I am a substitute elementary teacher with West St Paul/Mendota Public Schools. I'm licensed to teach K-6th grade, but often work with younger children also. I have worked as a teacher for over ten years. Kindergarten is my favorite, but I think there is something great about kids of every age. I would be very open helping school-aged children with their homework or doing supplemental educational work with the kids. I can also hang out and have fun -- either inside or out. Whatever works best for you! I love cats and wouldn't mind a house with them. I am okay with dogs as well, to a lesser extent. I have my own transportation and am willing to drive the kiddos to appointments, sports, playdates, etc. I don't mind light housekeeping/cooking, especially for the kids. Please let me know if you are interested or have any questions. Thanks! Jane
Hello, my name is Jasmin and here is a little bit about me. I have 3 younger siblings whom I have baby sat and raise throughout the years. In my personal experiences, I have babysat children from ages 2 and up and jobs consisted of helping with homework, playtime, and bedtime duties. Implement developmentally appropriate entertainment, fair discipline and creating stimulating environment for children in my care. I can clean, organize, work well with both as an individual or part of a team, and complete a request to the prime of my capacity. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication Disorder and Sciences and a doctorate degree in Audiology. Throughout my studies and I have taken three child development courses. I see how many of the different topics I learned in my child development classes help me in my interactions with the children and I have applied many strategies I have learned in applying fair discipline and a stimulating environment while the children are in my care. I admire working with children and create activities to keep entertained, imaginary play, dancing, board games, and an aptitude for arts and crafts. I have excellent communication skills and I enjoy talking to and helping out people. I pride myself in taking on challenges and growing and learning from my different experiences whether they are good or bad. Any experience is a good learning experience. I look forward to the contingency I gain and the household I will accommodate. Thank you.
“She is fantastic. She's responsible, professional, and kind. My kids adored her. She managed our often chaotic household with aplomb. Wholeheartedly reccomend.”
56 year old retired mother of 2 adult children and small dog looking for some extra cash and getting out. I’m very experienced neurotypical kids but also with autism/spectrum disorders, ADHD, anxiety and mental health challenges kids sometimes face. They don’t phase me! 20 years of meditation has cultivated a calm, loving and patient perspective in me. Modeling this helps deregulated kids and even seniors who can get easily overwhelmed by life. Let me help them and cover for you while you take care of errands, appointments or yourself! Looking forwards to meeting you!
“Lisa was a great calming presence and did great with our son, we would love to have her back again!”
Hi there! My name is Jamie, and I have a passion for working one on one with children ages 0-5. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Family and Human Development in 2025, and have three years combined professional experience working in child care settings.
Hello! My name is Bekah and I am a NICU nurse. My journey to nursing is rooted in my desire to care for others and integrate my background in sociology with hands-on work. I grew up caring for my siblings and cousins, always wanting to take part in things like diaper changes and bottle feeding, even when I was a bit too young. I am instinctively attuned to the needs of others which lends itself to my future career and to caregiving in general. I specialize in over night newborn care and being a “mother’s helper.” I can assist with feeding, lactation, sleep, and other newborn needs!

"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."
