Clare $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Eloho $50 per hour for 1 child

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!

Leticia $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi - my name is Leticia and I’m from Brazil. I’m currently studying business at MCTC. I already have a full-job but they’re leaving for spring break (03/24-03/28) and I am looking for child care, pet care, or household services for the time period. I love babysitting and has been my main job for the last five years - and my secondary job since I was 18. From infants to teenagers - including twins and multiple kids. I have had many types of responsibilities during this time - driving to/from activities, meal prepping, helping with homework, crafts, etc. I’ve also worked as household assistant, helping with errands, light cleaning, some cooking. I love to work with dogs and cats and I'm super comfortable around them. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks :)

"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."
