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.

“We've had Riya over twice now to watch our cats while we are gone and she's great!”

Booked by 2 families in Minneapolis, MN

Hi! I’m Sayma. I grew up in Minneapolis and am one of the oldest of 9 siblings, so caring for others has always been a big part of my life. I’m currently finishing my studies at the University of Minnesota, focusing on psychology. Outside of Urbansitter, I work as an IHS (Individualized Home Supports) worker, where I support individuals with their daily needs and help them become more independent. I’m looking for part-time and occasional jobs that work around my school and work schedule. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and families, and I’m dependable, patient, caring, and comfortable helping with everyday routines. I’m also CPR trained and can provide pet care, senior care, and household help when needed.

“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”

Maria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maria and I am 23 years old. I just graduated college from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Communications! In my free time I enjoy hanging out with friends, traveling, playing volleyball and meeting new people. I have 3-5 years of babysitting experience for family and friends with kids ages 1-10. I have 2 years of nannying experience with kids ages 5-14. I enjoy working most with kids who are above the age of 3 but have experience with toddlers as well! I am CPR certified and have a reliable vehicle that can hold up to 5 people. I enjoy playing with kids, taking them to do fun activities, helping them with different development skills, watching them grow, playing games and sports with them. I am more than willing to bring children to and from sports camps or summer camps. Dogs are the pet I’m most comfortable with, maximum of 2 in a single household. I am allergic to cats. I am willing to perform other household tasks such as dishes, laundry, cleaning if need be. My rates will reflect those additional tasks on top of the childcare. I am looking for a friendly family who is looking for care for the summer as I am moving out of the country in the fall. I am patient, friendly, caring, supportive and will put your children’s safety as my top priority. I am very social and have an outgoing personality. I enjoy getting to see kids grow and enjoy different activities.

"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)."
