 1, another who was 15months old, and I’ve also been a caregiver for a set of twin boys since they were 6—they’re now 10! Watching children grow, learn, and discover the world is something that fills me with so much wonder and joy. my skills include more than just child care: pet sitting, house manager, cleaning, cooking, etc. Beyond childcare, I have years of experience house-sitting and caring for animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and more. I’m comfortable juggling multiple responsibilities, whether that’s preparing simple, nutritious meals, keeping the home tidy, or creating fun activities that spark a child’s imagination. My bubbly, detail-oriented personality tends to win kids over quickly, and I always strive to bring warmth, patience, and laughter into every home I step into. I also have experience supporting children with disabilities and special needs, and I approach every child with empathy and individualized care. My schedule is very flexible, and I can often step in on short notice depending on your location. Coming from a big, traditional Italian family, I truly believe no family is too big or too small—I embrace them all with the same love and dedication. Caring for children, pets, and families isn’t just work for me—it’s something that brings me genuine joy and purpose. Please feel free to reach out anytime with the type of care you’re looking for. I look forward to meeting you and being a helping hand (and heart!) for your family and/or pets.

"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)."
