TaNiya $17 per hour for 1 child

I am a 22 year old who recently moved to MN from Alabama. I have always had a passion for working with children. I’ve always been trusted to babysit for any family I know, as well as for my own family. I taught Pre-K last year, and for two years before that I worked with teenagers that struggle with behavioral and developmental challenges. I am CPR certified, as well as trained in professional crisis management. I am well trained to deal with anything that should come my way while babysitting. I have a very kind and warm spirit that most children I’ve worked with tend to get attached to and would love to help out in any way I can.

"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)."
