Journie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Journie! 💕 I’m a college student, athlete, and future teacher who loves staying active and spending time with kids. I played basketball at Morton College and have wrestled since sixth grade, including competing in freestyle wrestling at Fargo and receiving a wrestling scholarship. Outside of sports, I love being outdoors, exploring nature, reading, and singing. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education because I hope to become a teacher one day. I’ve been working with children for almost three years as a kids counselor at my local park district. I spent two years with the Mavericks program, working with K–3rd graders, and this year I work with Trailblazers, working with 3rd–6th graders. I help supervise kids, organize activities, play sports like basketball and soccer, and even help run sports programs at the park district. I’m energetic, patient, responsible, and love creating a safe and fun environment where kids can be themselves!

Paola $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an energetic and passionate nanny. I've been babysitting for children of various ages- from preschool to pre-teens. I am also familiar with age-appropriate activities, bedtime routines, and meal prep. I truly enjoy working with children. I am fluent in Spanish too. I'd describe my personality as fun, patience, and responsable. I like working with kids because every day can be different with them, they go through stages and changing every day. I like playing with them and providing them with all my love. In my spare time, I like to paint and create new stuff. I am working on an art project and I am trying to build my brand. One thing you should know about me is that I am someone committed and do my job with love and passion. I look to connect with the kids I work with and make a fun and nurturing environment for them.

Hi my name is Liberty. I am a 21 year old special needs pre - k teacher looking for a side job. I am in school to become a pediatric nurse. I love fun activities, helping out, making the kids day better. I can cook, clean, and complete any tasks needed. I was a daycare assistant in my grandmas daycare since I was 13.

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
