Rose $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Minneapolis, MN

Hello families! I am currently a part time student at Normandale Community College, working on a Biology degree! During my free time I enjoy hiking, listening to music, making art, and hanging out with family. I have been my family's babysitter since I was 15 and have two years professional experience in a childcare center. I babysat children from varying ages as young as 6 months to 8 years old. At the childcare center, I worked primarily in the young toddler room (16-22 months) which is also my favorite age group. I enjoy watching children explore their environment and grow through play! I love to make learning fun by singing songs, reading books, and tons of pretend play. I am offering child care services as well as helping out with house chores. These tasks could include laundry, making meals, housekeeping, and errands. I am a licensed driver with a reliable insured vehicle so I am able to transport children from activities or events. If you have any questions about my experience or would like to inquire about my services, please reach out!

Ashley $24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Minneapolis, MN

I've grown up with children my entire life. I started babysitting through family then word of mouth traveled and I have been in a various MN babysitting companies. My experience is close knit, hands on, rooted in peace and genuine care. I have worked as a Direct Support Professional for varying ages (youngest 6, oldest 77) and needs. Through my work, I've been 250D certified, knowledgeable on MN Human Service laws, and worked with special needs clients. My performance includes providing attentive care, assisting with daily routines, and creating a positive environment where children can learn, play, and relax. I’m patient, observant, and calm under pressure, which helps me respond thoughtfully to each child’s needs. I understand the importance of structure, clear communication, and consistency, while also making sure kids feel heard and valued.

Jené $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jené and I have 10+ years working with children and the elderly. I began working at a direct support specialist with individuals with disabilities. Once I obtain my Bachelors concentrating on Special Education I began teaching. I wanted a more one-on-one approach to education so I began providing ABA therapy and respite for military families. I love kiddos and finding ways to engage their minds from building blocks to scientific experiments. Or we can just run around and be silly!! I also have worked with the elderly in various capacities. Providing them with transportation to appointments, organizing a room or sorting bills as Papa pal to spiritual care as a Hospice Chaplain. I love people and enjoy helping people laugh and be their best self!

"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."

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)."
