Hello! My name is Randi. I’m originally from California, and lived in San Francisco for about 9 years before moving to Minneapolis this past March! I work full time in Human Resources for a tech company, but I’m remote 2 days a week and have a fairly flexible schedule for evening jobs. I have 10 years of experience on Urbansitter and babysitting in big cities! I have a safe, reliable car and I am very comfortable with household tasks and errands as well! I love working with children, and part time childcare work is the perfect fit for someone like me who needs a more flexible work schedule! Feel free to message me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you!

Hi I'm Rea ("ray"), I’m 21, and I have been working with kids for 9+ years. I am a natural born leader, very outgoing, and am very much a people and kids person. I have experience with caring for neurodivergent children, primarily autism and ADHD, and those with learning disabilities. In the past I have provided transportation to/from school or extracurriculars, crafts, and homework help. I also have experience as a family assistant. I am more than happy to cook, clean, and run errands.

"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."
