Xavier $18 per hour for 1 child

I have been taking care of my cousins as long as I can remember. A few years ago I started getting paid to do it. I then realized that is something I can do for extra money. I am a college student just looking for some extra cash to have and make college bills easier.

Lynn $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lynn, I am 33 years old and have live in Minneapolis for 9 years. I have babysat since I was about 16 years old in between going to school and my other jobs. I am currently an Art Buddy at Lucy Craft Laney Elementary School, mentoring students ages 7-10. My experience as a volunteer has inspired me to further my education. I am currently applying to grad school to earn my Masters in elementary education. My previous career experience is in luxury retail management teaching and developing a diverse, and very talented sales team. I love all animals! I do not currently have any animals of my own, but I frequently help my housemate with caring for her two dogs (a Rottweiler/pitty and pitty/lab). I grew up with cats. I also have experience caring for sick animals who required more attentive care and medication. I am organized and a responsible driver, I have never had a ticket [knocks on wood]. When I am not working I enjoy biking through the cities, writing poetry, drawing, cooking, and making pottery.

Ascher $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Ascher 👋 I’ve loved caring for kids for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I split my time between Germany and the U.S., spending many holidays and family gatherings caring for my older cousins’ kids. That passion for caregiving has never left me — from babysitting as a teen, to working with infants and toddlers, to leading after-school and camp programs. I also have personal experience with neonatal infants, as my own daughter was a neonatal baby, giving me a deeper understanding of caring for newborns with specialized needs. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. My background includes: • Former 4H camp counselor in Stearns County • Gym coordinator for the Kid Stop after-school program at ROCORI Middle School • Current FIRST Robotics programming mentor for teens in Minneapolis I’m CPR, First Aid, and trauma-informed care certified, and currently taking a Red Cross refresher to stay up to date. Growing up in Germany and traveling back and forth to the U.S. shaped my belief that affordable childcare should be accessible to all families, and my rates reflect those values. I love keeping kids engaged through: 🎨 Arts & crafts | 📚 Reading | 🎲 Games | 🌳 Outdoor fun | 🏀 Sports | 🎵 Music & dance | 🧩 STEM building | 👩‍🍳 Cooking | 🧸 Imaginative play | 🔬 Simple science activities I’d love to support your family and help make your child’s day a little brighter!

"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)."
