Booked by 2 families in Minneapolis, 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!”

Kylie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kylie, and I started babysitting when I was 11. I’ve mainly been responsible for school age children, but I work with infants and toddlers at my church. I am also great with pets and can watch them too. I was a CNA and have knowledge of first aid and medication handling if that is needed. I can also cook and clean! I’m looking for the occasional job or full time and then being the recurring contact for families to be able to get to know the kiddos to ensure they have fun too!

Myshalaya $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name’s Shalaya, and I’m an 18-year-old mom with a beautiful daughter of my own. I’m fun, caring, and super patient — especially with energetic kids! I currently work as a PCA, so I have experience helping others and making sure people are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, so I treat every kid like my own — with love, attention, and fun. I enjoy doing activities, playing games, going outside (when the weather’s nice), and keeping kids busy in a good way. I’m available during the day while my daughter’s in school (9am-3pm) and some evenings if needed. I’d love to help another parent out and make sure your child is in safe, positive hands! I DONT DRIVE !

"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."
