Paige $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Paige and no matter what your families needs are, not only will I do my best to fulfill them but I also will try and go above and beyond to exceed those and make sure your family is always taken care of in any way I’m able to provide support. I have for the last two years been nannying for a family who has a teenager with AuSD, and have loved every minute of it. I still am currently working with them and plan to continue, although now that school is in session I’m only working the afternoons (Monday through Thursday) into the evenings until summer schedule resumes. Prior to working with my current family I actually was working with a client for a year who had cerebral palsy and was with him for a year. Even though the last handful of years has been with a little bit of an older clientele, I have about 11 years or so of experience with all range of age kiddos from about 3/ 4 months through the older teens and even early adulthood. A little bit about me, I love anything having to do with music and anything creative really. I absolutely love animals (sometimes more than people 🤪) and I often am spending my time painting, exploring and doing amateur photography, cooking, or hanging out with my 3 legged rescue dog. Would love to connect and see if I may be a good fit for your family and if we all get along, I’m just happy to help along the way. Wishing you all the best of luck on your respective searches for your families and I look forward to hearing from you all!

JoAnna $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Jo! I’ve been working in the early childhood education field for almost a dozen years now. My experience includes working in childcare centers, teaching preschoolers, providing direct support to children with disabilities, and nannying. I have extra experience with newborns, infants, toddlers and multiples. I am just finishing up my associates degree in Early Childhood Education and Child Development. I am also trained as a postpartum doula and a newborn care specialist. The ages between 0-3 are what I’m most passionate about but I do love taking babysitting jobs for all ages. This work is my favorite thing in the whole world and I would be glad to learn more about your family and if I might be a good fit. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions! I have a list of references of parents I’ve worked with in the past who would love to talk with you if you’re interested. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, I hope to hear from you soon!

Katelyn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am currently a reserve teacher and finishing up my Masters in School Counseling. I have my teaching license and am also CPR certified. I worked as outdoor educator last summer which entailed teaching kiddos how to paddle board, kayak, ride a bike and so many more things! It was truly such a rewarding job but I do have a love for nannying and building that rapport/memories with children! I was a full time substitute teacher in my undergrad program and also babysat quite often on the weekends. I have worked with children and babysat for the majority of my life and am eager to continue doing so!

Mazy $18 per hour for 1 child

I have been a music teacher for all ages starting as young as 4, and have worked in childcare with an elementary school in Minneapolis ages 5-11. I've run activities and supervised playground time for groups ranging from 10-20 kids typically. I've also hosted and participated in intergenerational events for families. I'm playful and active and not afraid to have fun with the kids. I'm a decent self-taught cook with a range of cuisines, and informed on different dietary needs.

"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)."
