Liliyanna $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Liliyanna I’m offering services in children care and pet care, ranging from all ages. I grew up with many siblings ( a total of 10) so taking care of the younger ones comes natural. I also am an animal lover as I have both a cat and a dog. I’m currently a student at the University of Minnesota and work in retail. In previous years I’ve been apart of AVID tutoring for high schoolers, transitional helper for younger classmen, and volunteering at elementary schools.

Nydia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nydia and I'm a graduated Senior looking for full or part-time nannying! I'm a caring, energetic, and creative person who genuinely loves working with kids. Growing up with six siblings taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and being someone younger kids can look up to. As one of the older siblings of 7, I helped raised and care for three of them, which gave me experience with children long before I started working in childcare professionally. For the past two years, I've worked as a Child Care Assistant (CCA) with Adventures Plus (A+) in the Anoka Hennepin School District. I've worked with children ages 5-12, from kindergarten through sixth grade, in both the school year and summer programs. My experience has taught me how to create a fun and safe environment while also understanding that every child has their own personality, needs, and way of learning. I would describe myself as outgoing, funny, patient, understanding, kind, and dependable. I love getting to know kids and finding activities that match their interests and personalities. I'm also very creative and artistic, so I enjoy doing crafts, making things, and playing games. I'm a good listener and always willing to learn, grow, and take feedback so I can be the best caregiver I can be. Outside of childcare, I love school and learning, reading, swimming, working out, animals, fashion, cooking, and baking. I'm always happy to turn those interests into activities with kids as it makes it more enjoyable sharing a hobby with the kids! Most importantly, I want the children I care for to feel comfortable, respected, supported, and able to be themselves. I'm excited to build a genuine relationship with the families I work with and be someone they can trust!

Allie $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been nannying for the last 4 summers, and babysitting since I was around 12! I absolutely love kids and I have always loved the infant stage as well. I enjoy taking the kids to do fun activities, play outside, do crafts and keep them busy! Some of my favorite things that I have done with my past nanny family is indoor spa days with the girls when we can’t play outside, or fort building contests with the boys! I will also always make sure the area we play in will get picked up after we are done. I currently a freshman in college and looking for a part time job. I have fairly flexible hours and would love to work with you!

Liam $22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Liam , I’m 20 turning 21 this year I got to university of st Thomas in St. Paul and I live in Eagan when I’m not in St Paul. I have a ton of nannying and babysitting experience since I’ve done it all my life for family friends cousins siblings etc. I have some military experience being in the AFROTC program so I’m pretty good with time management and problem solving. I have a lot of experience in hospitality where I took a course for two years in highschool and learnt the ins and outs of hospitality. Overall I’m very friendly, don’t mind overnights being a practice partner for instruments (I’m classically trained with 15 years of experience) and I’d love to be a help. I’m paying for college by myself so this is a way I can help myself earn money and help the community

"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)."
