Hello! I am a healthcare worker with over 10 years of experience as a nurse assistant. I have worked on many different floors with many different patient populations. The most recent position I held and my all time favorite was working on a PostPartum floor for 4 years taking care of new moms and their newborn babies. I absolutely adored taking care of the precious little babies and being involved in such a beautiful and important time in so many people's lives. In the past I have also done home health for an older child with cerebral palsy, as well as babysat and helped raise children from ages 2 all the way to 13. In my personal life I love hiking and camping, but I also enjoy playing videogames and have a fairly indepth knowledge on how online gaming and how to apply proper parental controls and limits so children can safely navigate in that environment (if that is allowed within your parenting style). I also am comfortable with most pets and animals and providing their basic cares.
I’m a dedicated and experienced caregiver with a strong background working with children of all ages. I currently work as a Special Education Assistant with Minneapolis Public Schools, where I support students with diverse needs, including behavioral, emotional, and developmental support. As a mom of three, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and great at building trust with both kids and parents. I can help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and keeping kids engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities. I also have experience maintaining clean and organized homes through my cleaning business, so I naturally keep spaces tidy and comfortable. I’m passionate about helping families feel supported and giving parents peace of mind.
Hello! I am Maddy and I am a student at the University of South Florida. I am offering child-care and dog-care services (open to other pets, just no previous experience). I love working with children, and I have experience with all ages, and I have worked the most with ages 4-9. I have experience driving children, making simple meals, tutoring, arts and crafts, and gymnastics coaching! I worked at Little Feet Children’s Shoes and North Shore Gymnastics Association in high school and have babysat for my younger cousins. I am comfortable with dogs and have watched dogs for family and friends. I look forward to working with you!
My name is Clare and I am a Pediatric Occupational Therapist with a passion for working with children! I currently work for Children’s Minnesota but would love the opportunity to spend time babysitting and helping families in my community in my spare time. I am hard-working, creative, playful, and have extensive experience with children both professionally and personally. Originally from Colorado, I love spending time adventuring in the outdoors. I live with my husband in Minneapolis where we enjoy live music, hiking, skiing, and time with family.
My name is Taylor! I am an artist and an enthusiastic, positive person. I have some education in early childhood education with an art degree. I love to have fun and have no issue getting on the floor to play with your children. I have a background in arts facilitation and programming with children's age groups and adults/seniors with disabilities. I have experience with all age groups and began babysitting at 12. I now have 5 nieces and nephews ranging from 1-12 years that I get to care for frequently. I have experience watching twins as well. I am patient, fun, and dependable. I am looking for work outside of my Tuesday-Friday job. I am happy to help out here and there or discuss something more permanent. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!

"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
