Gloria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Gloria, and I am currently in my third year in college studying biology. I started taking care of my siblings at the age of 12, from a newborn stage. I loved taking care of kids so much that I started volunteering at my church's nursery, where I watched children aged 0–5 years during Sunday services. Furthermore, I worked as a tutor during my first year of college, tutoring kindergarteners and first-graders. Additionally, I worked as an Adventure Plus staff member, working with kindergartners to 6th graders. Currently, I still babysit children of family members who are within the 2–12-year-old range.

Lello $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lello, I'm 20, and I'm a rising junior at Northwestern University but I'm originally from Champlin, MN. I'm offering mainly child care, but I am also open to pet care (cat-sitting specifically), senior care (cooking and driving to appointments primarily), and household services. I have a lot of caretaking experience for people of all ages :) I currently work as a Home Health Aide for 4 senior citizens with behavioral issues and have also been a caretaker for my grandmother who lives with me. Since I was around 12, I have been relied on by aunts and uncles to be the primary babysitter to all the kids in my extended family. I love my little cousins, I love kids in general, and they tend to love me! My responsibilities for them have included watching, cooking, and homework help for infants, toddlers, and kids. I have had a license for 4 years and I can drive clients to and from appointments, school, activities, practice, etc.

Eliana $19 per hour for 1 child

I’m Eliana, and I’m super excited to help take care of your kids! While I’m new to formal babysitting, I have a lot of experience from being a certified lifeguard. For over a year, I was responsible for making sure everyone stayed safe around water, and that involved CPR, first aid, and handling emergency situations. I’m confident these skills will help keep your kids safe and give you peace of mind when I’m watching them. I also love finding fun and creative ways to keep kids entertained. Whether it’s reading stories, playing games, or spending time outside, I’m always looking for activities that are fun and can also help kids learn. I’m patient, reliable, and take time to get to know each child to make sure they feel comfortable with me. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only responsible but also loves working with kids, I’d love to chat and see how I can help out!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
