$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 16 families in Minneapolis, MN

As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of young minds. With nine years of experience in child care, I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. I am a patient and calm individual with a creative and imaginative approach to learning. My friendly and approachable nature allows me to build strong relationships with children and their families. When it comes to communicating with parents, I follow their preferred method to ensure open and effective communication about their child’s day and any issues that may arise. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules to provide a structured and consistent environment for children. My educational background includes coursework in early childhood development, which enhances my ability to provide age appropriate activities and experiences for children. I am comfortable caring for children of various age groups from infants to preschoolers. I am a mother of 4 children.

“Syeda was very responsive to messages, and helped our family with a last minute daycare cancelation. She was very sweet with our 9 month old daughter, and entertained her for a couple of hours. Would recommend her to other families in the Twin Cities!”

"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)."
