Booked by 7 families in Wheat Ridge, 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.

Lorraine 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Wheat Ridge, CO

I’m a retired neonatal nurse practitioner and mother of 4 adult children. I have nannied for several families now that I am retired. I love working with newborns and new parents. I describe myself as a “rent a grandma”. Meaning if your mom could come help you with your newborn anytime you wanted, but you could also tell her to leave when you wanted that’s me. I like teaching new moms and dads about newborn care, sleep schedules and feeding (breast and bottle). Overnight care is available so you can get the rest you need. I have both the professional experience and mothering experience to help you enjoy being a new parent.

Lorraine is by far the most competent and qualified sitter we have ever had and likely ever will, her extensive medical background at the children's hospital is hard to beat. we felt she took very good care of our kids and would love to use her again in the future 5/5 stars and highly recommend.

Hannah $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Wheat Ridge, CO

Hi! I’m Hannah I’ve been working with kids for over 6 years, and caring for little ones has truly become one of my favorite things in life. I actually started out as a lifeguard and swim instructor, teaching kids of all ages to feel safe and confident in the water. I hold my First Aid, AED, and CPR certifications, and later became a swim coach for USA Club Swimming—so I’m no stranger to high energy and big personalities! In 2021, I began my journey as a nanny, starting with a sweet 4-month-old boy. After moving, I spent the next 2 years with a wonderful family, caring for their 1½-year-old daughter and later her newborn brother. Most recently, I’ve been working in a nanny share with two adorable boys (20 months and 7 months). I absolutely love watching children grow, hit their milestones, and discover the world around them—it’s such a joy to be part of those little “firsts.” I’m also a master’s student studying adolescent psychology, working my way through school. I’m currently looking to pick up occasional date-night babysitting to supplement my income. Whether it’s building blanket forts, reading stories, singing songs, or making sure bedtime routines go smoothly, I always aim to make sure your kids feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about working with kids, I’d love to meet your family!

"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)."
