As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of young minds. With nine years of experience in child care, I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. I am a patient and calm individual with a creative and imaginative approach to learning. My friendly and approachable nature allows me to build strong relationships with children and their families. When it comes to communicating with parents, I follow their preferred method to ensure open and effective communication about their child’s day and any issues that may arise. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules to provide a structured and consistent environment for children. My educational background includes coursework in early childhood development, which enhances my ability to provide age appropriate activities and experiences for children. I am comfortable caring for children of various age groups from infants to preschoolers. I am a mother of 4 children.
“Syeda was very responsive to messages, and helped our family with a last minute daycare cancelation. She was very sweet with our 9 month old daughter, and entertained her for a couple of hours. Would recommend her to other families in the Twin Cities!”
I am a substitute elementary teacher with West St Paul/Mendota Public Schools. I'm licensed to teach K-6th grade, but often work with younger children also. I have worked as a teacher for over ten years. Kindergarten is my favorite, but I think there is something great about kids of every age. I would be very open helping school-aged children with their homework or doing supplemental educational work with the kids. I can also hang out and have fun -- either inside or out. Whatever works best for you! I love cats and wouldn't mind a house with them. I am okay with dogs as well, to a lesser extent. I have my own transportation and am willing to drive the kiddos to appointments, sports, playdates, etc. I don't mind light housekeeping/cooking, especially for the kids. Please let me know if you are interested or have any questions. Thanks! Jane
Hello! My name is Ashley :) I am fully vaccinated - meaning I have received my COVID-19 vaccinations, boosters, and flu shot. I have a BA in Psychology and a minor in Counseling from San Francisco State University. I have a Masters in Social Welfare from University of California, Berkeley and am currently working towards my therapy license. I am certified in adult/child/infant first-aid, CPR, and AED use. I have the most experience with newborn-elementary age children. My previous work has included teaching social skills, coping/calming strategies, problem solving skills, and providing homework/behavioral assistance and enriching activities. **I can cook, love to clean/organize, and I am very responsible and respectful.
I've been working with children for the last fifteen years! I started at Kumon Math and Reading before becoming a nanny for two families in Minnesota. I graduated from Northwestern in 2020 with degrees in Theatre, Marketing, and Film. Upon moving to LA, I became a full time nanny responsible for Zoom preschool and kindergarten. Although I've transitioned into working marketing back in the Twin Cities, I still love helping out as a date night sitter or part-time nanny.
“She's great! From the moment she walked in she got down to our toddlers level and started playing with her. She's super attentive and amazing at communication. We'd definitely recommend her as we plan to bring her back for our next date night! :)”
Hello! My name is Brigid and I have been working with Kids for over 5 years! I have my Bachelor’s of Science in Education and two teaching licenses in Prek- 12th grade education! I am a full time preschool teacher but am always looking for some part time/occasional nannying or babysitting. I have over 5 years of experience with children as young as newborns to early high-school! Kids are my life and bring me so much joy. I have two younger siblings, (shown in my profile picture) 8 and 10, one with autism, that I have taken care of since they were born. Due to a difficult parental situation, I had lots of experience early on for caring for them as infants and toddlers, and let that carry me into working professionally with children since I was 15. I have great child care references I can provide and many past nanny/sitter familes I am still on great terms with and even visit for fun when I am back in my hometown! I am interested in all types of jobs, so feel free to reach out about anything! I make it a priority to make any space a child spends with me a safe one, and I encourage families of any and all backgrounds to not be shy to reach out, as I have grown up with a very mixed one myself:) Thank you for your consideration of me.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
