Destiny $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am so happy to be here and to get the chance to meet you and your family. I moved to Minnesota about two years ago and I have loved every second of it. I am currently taking classes for nursing at the U of MN! I maintain a 4.0 GPA by being organized, punctual, and curious. Those are some of the top characteristics of who I am that I bring with me into every situation. I have a little experience working in a daycare center where I designed learning plans that were filled with learning and fun. I have my CNA license and I am CPR/BLS certified. I can offer your children an environment of understanding, fun, curiosity, and love. I also grew up on a farm. So, I have a lot of experience working with animals and can watch over any animals as well. I have set my prices lower than standard, because I am a mom of two and know how hard it is to find affordable care. I hope to meet you and your family soon!

Brenda $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a caregiver at heart and have been in the field for 6 years. I come from a long line of medically inclined family members from CNA to nurse anesthetist. I have many more years of caregiving on a person level due to caring for terminally I'll family. Growing up I was always called a little mother hen because I love kids especially babies & always have since I was a little girl.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Cottage Grove, MN

I’m from Colombia and I have lived in the USA for a year while working as an aupair. During my first 6 months in the country I was taking care of 3 girls and a little newborn, and during my last 6 months I was working for 2 girls. I’m an electromechanical tech and while I was in college I used to work as a babysitter in my spare time or as an academic tutor. I am a good driver, a good swimmer, and am trained in infant CPR.

Daniela did a fantastic job with our two littles. She was prompt and professional. She painted with them, played hide & seek and got them to bed. Such a huge help on short notice!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
