Booked by 6 families in Hopkins, MN

Hello! I’m glad you found my page! I am an experienced and attentive caregiver with over 15 years of babysitting experience including full-time nannying for six years, ELS teaching assistant for a semester and 4 years as a water safety instructor for children ages 6 months- 15 years old. I have experience caring full time while parents go on vacation, doing school pickup/drop offs or overnights. I majored in Psychology in college and took classes on childhood development. I have a complex understanding of meeting children where they are at and allowing them autonomy in discovering the world (safety always being the first priority). I am a present, engaging and active caregiver with lots of experience taking toddlers out for different activities around the city including the Como Zoo, MIA, Walker Art Center, MOA, the wilderness center, library story times, plays, children’s yoga, swimming, etc! I am a crafty person and I like to engage in different arts and crafts projects as well with the kiddos. A socialization and learning experience in one is my goal! I love cooking, trying out new recipes and having dinner parties truly sparks joy for me! One of my favorite aspects of Minneapolis summer is biking all around town and spending evenings on the beach or taking a kayak out on the lakes. As a lifeguard for 6 years I love the water and swimming whenever I get the chance. I regularly practice yoga. I’m an animal lover and often pet sit or volunteer at the humane society too! I’m happy to watch any furry friends!

“For my first time using one of these apps Lauren made me and my son feel at ease. would definitely hire Lauren again. my son really enjoyed hanging out with her and asked me right away when she is coming back! communicated well and on time. ”

Hi, my name is Riya I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, currently I work as the Local Childcare Coordinator for GreatAuPairUSA. I've gained organizing skills, cleaning, cooking, etc. I love arts & crafts, making yummy dishes like homemade mac and cheese to my homemade chocolate chip cookies. I also love animals like dogs and cats; I grew up with both but also don't mind pet snakes and other little creatures! I myself have niece's and a nephew as well as gained a daughter from the loss of a friend unfortunately, but I treat her as if she was my own blood. I am adopted and understand what it's like to feel so different from the rest, and having a brother and father with disabilities, has truly taught me how kindness and patience help those around you succeed. My passion is childcare, I believe in creating a warm, fun, inviting atmosphere allows children to feel comfortable enough to grown, learn and have fun all together. I started working with children in high school, and over the last 10 years have moved up from babysitting, nannying to taking over a preschool program at the Minneapolis Park and Recreation board, to after school program for years then becoming the activities assistant for a Montessori while assisting the assistant director. I'd help with the environment of the school building and managing staff and helping with each room between infants - preschool age. But I have experience with all ages up to highschoolers.

“We've had Riya over twice now to watch our cats while we are gone and she's great!”

Booked by 2 families in Hopkins, MN

Hi, I’m Maddie! I grew up in a big family and naturally became the built in babysitter for my younger siblings and cousins. I have experience with all ages (infants-13 years). I worked in a school district for 4 of my summers during high school. I also worked in a daycare for 1 year while a freshman in college before I became a part-time nanny for two wonderful kids for the rest of my college career. Currently I nanny 2 wonderful kids ages 2 and 3 in the Minneapolis area. I love all pets and can assist with walking, feeding, playing and exercising.

“We’re so grateful to have found Maddie! She is wonderful! She is professional, attentive, and clearly great with kids. Our son had such a fun time with her that he didn’t want her to leave and is already asking when she’ll come back. She even took the time to tidy up his toys and play area, which we really appreciated. We’d absolutely recommend Maddie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

Brianna 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a 24 year old, college educated caregiver with a BFA in Graphic Design and a strong background in childcare. I have experience nannying for a 4 and 7 year old, and I’ve been a consistent caregiver for my 3 year old niece since she was 4 months old. I have a big imagination and love encouraging imaginative play, outdoor exploration, and creative activities. I bring a warm, patient, and playful approach to childcare and enjoy supporting kids as they grow, learn, and express themselves.

“I’m so happy to recommend my Sister, Brianna Pothen, as an absolutely wonderful babysitter for our family. I have a very energetic three-year-old daughter and a newborn son, so finding someone patient, engaged, and truly present with the kids has been a game-changer—and that’s exactly what Brianna is. She is incredible at keeping my toddler happily entertained without ever relying on screens. We both share the same philosophy about limiting screen time, and I love that she never turns on the TV or hands over a tablet “just to keep him quiet.” The only exception is the rare occasion when she pops on something calming for ten minutes while she’s preparing dinner for the kids—and even then she feels guilty about it! Otherwise, it’s arts and crafts, dress-up, silly made-up games, “restaurant” with play food, blanket forts, dance parties, you name it. My daughter literally jumps up and down screaming her name when she hears she’s coming over. She talks about “the funny games we made up with “Auntie Boo” for days afterward. With the baby she’s equally gentle and attentive—rocking, singing, soothing, changing diapers without ever being asked. She somehow manages both ages beautifully, giving my newborn the calm he needs while still making my three-year-old feel like the most special big sister on earth. Brianna is responsible, punctual, communicative, and genuinely loves what she does. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found someone who parents the way we do—lots of creativity, laughter, and real connection, almost no screens. Any family would be fortunate to have her!”

Booked by 2 families in Hopkins, MN

Hi! I’m Sayma. I grew up in Minneapolis and am one of the oldest of 9 siblings, so caring for others has always been a big part of my life. I’m currently finishing my studies at the University of Minnesota, focusing on psychology. Outside of Urbansitter, I work as an IHS (Individualized Home Supports) worker, where I support individuals with their daily needs and help them become more independent. I’m looking for part-time and occasional jobs that work around my school and work schedule. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and families, and I’m dependable, patient, caring, and comfortable helping with everyday routines. I’m also CPR trained and can provide pet care, senior care, and household help when needed.

“Sayma was fantastic with my two girls. She went above & beyond by taking them swimming at the pool with another family who live in the same apartment building. Then, she gave both girls baths right after. Great work - very professional. Josh”

"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."
