Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Lily! I go to Wellesley College and am on the tennis team. I'm from Minneapolis, MN and home for the summer (looking for work)! I have a lot of experience with childcare and tutoring. I have been babysitting for 5 years and have been online tutoring kids for a year. I also had the honor of going to Guatemala to tutor kids English in 2022. I am outgoing, hardworking, responsible, and fun. I love being around kids: I love thinking on my feet and coming up with engaging activities. I also am experienced in taking care of dogs as I have raised puppies and dogs growing up.

Keara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! My name is Keara. I have worked with kids for 15+ years, 10 of which was full time work (a mixture of preschool teaching and nannying). I have an AA in Early Childhood Education and a BA in English. I currently work at the University of Minnesota in the Department of Surgery as a Project Specialist, but I really miss working with kids, so I thought I would join Urban Sitter in hopes of finding regular babysitting jobs. If you are looking for an energetic, encouraging, goofy, and creative babysitter, please reach out! I would love to get to know you, and see if we would be a great fit.

Londyn $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Londyn and I am 18 years old. I am currently looking for a part-time nanny position because I love working with children and I am passionate about providing quality care. I have extensive experience in childcare, over 3 years of professional experience and over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages, ranging from 2 months to 16 years old. I am also certified in CPR, first aid, SIDS, food safety, WSI, and fire safety, so you can rest assured that your child will be safe and secure in my care. I am open to light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, running errands, and more! I am located in the Eden Prairie area, but I am willing to commute up to 25+ miles for the right family. My rate is $20+ per hour, reflecting my qualifications, experience, and skills. I would love to meet some new families and help provide the care and support that your child needs. Please feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in my services.

Brianna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families, I may be new to this app, but I am definitely not new to child care! I got my first job at a child care center in Rosemount when I was 16 years old working in the infant room. I worked there for a year and a half, then spent a year in the toddler room (changing more diapers than I could possibly count). I continued to work there while I was in college, and became the “lead teacher” of the preschool room! During this time I spent two summers nannying for a family that had two identical twin four year old boys, and an 8 year old girl two-three days a week. I also had countless babysitting jobs on the weekends! I eventually had to leave my kids at that day care when I was 20 years old because I got a job at the university of Minnesota’s Child Development Center working with the 4 and 5 year olds. I also was involved in a research project called Chicago Longitudinal Study promoting early education for low income neighborhoods around this same time. I graduated with a Developmental Psychology degree (also knows as Child Psychology) and began my Masters program in Clinical Social Work with a speciality in family and children. I now work at a elementary school in Hennepin county as the school therapist for the children! I’m looking to use my experience to make some extra money to pay off some of the student debt. I’ve always loved working with kids, and I have the experience and education to back it up! I have experience with all ages, and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have! I’m willing to negotiate on pricing depending on the situation.
