Sophie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophie and I am a theatre performer and educator from the Twin Cities. I have been teaching theatre and creative play lessons with various theatre companies across the metro since 2022. I have experience babysitting and nannying from ages 6 months - 12 years and regularly do dog walking. I have also worked in Montessori utilizing both Montessori and Reggio Emilia teaching philosophies. I am vibrant, creative, and adaptable when it comes to childcare. I have completed resilience based (trauma-informed) childcare training as well as having CPR certification. I have a BFA in Musical Theatre and love to incorporate music and theatricality into childcare! I grew up with dogs in my home, am very fond of cats, and open to learning about and meeting other furry friends. In my years of babysitting (and just living) I have become proficient in maintaining a clean space and house structure.

Katie $18 per hour for 1 child

I'm Katie, a recent college graduate (Macalester College) with a BA in Creative Writing and Classical Mediterranean history. For the past eight summers, I have worked at Go Girls summer camp in Oakland, California, as an assistant drama teacher, helping kids to express themselves and learn life skills through the creation of their own play. As such, I've learned a lot about how to teach kindness, resolve disagreements, and bring out creativity. Being a camp counselor for a wide range of ages (5-11) has also helped me develop a good amount of patience and multitasking skills that translate well to babysitting siblings. I enjoy working with elementary-school-aged kids, but I also have experience with younger kids, two and above, including overnight work. I'm good with animals, having two cats and a dog at home, and I'm open to doing household tasks like laundry, dishes, light cleaning, etc. I also have a car and a clean driving record. First-time sits have a five-dollar discount on my hourly rate. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

alyssa $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Alyssa. I recently graduated and studied Biology, and I’m someone who’s caring, dependable, and easy to get along with. I enjoy being around kids and creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where they can feel supported. I’ve always enjoyed helping and caring for others, which is one reason caregiving feels rewarding to me. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their children, so I always try to be patient, responsible, and attentive. Whether it’s helping with routines, keeping kids entertained, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, I always want to create a positive experience. A little about me personally: I enjoy spending time with family and friends, learning new things, and staying active. I’m excited about the opportunity to connect with families and provide dependable care that parents can feel confident in.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
