Alainah $25 per hour for 1 child

I recently graduated from CSU with my B. S in Human Development and Family Studies, focusing on Early Childhood (0-8). I have 5 years of experience in various childcare settings including Montessori, outdoor education, dance education, and traditional approaches. I enjoy facilitating active, creative, and developmentally supportive activities with kids! In my work, I strive to honor the family's value system by enforcing household rules and communicating daily updates with parents using their preferred method. I have First Aid Training and CPR Training. I can assist with cooking, light housekeeping, activities outside of the home, and swimming supervision. I have a car and I'm comfortable around pets. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family!

Jaslyn $24 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of experience working with children in both structured and informal settings. I began babysitting at a young age (around 13–16), caring for children in my community and building a strong foundation in responsibility, patience, and child supervision. From ages 18–20, I worked as a gymnastics coach for children ages 2–8, where I learned how to manage groups of young kids, create fun and engaging activities, and support their physical and emotional development in a safe environment. In addition to this, I regularly take on babysitting opportunities for family and close friends when needed, which has allowed me to continue building hands-on experience with children of different ages and personalities. I really enjoy being active and engaging with kids through outdoor play, creative activities, and structured fun rather than spending too much time indoors. I’m also happy to help with light household needs to support busy families and keep things running smoothly.

Megan $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Megan! I graduated from CU Denver in 2021 and I love playing with kids! I have always loved spending time with kids of all ages and happily began babysitting at a young age. I also spent many hours volunteering with children at my church. Since those early years, I have been the occasional babysitter, the long-term nanny, and worked in childcare at a business. I'm looking to find a new nanny position as the children I have been caring for most recently are aging out of needing my help. I am very child-led when it comes to play and exploration, giving little ones a chance to control a bit of their world and dictate the things that interest them the most. But I also do my best to set a structure and routine to the day, with expectations for what will be occurring at different times, to give the children a sense of stability. One of my favorite things to do with kids is play pretend. I love helping them learn about their world and help them explore and use their imaginations. I can help with some small chores like fixing meals for kids, dishes, and some laundry but I prefer to mainly do childcare. I'm very comfortable with pets but I am mildly allergic to fur.

"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)."
