Liza $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in customer service and leadership, along with hands-on experience in both childcare and pet care. During college, I nannied for three years, caring for two children aged 2 and 4. That role taught me how to balance structure, creativity, and patience while supporting early childhood development. I also coached gymnastics for kids ages 3 to 16, which strengthened my ability to connect with children, manage groups, and keep things fun while ensuring safety. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and naturally attentive—skills that carry over from my work in fast-paced, people-focused environments. I love creating a safe, engaging space for kids and pets alike, and I bring a strong sense of responsibility, warmth, and adaptability to every caregiving role.

Shannon $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shannon! I have experience working with elementary-aged children and teenagers. I used to work as an art teacher for elementary students, so if your little one loves coloring or crafts, that’s awesome to hear! As a babysitter, I try to encourage screen-free activities like going outside, baking, coloring, playing games, reading, and such. I follow the book Parenting with Love and Logic, even though I do not have children of my own. I do not have a car, but I can help at the house or wherever you need me. Before any babysitting, I would appreciate the chance to meet you and your child/children to chat and determine whether this partnership is a good fit. I’m also a qualified pet sitter. I love to care for cats, rabbits, and dogs.

Nhi $30 per hour for 1 child

My background includes being an active tutor for students ages 4-14. I was highly involved in helping take care of my little brother when he was an infant until about 12 years old so I’ve developed child care skills in those ages. I’ve also subbed at schools working with preschoolers, kindergartners, and first graders. I have experience in nannying before as well. My personality traits include being patient, fun, calm & playful. These are the talents that make me an amazing caregiver!

Liliyanna $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Liliyanna I’m offering services in children care and pet care, ranging from all ages. I grew up with many siblings ( a total of 10) so taking care of the younger ones comes natural. I also am an animal lover as I have both a cat and a dog. I’m currently a student at the University of Minnesota and work in retail. In previous years I’ve been apart of AVID tutoring for high schoolers, transitional helper for younger classmen, and volunteering at elementary schools.

Allie $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been nannying for the last 4 summers, and babysitting since I was around 12! I absolutely love kids and I have always loved the infant stage as well. I enjoy taking the kids to do fun activities, play outside, do crafts and keep them busy! Some of my favorite things that I have done with my past nanny family is indoor spa days with the girls when we can’t play outside, or fort building contests with the boys! I will also always make sure the area we play in will get picked up after we are done. I currently a freshman in college and looking for a part time job. I have fairly flexible hours and would love to work with you!

"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)."
