asha $18 per hour for 1 child

I’ve always loved kids, especially babies. They’re just so cute and innocent and I love watching them grow up. It makes me feel like I’m getting ready for motherhood. I’m good when it comes to tantrums, anxiety and etc.. I’m good at finding fun things to do. I’m good at matching energy no matter what kid it is. No job is too big for me. Disabled, abled, energetic, calm you name it I can do it hire me for a little extra pocket of sunshine in your house.

Kingsley $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kingsley and I'm a current senior at Macalester College. I have extensive experience working with school-aged children from a wide variety of backgrounds, having been a sailing instructor working individually with special needs children for four years. Drawing on this experience, I tend towards keeping kids active and engaged with outdoor play, but I also love staying indoors with a board game--my most recent obsession is chess! I also have experience pet sitting dogs and small animals. Just no cats please! I'm very allergic, sadly.

Chris $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thank you for clicking on my profile. I imagine you’re wondering if I would be a good fit to provide care for your child(ren). I too am wondering. My mom is an elementary school librarian—I would say I got my affinity for working with kids from her. I just moved here from Alaska in February and have 15+ years experience working with toddlers, pre-schoolers and early elementary aged kiddos. I discovered I have a knack for working with preschoolers. I'm really good at it. I've worked with kids in a variety of roles: proving 1:1 support for neurodivergent kiddos and general support for children in a child development center setting, drop-in care for conferences and other events but a majority of my experience has been babysitting and nannying in family’s homes. I value hands-on active child-directed engagement. This means I'm interacting with children at their level, doing what they want to do--within limits of course. This engagement may look like: building tape mazes or obstacle courses, blanket forts or cardboard houses, drawing (kids have reignited my love of drawing), reading stories (my favorite activity by far), building hot wheels tracks or going to the playground! I like being outside and would much rather go play at a park — especially in Minneapolis when the winter weather means we spend so much of winter indoors. I am a Minnesota state licensed PCA and have worked with neurodivergent kiddos including ADD/ADHD, ASD, AuHD, sensory processing disorder and reactive attachment disorder. I am certainly not an expert however am empathetic and take time to know your child as an individual in order to provide the best care for them. Safety note: I have my own transportation, clean driving record, background check, am 110% okay with cameras and value communication about the day’s activities so that parents know what their children are doing. Please reach out if you think we’d be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you. -Chris

"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)."
