I love to guide children’s passions and curiosities. It is so rewarding developing their identity and their independence along side them. I am an extroverted song and dance type, which children find fascinating. I love to get them out of their shells. It creates trust to express yourself openly and helps build a secure attachment In my previous classrooms, Ive gladly practiced Positive Discipline. Which involves understanding and support, never shaming or humiliating. As well as treating children with respect and acknowledging their feelings/ perspectives. If caregivers foster a respectful environment, it models healthy communication. It teaches children to express themselves constructively. I have passionately and extensively learned hands on to be an Early Childhood Ed Teacher. I hold a pysch degree in Human Development with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education. However, I prefer private childcare. I enjoy the freedom of creating and scaffolding without regulation. I enjoy catering personalized activities. I also create more intimate bonds through zeroed in focus, and typically am in their lives longer. *I have most recently worked long term infant jobs. I was lucky enough to enjoy the company of the families long term. I love working with children from infant to preschool. * I taught primary at an AMI certified Montessori school. (Combined 3-6 yr olds.) Previously, I taught toddlers and infants at Highland Academy. * 10+ years experience with 0-8 yr olds in classroom and home environments, *I am state certified in First Aid/ infant, standard CPR/Blood Safety. * Experience in relaxation techniques/ separation anxiety, language development, interpersonal communication, autism, speech therapy, occupational therapy, muscular dystrophy, potty training, behavioral challenges, & sexual predator safety. *I have wonderful mentors and references- please contact them! *I also do manicures, make believe, bug hunting, dress up, science experiments, and fancy hair. :-) LGBTQ+ advocate.

I am CPR/First Aid Certified with proof of 6000+ hours of public daycare experience and am also director Certified for School Age Childcare by the State of Colorado. I've nannied since 2018 and have infant, toddler, pre-k, potty training and sibling experience as well! Comfortable with medication administration and also have supported kids with disability needs.

I have Mondays & weekends available right now and 27 hours a week with my nanny family of 3 years.

“Terin was great! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be our first official babysitter. I’ve left my 2 1/2 year old with family members and his daycare provider but wasn’t sure how he would do and he warmed up very quickly to her. She’s great with the little ones and I appreciated her checking in with me through text messages. Very good communication!”

Booked by 16 families in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hi there! I’m Cristina, a Denver local living near DU and currently finishing my Chemistry degree. I’m an experienced, reliable babysitter with over 10 years of childcare experience and am available for occasional babysitting, date nights, weekends, and as needed care. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to 14 year olds, and I’m CPR certified. I also work as a certified ski instructor teaching children ages 4 to 6 and 7 to 14, which has strengthened my ability to keep kids engaged, active, and safe while making learning fun. I genuinely love working with kids and strive to create a positive, supportive, and structured environment where they feel comfortable and encouraged to learn, play, and grow. I have a zero screen time philosophy because that’s how I grew up, and I love keeping kids engaged through reading, crafts, outdoor adventures, games, science experiments, baking, sports, and activities that fit their age and interests. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, entertaining a toddler, helping with homework, or spending time with older kids, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun. I’m happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, homework, transportation, light tidying related to the kids, and pet care if needed. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving record. If you’d like to get to know me before booking, I’m always happy to hop on a quick phone call to chat and answer any questions. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family!

“Cristina was great with our 6 month old. Would recommend her and we will definitely be using her services again!”

"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."

"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)."
