I've been working with children for the last fifteen years! I started at Kumon Math and Reading before becoming a nanny for two families in Minnesota. I graduated from Northwestern in 2020 with degrees in Theatre, Marketing, and Film. Upon moving to LA, I became a full time nanny responsible for Zoom preschool and kindergarten. Although I've transitioned into working marketing back in the Twin Cities, I still love helping out as a date night sitter or part-time nanny.
“She's great! From the moment she walked in she got down to our toddlers level and started playing with her. She's super attentive and amazing at communication. We'd definitely recommend her as we plan to bring her back for our next date night! :)”

"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."
