Booked by 41 families in Richfield, MN

Hello! My name is Randi. I’m originally from California, and lived in San Francisco for about 9 years before moving to Minneapolis this past March! I work full time in Human Resources for a tech company, but I’m remote 2 days a week and have a fairly flexible schedule for evening jobs. I have 10 years of experience on Urbansitter and babysitting in big cities! I have a safe, reliable car and I am very comfortable with household tasks and errands as well! I love working with children, and part time childcare work is the perfect fit for someone like me who needs a more flexible work schedule! Feel free to message me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you!

Booked by 36 families in Richfield, MN

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.

Booked by 1 family in Richfield, MN

Hi there! My name is Erika and I have been a nanny for about 4 years now. I have experience with infants (4 months) to 12 years old. Additionally, I'm a 2nd-year graduate student studying to become a Speech Pathologist at UMN where most of my clinical work is focused on pediatrics. I'm CPR certified and was a certified nursing assistant for multiple years. Along with childcare, I have taken additional opportunities for watching pets (dogs, and cats). I'm looking for occasional childcare or petcare opportunities during the evenings or weekends. I would love to form a relationship to become a recurring contact and support for your family! I'm looking forward to hearing from you and setting up a time to discuss opportunities. Thanks!

Booked by 5 families in Richfield, MN

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!”
