I have been babysitting/nannying since I was 13 years old (so decades at this point!). I am a classroom teacher (certified in EBD, DD, and SLD) and have taught all grade levels for over 14 years. I also taught K-5 gym and yoga for 4 years. I love playing with kids, being silly, singing, dancing, and spending time outside. I love cartoons, toys...and well, I'm a kid at heart! My priority is your child's well-being and safety. I have cat and dog sit and have spent considerable time with seniors either through social events or teaching yoga.
Hi I’m Katy ! I’m a full time flight attendant part time baby sitter and pet sitter as well. I adore kids they tend to be my favorite passengers on the plane and I love to help out family’s when I can! I was a nanny in high school for a couple families as well as a regular babysitter for others and I wanted to get back to it!
“Katy was extremely kind and took great care of my two kids. They played and she listened to them intently. When I got home my kids were so excited to tell me all about all the fun they had with her. She also updated me on how they were doing without me asking for it🩷 Thank you so much again!”
Hi! My name is Audrey, and I am an elementary school teacher. I am offering child care, housesitting, and household services for the summer, and for occasional jobs throughout the school year. I have been a babysitter and nanny for over twelve years. I enjoy taking care of kids of all ages! nny (My responsibilities have included driving to/from camps, sports and other activities. I can also cook, love to clean, and I am creative! I enjoy spending time with children and I know I would not be who I am without my nanny kids! I love dogs & cats! A little bit more about me: I have been a public school educator for 3 years, and have a background in special education. During highschool I worked 3 years in a row as summer camp staff, leading preschool groups and soccer camps. During highschool, I worked for Children’s Discovery as a teachers aide in the infant room. I have a variety of skills that I’ve collected over the years, and I would share them in a way that can help you and your family! - Audrey
Hello! My name is Tana and I am 24 years old. I have been babysitting since I was 14, and have experience with all ages of kids. I also have experience working as an Au Pair in Italy, and as an assistant language teacher in Bosnia. In my free time I like to spend time outside, crochet, read, and play guitar. I have a very positive attitude and love to have fun. When I am spending time with kids, I love to do arts and crafts, play outside, cook/bake together, dance, and play with toys.
Hey there! My name is Elaina, and I go to the University of Minnesota! I have worked with kids since 2023 as a nanny, and as of May this year, I work at a preschool! I became CPR certified in June as well. I absolutely love being around kids, and I have a major passion for early childhood development. I have worked with children from 3 months of age to age 14! My hours can be pretty flexible, and I am open to coming to meet your kids before you hire me to get a feel for the dynamic! Let me know if you have any questions:)

"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."
