Grace $15 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Grace and I'm a student at the University of Minnesota! I work with kids for my university job and am frequently responsible for their care. In high school I also babysat for as young as 3 years old around my community. I am a good cook, love to hang out and play games, and have animals at my apartment so I'm more than comfortable with a few furry friends :)
Alexandra $17 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I am Alexandra. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Minnesota. I am studying elementary education and child development. I love working with kids! My dad is the youngest of nine, so babies and kids have always been a part of my life. For the past four summers, I have been a lifeguard and swim instructor with the City of St. Paul. Currently, I volunteer in the school at the Ronald McDonald House and in high school I was a volunteer tutor at a homeless shelter, so I have lots of experience with homework help! I am also a huge animal lover. I love doing arts and crafts, getting outside, and playing games with kids!
Torsey $15 per hour for 1 child
Hey, my name's Torsey. I come from a household of nine siblings, me being the middle child. I took care of my siblings, and naturally began babysitting afterwards. I'm tidy and goal-oriented, I love to learn and teach as well. I'm very well-versed in fitness, (particularly running and combat sports), writing, and history, and nutrition. No matter who I'm looking after, I will put my best put my best foot forward and provide the best care I can. Any skill of mine is a skill of my clients and their families.
Rachel $25 per hour for 1 child
Looking for a nurturing and engaging childcare provider for your little one? I'm a 30-year-old with a passion for child development (and a Master's in Clinical Social Work in the works!). With years of experience, I bring warmth, humor, and love for creativity and curiosity. My background in neurodiversity allows me to connect with all kinds of kids, from those with special needs to those thriving typically. Understanding attachment theory helps me create a safe and supportive environment where your child can blossom. Let's chat and see if we're a good fit!

"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."
