Hi! my name is Tre’sha and i’m 18 looking for a side job to make a little extra money:) I have years of experience watching my cousins and nephews, worked at a daycare, and a nursing home. I'm very patient, good at multitasking, problem-solving, and event planning. i’m charismatic and fun so i feel like your kids will love me!
Pets: I've fostered hundreds of pets over the years & recently focused on crisis fostering & providing accessible pet care. I often pet sit in my home (which I share with Paisley Bark, a goofy bloodhound) so I usually have 2-5 dogs around. That said, I am able to provide separate space for pets who struggle with reactivity or who simply prefer a calmer environment. Social pets w/permission are welcome to interact with select others under close supervision in accordance w/their preferred personality/play style. For dogs w/separation anxiety (or owner convenience) I provide pick-up & drop-off services. I also offer services in client homes (check-ins, meals, let outs, walks, house sitting) based on the needs of your pet. As pet sitter w/experience caring for a range of medical needs including illness & injury, I am comfortable & adept administering most types of medication (oral, topical, & subcutaneous). I've worked with most breeds/sizes & a vast range of personalities/behavioral needs. I am a proponent of positive reinforcement strategies & I prefer to stick to any routines & schedules a pet is used to so I ask clients to share as much info as they can regarding rules, training, treats etc. so I can provide as consistent an experience as possible. Pet owners are the experts in the care of their pets & I aim to accommodate any requests/preferences. Though I have a lot of experience, owner input is essential to create an environment where both your pet & I are set up for success. Childcare: My mother ran a daycare out of our home & I started helping with the care of other children while I still was one & served as a live-in nanny for my nephew in his first years. Because I often pet sit in my home (to guarantee safety for all involved) I prefer to kid sit elsewhere. My background is Customer Success & Ops so in most of my adult life I've watched kids for friends only periodically but recently started caring for a few kids in my neighborhood. I myself am AuDHD (Autistic w/ADHD) & while we are all different, my experience has motivated me to be as accepting, safe, patient, & compassionate an adult for neurodiverse kids as I was lucky enough to have growing up. My caregiving relies heavily on parental guidance, the more I know the more successful I can be. I only sit for a few kids & while I'm open to more, I hope for open and direct communication with regards to expectations & boundaries to ensure I'm able to meet your definition of great care.
“Liz has been watching our dogs whenever we travel for the past 10 years! She takes incredible care of our pups, and has had them at all different age ranges - including puppy time frame (<18 months) all the way to a senior dog (14+) that needed lots of special care and medication. They are always happy, healthy, and (most importantly) tuckered out anytime they return home from a visit with their “Auntie Liz”! If you’re looking for an EXCELLENT pet sitter who takes incredible care of any animal she comes across, look no further! <3”
Hi! I am currently a psychology student in college, passionate, and patient about learning and working with children. I look forward to growing alongside them, playing, engaging, and fostering their development as I know its so important to give children quality time. I am also volunteering as a Reading Partners Tutor through a work-study program, where I am beginning to gain valuable experience using a structured curriculum to teach young children essential literacy skills.

Hi, my names Anthony and I’m a junior in college, which I am doing remotely. I currently work at Fridley Tiger Club where I work with kids before school, giving them breakfast, watching over them and making sure they’re safe, as well as interacting with them. I have four younger cousins that live really close to me that I watch from time to time, so I have a lot of experience with kids!

"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."
