Makayla $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Makayla, and I do have siblings of my own. One of which I've been around her whole life (7 years). I know how to cook, clean, take care of dogs, and I also love playing games, and doing arts and crafts.

Clover $19 per hour for 1 child

I would love to be a nanny because I genuinely enjoy working with kids and creating a fun, engaging, and safe environment for them. I’ve always loved working with kids and have hands-on experience through AmeriCorps and dance training, where I learned how to keep children active and happy. I’m currently in college studying kinesiology with a focus on child and adolescent development, so I understand how important movement and play are for kids as they grow. I’m available on weeknights and weekends and would be so excited to create a safe and fun environment for your child while you take some well-deserved time for yourself!

Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Olivia. I’m 25 years old. I’m trying to find a summer nanny job as I’m due in early August. I would love to come back afterwards. I prefer developing relationships and keeping consistency. I have two years studying psychology in hopes of working and helping children in the future. I’ve been working in childcare for about 3 years, primarily with toddlers-prek. I’ve babysat and nannied throughout my highschool and early college years. I’ve traveled with families and have experience working with children on the spectrum. Working in childcare as a lead teacher, I’m used to being with 7-10 kids by myself, with the a whole day of planned of activities. I like to stay busy! I am CPR/first aid certified. I have Nursing Assistant experience as well. I have a one year old myself and would love to take her along to enjoy the activities and to have a playmate or two! I’m very artistic, creative, adventurous and a huge nature person. If I can, I will be outside! I love arts and crafts, going on adventures, and seeing the spark/confidence of kids when they learn. I’m not a technology person as I believe it depletes real learning that comes from experience, play and social skills. I’m willing to do household tasks, cook, help with school and potty training. Let’s chat and we can discuss! Ps. I am not Covid vaccinated nor my daughter-not willing to change that. Thanks for reading this far! I hope you reach out and get to know me further 🥰🙌

Nydia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nydia and I'm a graduated Senior looking for full or part-time nannying! I'm a caring, energetic, and creative person who genuinely loves working with kids. Growing up with six siblings taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and being someone younger kids can look up to. As one of the older siblings of 7, I helped raised and care for three of them, which gave me experience with children long before I started working in childcare professionally. For the past two years, I've worked as a Child Care Assistant (CCA) with Adventures Plus (A+) in the Anoka Hennepin School District. I've worked with children ages 5-12, from kindergarten through sixth grade, in both the school year and summer programs. My experience has taught me how to create a fun and safe environment while also understanding that every child has their own personality, needs, and way of learning. I would describe myself as outgoing, funny, patient, understanding, kind, and dependable. I love getting to know kids and finding activities that match their interests and personalities. I'm also very creative and artistic, so I enjoy doing crafts, making things, and playing games. I'm a good listener and always willing to learn, grow, and take feedback so I can be the best caregiver I can be. Outside of childcare, I love school and learning, reading, swimming, working out, animals, fashion, cooking, and baking. I'm always happy to turn those interests into activities with kids as it makes it more enjoyable sharing a hobby with the kids! Most importantly, I want the children I care for to feel comfortable, respected, supported, and able to be themselves. I'm excited to build a genuine relationship with the families I work with and be someone they can trust!

ken $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Ken. I am originally from Kenya but have lived in Minnesota for 25 years. I have a degree in Chemistry from Mississippi State University. I worked in my field for 16 years and decided to do something different. I am looking to branch out and I believe my laid back and open personality make me easy to get along with. I love goofy comedies and horror movies, I never get tired of watching the " naked gun" franchise. I do not have alot of experience but I believe my laid back persona and positive energy will go a long way :-). I look forward to meeting your amazing family

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
