I'm a mother who raised my son with gentle parenting rooted in child development. As a single mom, I co-raised children with a trusted group of single mothers. I've cared for nieces, nephews, and cousins my whole life. I've also been a professional housecleaner. I'm trauma-informed, certified in health coaching, and believe in meeting children, pets, and senior adults where they are with patience, creativity, and respect.
Hi, I am Brandi. I am currently in my junior year at Metropolitan State University. I am offering child care, senior care and household services! I love spending time with family as it’s important to me! I have been babysitting for a couple years now. I enjoy doing activities such as coloring, playing games, and crafts with children. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands as well. I am comfortable with senior care as well, I have been a caretaker for my grandparents for quite some time now. My grandpa recently passed, and I believe everyone deserves to be taken care of properly at no matter what age. I can drive to appointments and do other tasks as well. I adore animals, I grew up with three cats. Now I have 3 dogs, I am happy to take dogs on walks and engage with pets!
Hello! My name is Kennesha. With over 10 years of dedicated experience caring for others, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, patience, and heartfelt commitment to childcare. My journey began in adult care, which deepened my compassion and understanding for individuals at all stages of life, and naturally extended to nurturing children. I have hands-on experience with every age group, from delicate infants to energetic school-age children. This has taught me the importance of adapting to each child's individual needs, fostering a safe environment for exploration, and supporting developmental milestones through engaging play and learning activities. Currently, I provide childcare out of my loving home. This setting allows me to offer a cozy, secure, and family-oriented atmosphere where your child will feel right at home. As a grandparent myself, I am also happily caring for my grandchildren, which means your little one will have the opportunity for positive social interaction in a small, familial group. My Credentials & Approach: · 10+ Years of combined experience in childcare and adult care. · Certified in First Aid and CPR, ensuring your child's safety is my top priority. · A holistic focus on emotional well-being, respectful communication, and age-appropriate activities. · A safe, clean, and child-proofed home environment designed for play and growth. I believe in partnering with parents to provide consistent, reliable, and nurturing care. I understand the trust you place in a caregiver, and I am committed to offering peace of mind while your child is in my care. I would love to connect to discuss how I can support your family's needs!
Hello! My name is Kara. I have a little 3 year old boy. I have 2 huskies and love spending time with with the family. I am from Minnesota and have grown to love the seasons( hahah especially now that I have huskies) We are always on the go and active. I know life gets crazy so I hope to alleviate some of the stress for families. I love forming connections with families in the community to bring that sense of community back. I am also a housekeeper and worked in Special Education for 15 years. I love helping people in anyway that I can. I grew up helping raise my nieces and nephews, as well as cousins. The pitter patter of little feet brings joy to my heart. I have worked with littles in elementary schools as well as adults in transition programs… and senior care as well. I currently work part time in a group home. I look forward to getting to know you!
Hi! My name is Beydan and I am currently a senior at the University of Minnesota I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience caring for kids of all different ages! As the oldest in my family, I’ve always been the one looking after the little ones, so being around kids has always felt super natural to me. I also spent two years working with children at autism centers, which gave me even more experience working with different personalities and needs. I enjoy spending time with kids, whether that’s playing games, doing activities, helping with homework, or just hanging out and keeping them entertained. I’m patient, easygoing, dependable, and would love to be someone your family can feel comfortable and happy having around!

"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."
