Hey, my name is Ketty. I am a nursing student currently working as a CNA . I occasionally babysit for families. I enjoy doing crafts, listening to music and exploring places around me.

Booked by 1 family in Ham Lake, MN

Hi! I’m Salma, a caring and responsible babysitter with experience caring for children ranging from newborns to 12 years old. I’ve worked with families through babysitting and childcare, and I really enjoy creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for kids. I also studied Education at Texas A&M University. I’m comfortable caring for children at different ages and stages, including helping with routines, preparing simple meals, keeping kids entertained, helping with homework, and making sure they feel cared for and listened to. I’m patient, dependable, and understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they trust. I’m currently in Minnesota and looking to connect with families who need a reliable babysitter for date nights, regular childcare, or occasional help. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help make your day a little easier!

Melky $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melky, and I recently graduated from Augsburg University. I’m offering child care services and love working with kids of all ages! I’ve been caring for children since I was 10 years old, starting with my own siblings, and have since babysat newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children (including twins!). My experience includes tutoring, doing crafts, helping with homework, and keeping kids active and engaged in fun, safe ways. I’m responsible, patient, and always aim to create a positive and supportive environment for the children I care for. Please note — I’m only available for child care (no senior care), and I unfortunately can’t work in homes with pets due to allergies. I look forward to meeting your family!

Emma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma, and I’m a dependable, caring, and energetic caregiver with over seven years of babysitting experience and two years of nannying. I’m currently a freshman at St. Scholastica majoring in nursing, which reflects my passion for helping others and creating a safe, supportive environment for children. I have experience working with children of all ages, from as young as 3 months old up to 12 years old, and I’m comfortable caring for up to four kids at once. I also have worked in an afterschool daycare setting, where I supported children with activities, routines, and creating a fun, structured environment. I love engaging kids in age-appropriate activities like crafts, outdoor play, reading, and imaginative games. I also have experience providing homework help and enjoy helping kids learn and grow. In addition to childcare, I offer pet care, house cleaning, organizing, laundry, and running errands. I’m very comfortable with all types of animals, from farm animals to cats and dogs, and I especially enjoy walking and caring for pets, even those that shed or need extra attention. Families would describe me as responsible, patient, organized, and positive. I take pride in being someone parents can trust and kids feel safe and comfortable with! Im also happy to provide references!

"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)."
