Hey there, my name is Bri! I am a fun loving and very caring individual who absolutely loves kids! Getting to know the kids on an individual level and forming bonds is my favorite part of the job. I have 24 years of experience, taking care of children from infants to preteens also ranging from taking care of one up to five children at a time. I also have some experience with special needs children. I studied premed in college, I went through EMT training and I am CPR certified twice over. Whether it's playing or helping with homework or getting kids ready for school or activities I have done it all and I am good at my job! I have a reliable vehicle and if the kiddos need rides to school, activities or playground visits I have plenty of room and I am a very safe driver. And when it comes to extra duties, like picking up after the kids, doing a few dishes or other small household chores, I am there to help! If you need a résumé or any references, please let me know. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to hear from you soon!

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! Best- Becca (she/her) Provided Upon Request- Proof of CPR/BLS certification, Covid-19 Vaccination, & References/Resume

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.
