Maddie $16 per hour for 1 child
Welcome to my profile! Over the years, I have gained invaluable experience in various fields, including tutoring for three years and working with people with disabilities for four years. As a former community mental health worker, I deeply value the importance of providing the best care possible. I believe that every child deserves to be nurtured in an environment that encourages their growth and self-expression. With my energetic nature and creativity, I love coming up with engaging games and activities to keep those I work with engaged. I am in my final year of completing my undergraduate in youth studies. I am committed to understanding the unique needs and challenges young people face. I am excited to share my knowledge and support their journey. In pursuit of furthering my impact, I am attending a master program next summer, working towards becoming a high school social studies teacher. If you're seeking a babysitter who embodies compassion, enthusiasm, and a dedication to creating a safe and inclusive space, please reach out!
Tiffani $23 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Tiffani and I am an aspiring speech language therapist/communication specialist. I have recently graduated from the University of Iowa with a bachelors in Speech and Hearing Sciences and will be attending the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities' Speech Language Therapy Program during Fall of 2026. As for my own personal interests and hobbies, I thoroughly enjoy cooking, biking, and finding fun crafts from Pinterest to do! I like to spend my free time in the nature and tufting rugs. I have a strong love for animals and currently have 3 cats of my own. Fun fact - but I also care for an outdoor colony of 6 cats! I have also cared for dogs, parakeets, and fish in my past as well. I have two years of experience working as a childcare assistant teacher and direct support professional. In these roles, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals of varying abilities and across different life stages—including toddlers, adults, and seniors. I consistently applied and strengthened my skills in cooking, cleaning, and running errands, while remaining attentive to the unique needs and personal goals of each individual. Through my experiences and educational background, I have a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and social demands and wellbeing of children and adults.

"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."
