Shynece $19 per hour for 1 child

As a caregiver, the most important part of the job is understanding the family first. Building a strong connection and clear communication with both the parents and children helps create a safe, trusting, and supportive environment. I value open communication everyone should feel heard and understood. I come from a large family and have always been surrounded by children of all ages, from infants just a few months old to cousins in their 30s. This has given me a natural comfort and experience with babies, toddlers, and older children. I'm someone who is not afraid to take initiative or face challenges head-on. I love bringing joy, structure, and care into a child’s day, and I strive to be both helpful and dependable for the family I work with.

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.

Booked by 2 families in Minneapolis, MN

I grew up in Minneapolis, MN, one of the eldest among my 9 siblings. It meant a lot of responsibilities early on. After graduating from Washburn, I continued my studies at MCTC, focusing on social work and psychology. I now go to the U Of M to finish my studies . I'm passionate about working with kids and strongly believe in starting mental health awareness early. Also CPR trained!

Sayma was fantastic with my two girls. She went above & beyond by taking them swimming at the pool with another family who live in the same apartment building. Then, she gave both girls baths right after. Great work - very professional. Josh

I’m an educated and down to earth provider . I’m fun, organized, punctual and caring. I have excellent cooking and cleaning skills that I can contribute to your life. I follow Covid recommendation by wearing masks, washing hands and staying home if feeling ill.

Thank you so much. It was a pleasure working with you. Kay was very open and understanding. Kay was responsible. I was able to stay in contact and follow up regarding my child. My child loved that fact she gets to play and be around other kids. We will definitely be booking with her again.

"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)."
