Catheryn $17 per hour for 1 child

I am a 27-year-old originally from California. In March of this year, I moved to Minnesota and currently reside in Saint Paul with my mother and brother. Teaching and caring for children has always been one of my greatest passions. I bring 6 years of professional childcare experience, in addition to numerous babysitting roles during my teenage years. I have worked as a dedicated nanny for three amazing children, aged three and six, for nearly three years. Prior to this, I served as the Lead Teacher and Infant Nurse Supervisor at Westminster KinderCare Learning Center, where I spent three fulfilling years. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children across various age groups, with particular expertise in working with infants and toddlers. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my skills and experience to your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can meet your childcare needs.

Trakia $18 per hour for 1 child

Having grown up with twelve siblings, I’ve developed a strong sense of teamwork and responsibility. Working closely with older aunts and grandmothers, I’ve taken on various household duties like cleaning, stocking, and caring for younger children. My experiences have also taught me the importance of punctuality and time management. Beyond family life, I’m passionate about activities like soccer, basketball, and math, which have further honed my teamwork and analytical skills.

"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)."
