I've been babysitting my whole life and really enjoy spending time with children. They are genuine, inventive and energetic and a welcome change from the adults I spend most of my time with! I'd love to meet to see if I would be a good fit for you. I began babysitting when I was 12 and haven't stopped since. My youngest sister was born when I was 14 so I have day-to-day experience caring for a young child in my own family. I babysat my way through college, for individual families and for a few churches in a daycare setting. During the summer I worked day camp for school age children and also did respite work with handicapped children. After college I worked full time in the infant and toddler rooms of an Athletic center in Denver for a year - also privately babysitting for several of those families.

Hi there, my name is Becca! I am a registered nurse and a recent graduate of North Park University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing l. I have experience with newborns to preteens. I have worked in a nursery for the past 9 years and through this experience I have learned to take on a very patient, kind, calm, adaptable, creative nature to connect with children. I enjoy implementing milestone activities with young children along with reading books, and doing arts and crafts during our time. In my own free time I love to bake, hike, read, and travel. I also am a lover of animals! I am newer to UrbanSitter and I would greatly appreciate an opportunity! I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with your family and to get to know your children!

“Hands down best sitter! Becca was on time and immediately jumped in getting to know our kids. She had no problem navigating bedtime and tidied up. We appreciated her flexibility and communication but most impressive, she really engaged our kiddos right when she walked through the door.”

Hello there! I'm Camila, a 27 year-old passionate about childcare and babysitting. With over 6 years of experience working with babies and toddlers here in America, I've developed a deep love for spending time with little ones and nurturing their development. In addition to childcare, I'm also happy to lend a hand with cooking, cleaning, or any other household chores that need to be taken care of. Being pet-friendly, I'm comfortable around dogs and cats. If you're in need of a responsible and caring childcare provider who will treat your little ones—and furry friends—with love and attention, I'd love to chat further. Let's create a safe and happy environment for your family together! Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Best, Camila
