Ascher $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Ascher 👋 I’ve loved caring for kids for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I split my time between Germany and the U.S., spending many holidays and family gatherings caring for my older cousins’ kids. That passion for caregiving has never left me — from babysitting as a teen, to working with infants and toddlers, to leading after-school and camp programs. I also have personal experience with neonatal infants, as my own daughter was a neonatal baby, giving me a deeper understanding of caring for newborns with specialized needs. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. My background includes: • Former 4H camp counselor in Stearns County • Gym coordinator for the Kid Stop after-school program at ROCORI Middle School • Current FIRST Robotics programming mentor for teens in Minneapolis I’m CPR, First Aid, and trauma-informed care certified, and currently taking a Red Cross refresher to stay up to date. Growing up in Germany and traveling back and forth to the U.S. shaped my belief that affordable childcare should be accessible to all families, and my rates reflect those values. I love keeping kids engaged through: 🎨 Arts & crafts | 📚 Reading | 🎲 Games | 🌳 Outdoor fun | 🏀 Sports | 🎵 Music & dance | 🧩 STEM building | 👩‍🍳 Cooking | 🧸 Imaginative play | 🔬 Simple science activities I’d love to support your family and help make your child’s day a little brighter!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Minneapolis, 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.

$17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Minneapolis, MN

Hello, my name is Kaleah. I currently work as a counselor! I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Family Services. I am offering childcare services. Since I was 14 years old, I began working with children. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and older children. I absolutely love working with children of all ages! Throughout my experience, I have babysat, worked at childcare centers, and worked in school childcare. I enjoy doing crafts, spending time outside, playing games, and having fun with the kids! I can help with homework and can provide transportation to/from school or extracurricular activities. I also love cats and dogs! I am able to provide care for them as well. Thank you!

Kaleah is such a gem💎! She was warm, friendly, very engaged, and on time. Our son had an absolute blast with her, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy in her care. We can’t wait to have her back. Highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, dependable, and attentive babysitter! ⭐️

"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)."
