Booked by 1 family in Saint Paul, MN

Hello! I am a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and I am currently looking for babysitting work. I decided that babysitting suits me best, as I have experience caring for my two younger sisters (ages 7 and 9) and my three nieces (ages 2, 3, and 5). I am great with children, I can cook, clean, and safely transport kids to and from activities if needed. I have a lot of energy, so I am always engaged and ready to keep up, and I understand how to handle the emotional ups and downs that children go through. I would love the opportunity to care for your children and I am excited to meet your family!

Sophia was wonderful with our son! He had such a great time with her and can’t wait to see her again. She’s attentive, engaging, and clearly loves what she does. She also went above and beyond by cleaning and organizing some of his toys and play areas, which we truly appreciated. We highly recommend her and would gladly have her back anytime!

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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
