My name is Lungile and I am currently a kids caregiver. I have been working at my current job for the last 3 years. Before I started as a caregiver, I was studying a Social Dynamics. My current job includes responsibilities like cooking, doing admin work, playing and entertaining the kids. One of the kids I take care of also had special needs. I am very patient and kind. I love being active and creative. I have worked and volunteered at a children’s orphanage for many years.
Hi! My name is Faye. I have a degree in Psychology and Biblical Studies from Oak Hills Christian College. I have three children of my own, two of which are on the spectrum. I am accustomed to helping children work through their troubles. Sometimes, we all have big feelings! I most enjoy taking care of babies and toddlers. I love animals, having a dog and three cats myself. I am comfortable with animals inside or outside. In particular, I have experience with: dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, fish, tortoises, goats and chickens. I am happy to learn more! My main interests are reading, music and herbalism. I like fantasy and sci-fi( I'm a big nerd), and will gladly discuss Tolkien at length. I always have a little garden for my kids to free range for snacks, and will often dry herbs for food or salves. I have been a stay-at-home mom for several years because of our children's needs. They are getting older now, so I would like to branch out again. Please let me know if my experience meets your needs. I hope that we can be a blessing to eachother! Faye W.
Hello, I am Wafaa. I am 20 years old. I have a 1 year old son and step kids. I obviously have taken care of a newborn and ages 3-4+. I have a sister I used to take care of when she was little. I love watching movies with my step daughter and my son. I love going on walks and to the indoor or outdoor parks!
After babysitting friends children and my own nieces and nephews for 20 years. I’ve recently started doing it for others. My friends and family will tell you that I really like kids and kids really like me. I'm good at crafting, helping with homework, and keeping kids busy away from the screens. In addition to the babies and toddlers I am presently nannying, I currently have three nieces who are 7, a niece who is 10, nephews that are 14 and 18 and nieces that are 20 and 21. So I am familiar with child development from birth to adulthood. What I love about little ones is how fast they learn and they change so much it’s like meeting a new kid every week! I’m not just an occasional babysitter. I have been with these kids anywhere from 10 to 30 hours a week depending on the week. If I’ve learned one thing it is that every child is different, every parent is different and clear communication is the key to success. I will work hard to meet your expectations, ask questions where necessary and use my judgment in emergencies. I’m a non-smoker, I have a reliable car and I am fully vaccinated for COVID and everything else. I am CPR certified and I have taken classes in SIDS/abusive head trauma and pediatric first aid.
Hi all! My name is Alex, and I’m currently taking a gap year before starting PA school. I’m a certified CNA, BLS certified, and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of St. Thomas. I currently work casually at a hospital and recently served as an in-home PCA for a woman with ALS. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide compassionate, attentive care — and I bring that same level of dedication when working with children. I also have experience babysitting and have volunteered at a youth camp, helping lead fun and safe activities for kids of various ages. With my background in healthcare and child care, I offer a calm, reliable, and engaging presence. I’m especially attentive to safety and enjoy supporting children’s learning and creativity. 📍 Available for part-time or occasional babysitting Ideal Rates: $20–$25+/hour (depending on number of kids) Comfortable with all ages Located in Woodbury, MN If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and nurturing to care for your kids, I’d love to connect!

"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."
