Booked by 1 family in Minneapolis, MN

Hi there. ! My name is Jake. I am a easy going, down to earth, loving, nurturing care giver. I have looked after little ones ages ranging I habe an associate degree in Child Development from newborns to 8 year olds. I love being around little ones. I also love animals as wel, a clean record and I am also a ACC graduate.

“Jacob is so kind and is basically the baby whisperer; my little 9m.o. girl who can be very spirited (read:fussy) calms right down when she’s hanging out with Jake. He’s super flexible with his schedule and communicates well. I recommend him and plan to keep him around as part of our extended family:)”

Booked by 12 families in Minneapolis, MN

Hi, my name is Zoe! I have worked with kids in various settings over the past 12 years as a babysitter, nanny, tutor, and ski instructor. My previous work has been with a wide range of ages from newborns to teenagers. I have experience working with different dietary restrictions and food allergies. I am trained on how to use an epipen and have previously been CPR certified. Currently, I am a student at Concordia University in St. Paul studying Child Learning and Development. I enjoy crafts, the outdoors, reading, and staying active. One of my favorite parts of working with kids is engaging in imaginative play. I love helping kids explore their surroundings as well encouraging them to use their minds to solve problems and come up with new ideas. I place a high value on play and feel it is fundamental to the growth and development of children. Through play children gain new skills and understand the world better. As a caregiver it is an honor to be apart of children’s play experiences. I believe that it is important to guide children so they can develop critical thinking skills rather than giving them all the answers or simply doing it for them. My hope is to not only help children flourish but to see families thrive. Along with supporting children my goal is to support parents so that at the end of the day families can engage in meaningful play together. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

“Zoe was fantastic with our kids. She arrived on time and was thoughtful. We were able to enjoy the evening out without worries. Would absolutely recommend and have again! Thank you! ”

Booked by 2 families in Minneapolis, MN

Hi, I’m Maddie! I grew up in a big family and naturally became the built in babysitter for my younger siblings and cousins. I have experience with all ages (infants-13 years). I worked in a school district for 4 of my summers during high school. I also worked in a daycare for 1 year while a freshman in college before I became a part-time nanny for two wonderful kids for the rest of my college career. Currently I nanny 2 wonderful kids ages 2 and 3 in the Minneapolis area. I love all pets and can assist with walking, feeding, playing and exercising.

“We’re so grateful to have found Maddie! She is wonderful! She is professional, attentive, and clearly great with kids. Our son had such a fun time with her that he didn’t want her to leave and is already asking when she’ll come back. She even took the time to tidy up his toys and play area, which we really appreciated. We’d absolutely recommend Maddie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

Brianna 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

I’m a 24 year old, college educated caregiver with a BFA in Graphic Design and a strong background in childcare. I have experience nannying for a 4 and 7 year old, and I’ve been a consistent caregiver for my 3 year old niece since she was 4 months old. I have a big imagination and love encouraging imaginative play, outdoor exploration, and creative activities. I bring a warm, patient, and playful approach to childcare and enjoy supporting kids as they grow, learn, and express themselves.

“I’m so happy to recommend my Sister, Brianna Pothen, as an absolutely wonderful babysitter for our family. I have a very energetic three-year-old daughter and a newborn son, so finding someone patient, engaged, and truly present with the kids has been a game-changer—and that’s exactly what Brianna is. She is incredible at keeping my toddler happily entertained without ever relying on screens. We both share the same philosophy about limiting screen time, and I love that she never turns on the TV or hands over a tablet “just to keep him quiet.” The only exception is the rare occasion when she pops on something calming for ten minutes while she’s preparing dinner for the kids—and even then she feels guilty about it! Otherwise, it’s arts and crafts, dress-up, silly made-up games, “restaurant” with play food, blanket forts, dance parties, you name it. My daughter literally jumps up and down screaming her name when she hears she’s coming over. She talks about “the funny games we made up with “Auntie Boo” for days afterward. With the baby she’s equally gentle and attentive—rocking, singing, soothing, changing diapers without ever being asked. She somehow manages both ages beautifully, giving my newborn the calm he needs while still making my three-year-old feel like the most special big sister on earth. Brianna is responsible, punctual, communicative, and genuinely loves what she does. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found someone who parents the way we do—lots of creativity, laughter, and real connection, almost no screens. Any family would be fortunate to have her!”

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
