I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. I chose this profession because I want to make a positive impact on their lives and support families by providing reliable child care. My formal and reserved nature complements my patient and calm demeanor, making me a comforting presence for children. I value open communication with parents and tailor my approach to their preferred methods. I ensure household rules are followed while prioritizing the parents' lead. I enjoy sensory and art activities that spark a child's creativity and individualism. I have a total of about 7 years of experience working in childcare centers, multiple different school districts and school programs. I'm ready to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to caring for your child. I am available to care for one child, aged 0 to 11 months old. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
My name is Priya and I am currently a first year Pharmacy student at University of Minnesota! I am currently looking for a part-time/as needed position to help save up for school. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Science and am CPR and BLS certified and have worked as a pharmacy technician for about two years; mostly have experience with young adults and seniors and would love to gain experience with younger kiddos as I have an interest for pediatric pharmacy!
I have over 25 years of experience in early childhood education and hold an Early Education Certificate from Rasmussen College. I’ve cared for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years in childcare centers, as a nanny, and through babysitting. I love bringing arts, crafts, STEM activities, and games to make learning fun. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable driving, cleaning, caring for multiple children, and love animals. I’m very communicative and always follow each family’s routine and preferences.
Hi! I'm a caregiver with over 10 years of experience caring for kids from infancy through middle school age, and over 10 years of experience caring for seniors as well. I'm also CPR certified, and I've spent 5+ years pet sitting and boarding cats and dogs. I'm warm, observant, and consistent — the people (and pets!) in my care feel comfortable with me quickly, and clients can count on me to stick to routines, follow instructions closely, and pay close attention to each individual's needs. Whether it's soothing an infant, keeping a senior company, or walking a dog, I bring the same level of care every time. I'd love to help support your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hi there! 👋 I have extensive childcare experience and absolutely love working with kids of all ages. For 7 years, I was a full-time nanny for a wonderful family with four children, which gave me hands-on experience balancing different ages, schedules, and personalities all at once. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and fun while also keeping things safe and structured. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or making sure bedtime runs smoothly, I truly enjoy supporting families and creating a positive environment for children to thrive.

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
