Maria 2 reviews
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Elk River, MN

Hii my name is Maria, I've been working with children for about two years, primarily caring for toddlers through older kids. My experience has included everything from engaging little ones in play and helping with routines, to planning fun activities for older children. Growing up with a younger sibling helped me get a sense of responsibility and patience early on, and it's a big part of what sparked my interest in childcare. I love getting creative with kids whether it's making crafts, doing simple science experiments, or putting together themed activity days. I'm also happy to take children out for a change of scenery, whether that's to a local park, museum, or an after-school activity. I'm comfortable driving and enjoy helping kids explore the world around them in fun and safe ways. I am also starting college in the fall.

“Maria was fantastic with our 2.5 year old twins. She was energetic, kind, and the girls loved her. We will absolutely be having her back!!!”

I can also help with light housekeeping, laundry, and anything in the kitchen. Proof of current infant/child/adult CPR and First Aid certificate available upon request.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."
