A very strong, passionate, energetic, jovial, dynamic and hardworking young lady. I live in Silver Spring Maryland and have my own transportation. As the first child of my family (with four younger siblings) I became familiar with responsibility at a very young age. I have literally been a mother since birth. :) My personality is quite calm and gentle. I am very communicative and make sure I become friends with the children in my care. It makes them feel more secure and comfortable. I enjoy cleaning a lot and seeing places neat and organized makes me happy. My years of experience at the daycares I worked in gave me ideas on Montessori... Very creative. I enjoy reading to kids and sharing stories with them. We actually take turns. I love painting, drawing and playing with kids. I'm very fluent in English and French and I am willing to teach kids French. I treat infants like my kids, and older kids like my siblings. CPR/First Aid trained and certified. Very patient and spontaneous. I will be honored working with you and your family. Stay blessed
Hello! My name is Ashley :) I am fully vaccinated - meaning I have received my COVID-19 vaccinations, boosters, and flu shot. I have a BA in Psychology and a minor in Counseling from San Francisco State University. I have a Masters in Social Welfare from University of California, Berkeley and am currently working towards my therapy license. I am certified in adult/child/infant first-aid, CPR, and AED use. I have the most experience with newborn-elementary age children. My previous work has included teaching social skills, coping/calming strategies, problem solving skills, and providing homework/behavioral assistance and enriching activities. **I can cook, love to clean/organize, and I am very responsible and respectful.
Hello! I live in the Linden Hills neighborhood (South Minneapolis) and I’m looking to be a nanny/babysitter/ personal assistant also a house and dog/cat sitter. I have many references and have done this for many years . I would like to work in my neighborhood or no more than 30 minutes drive. I am looking to work part time, flexible or occasional along with house and animal sitting for a period of time as you are away from home. Please consider me! I have many referrals. Thank you, Twyla
“Twyla was great with our son. He had so much fun with her! She was very patient and engaging!”
I am a substitute elementary teacher with West St Paul/Mendota Public Schools. I'm licensed to teach K-6th grade, but often work with younger children also. I have worked as a teacher for over ten years. Kindergarten is my favorite, but I think there is something great about kids of every age. I would be very open helping school-aged children with their homework or doing supplemental educational work with the kids. I can also hang out and have fun -- either inside or out. Whatever works best for you! I love cats and wouldn't mind a house with them. I am okay with dogs as well, to a lesser extent. I have my own transportation and am willing to drive the kiddos to appointments, sports, playdates, etc. I don't mind light housekeeping/cooking, especially for the kids. Please let me know if you are interested or have any questions. Thanks! Jane

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
