Hi! My name is Marta and I’m a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, based out of northeast Minneapolis. I have a car and am willing to travel pretty much anywhere in the metro area. I am comfortable with small children, although no infants at this time due to my lack of experience there, as well as animals and seniors if needed. I have chronic pain but can do light housekeeping tasks and small errands if needed! Overall, I am a very competent and motivated worker and others would be able to attest that. I’m also extremely upbeat, fun, and positive! I’m determined to not let my chronic pain get in the way of my ability to work, so I’m taking proactive measures to manage it! I’m very flexible right now, as I’m only in school part-time. I don’t mind driving kids to sports games and appointments, it’s just lifting heavy objects like a ton of groceries that’s hard for me! Please let me know if you’re interested, thanks. :)
Hi! My name is Hailey and I recently graduated from the University of Minnesota with a bachelors of science degree in environmental science. I am currently taking a gap year before going to get my masters and wanted to work in an environment where I can gain more experience with younger audiences and make an impact on youth! I enjoy reading, hiking, painting, baking, running, and much more. I am available to work Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays anytime between 1-10 pm, Wednesdays 5 am- 4 pm, and Saturdays 12:30-10 pm!
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."
