Zoë $20 per hour for 1 child

I have always enjoyed spending time with kids, I did a lot of babysitting for family friends growing up and have now been working in a daycare for a little over a year. I’m certified in CPR and first aid, and have my drivers license and a car. I love seeing kids use their imagination and my favorite part of working with them is watching them develop their own personalities. I am located in Woodbury but am willing to commute 20 ish minutes if possible :) I would be looking for full time employment, starting mid September. I’m currently in the process of obtaining my phlebotomy certification, so it would hopefully be a shorter term job as I want to find work in the medical field at some point. I’m open to discussion on scheduling, please feel free to contact me to talk further!!

Hi! My name is Alaina , and I’m an 18-year-old senior at Eagan High School. I offer reliable and caring childcare along with light household help for families who need an extra hand.

Torkwase $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Torkwase! I’m a mother of two adult children and a caregiver with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. My background includes CNA, medical assistant, home health, and direct support work. I’m also CPR, First Aid, and BLS certified, and a college student working toward becoming a nurse. I bring patience, compassion, and a nurturing personality to the families I work with. I want people to feel comfortable with me and know that their loved ones are being treated with care and respect. I take time to learn each person’s needs, routines, and personality because everyone deserves care that fits them. My experience includes caring for children, including children with special needs, and supporting people with autism and other disabilities. As a mother and caregiver, I understand how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. I’ve worked with seniors in their homes, assisted living, memory care, and hospice. I’m experienced with personal care, companionship, mobility assistance, meal preparation, and medication support within my assigned responsibilities. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, laundry, dishes, organizing, and everyday household tasks. Once I learn your home and how you like things done, I pay attention and take initiative without needing a reminder for every little thing. I don’t wear perfume or added fragrances. My goal is to bring dependable support, a caring presence, and a little more ease to your day.

"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."

"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)."
