Booked by 2 families in Crystal, MN

Hi, my name is Riya I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, currently I work as the Local Childcare Coordinator for GreatAuPairUSA. I've gained organizing skills, cleaning, cooking, etc. I love arts & crafts, making yummy dishes like homemade mac and cheese to my homemade chocolate chip cookies. I also love animals like dogs and cats; I grew up with both but also don't mind pet snakes and other little creatures! I myself have niece's and a nephew as well as gained a daughter from the loss of a friend unfortunately, but I treat her as if she was my own blood. I am adopted and understand what it's like to feel so different from the rest, and having a brother and father with disabilities, has truly taught me how kindness and patience help those around you succeed. My passion is childcare, I believe in creating a warm, fun, inviting atmosphere allows children to feel comfortable enough to grown, learn and have fun all together. I started working with children in high school, and over the last 10 years have moved up from babysitting, nannying to taking over a preschool program at the Minneapolis Park and Recreation board, to after school program for years then becoming the activities assistant for a Montessori while assisting the assistant director. I'd help with the environment of the school building and managing staff and helping with each room between infants - preschool age. But I have experience with all ages up to highschoolers.

“We've had Riya over twice now to watch our cats while we are gone and she's great!”

Hi! My name is Sydney. I recently moved back home to Minnesota after 5 years of exploring the Hawaiian islands while nannying full time. I have been nannying and babysitting for over 10 years and have a strong passion for teaching and caring for children. I was a daycare teacher for infants and toddlers up until my move to Hawaii, so I have a lot of experience caring for multiple children at once (as well as multitasking). I am a very reliable, trustworthy and organized person and I do not mind taking on other household tasks like cleaning, laundry, driving kids to activities or even errands. I have a sweet golden retriever mix and years of experience with caring for and fostering animals, so pets are not an issue at all for me. My favorite part of childcare is watching children grow and learn every single day. I still keep in touch with many of the families I have nannied for and getting updates from them always makes my day. Since I have worked with so many different families in the past 5 years I come with wonderful references that I would be happy to provide upon request. I am CPR and first aid certified and I have plenty of experience caring for all ages including infants, as well as children with special needs. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to answer any questions you may have for me.

“Sydney is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She has a great deal of experience and it shows. I trusted her with my infant for our first ever parents’ night out, and she made sure my little one was safe, happy, fed, and well-rested. I will be reaching out again! Thank you!”

Booked by 1 family in Crystal, MN

Hello! I am 27 years old, born and raised in Austin, TX. I have been a registered dental assistant for 9 years, I have my CPR/BLS certification for adults and children. When not working clinically I would work at Austin’s Dental Assistant school. I have been babysitting/a nanny occasionally since I was a teenager. I have worked at a church nursery for the past 4 years, my age group was 6m-3yrs. I genuinely love how children are unfiltered and curious, I enjoy teaching and encouraging them to pursue their current interests as well as activities that help them be active, present, and curious. As soon as I was 18 I attended trade school and got my license to work clinically. I spent my early twenties learning myself and traveling. Once I had a better understanding of myself/what seems to be my calling or purpose and what type of career would make me happy but also help me serve others I went to community college and got my pre requisites. At this point in my journey I have moved to Minneapolis to attend the University of Minnesota twin cities to finish my Bachelors degree in psychology. I will be living in the Elliot park neighborhood. In my free time I enjoy living an active lifestyle. Some of my favorite activities are weight training, biking, and snowboarding. I love to read, cook (mostly just the eating part of the process), travel, and spend time with loved ones. I appreciate and try my best to always enjoy the blessing of being able to continuously learn, especially from others and experiences that are unfamiliar to me. Being a full time in person student at a university will be a first for me, I’m not confident I will be able to work clinically as much as I am used to and thought that babysitting would be a great alternative source of income. Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me.

Booked by 2 families in Crystal, MN

Hi! I’m Sayma. I grew up in Minneapolis and am one of the oldest of 9 siblings, so caring for others has always been a big part of my life. I’m currently finishing my studies at the University of Minnesota, focusing on psychology. Outside of Urbansitter, I work as an IHS (Individualized Home Supports) worker, where I support individuals with their daily needs and help them become more independent. I’m looking for part-time and occasional jobs that work around my school and work schedule. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and families, and I’m dependable, patient, caring, and comfortable helping with everyday routines. I’m also CPR trained and can provide pet care, senior care, and household help when needed.

“Sayma was fantastic with my two girls. She went above & beyond by taking them swimming at the pool with another family who live in the same apartment building. Then, she gave both girls baths right after. Great work - very professional. Josh”

"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)."
