My name is Daisy. I’m 18. I graduated high school. I am first aid certified and I’ve been taking care of kids since I was a kid. I’ve be babysitting/nannying professionally for 3 years. I love children, they bring a joy and a smile that normal people can’t bring. I’m experienced in cooking. I’ve work with families of 3 and less from ages 0-12.

“Very good at communicating and responding quickly. She was also very patient and kind. My daughters were instantly comfortable and loved spending time with her!”

As a caregiver, the most important part of the job is understanding the family first. Building a strong connection and clear communication with both the parents and children helps create a safe, trusting, and supportive environment. I value open communication everyone should feel heard and understood. I come from a large family and have always been surrounded by children of all ages, from infants just a few months old to cousins in their 30s. This has given me a natural comfort and experience with babies, toddlers, and older children. I'm someone who is not afraid to take initiative or face challenges head-on. I love bringing joy, structure, and care into a child’s day, and I strive to be both helpful and dependable for the family I work with.

Hi, my name is Riya I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, currently I work as the Local Childcare Coordinator for GreatAuPairUSA. I've gained organizing skills, cleaning, cooking, etc. I love arts & crafts, making yummy dishes like homemade mac and cheese to my homemade chocolate chip cookies. I also love animals like dogs and cats; I grew up with both but also don't mind pet snakes and other little creatures! I myself have niece's and a nephew as well as gained a daughter from the loss of a friend unfortunately, but I treat her as if she was my own blood. I am adopted and understand what it's like to feel so different from the rest, and having a brother and father with disabilities, has truly taught me how kindness and patience help those around you succeed. My passion is childcare, I believe in creating a warm, fun, inviting atmosphere allows children to feel comfortable enough to grown, learn and have fun all together. I started working with children in high school, and over the last 10 years have moved up from babysitting, nannying to taking over a preschool program at the Minneapolis Park and Recreation board, to after school program for years then becoming the activities assistant for a Montessori while assisting the assistant director. I'd help with the environment of the school building and managing staff and helping with each room between infants - preschool age. But I have experience with all ages up to highschoolers.

“We've had Riya over twice now to watch our cats while we are gone and she's great!”

Hello! I’m glad you found my page! I am an experienced and attentive caregiver with over 15 years of babysitting experience including full-time nannying for six years, ELS teaching assistant for a semester and 4 years as a water safety instructor for children ages 6 months- 15 years old. I have experience caring full time while parents go on vacation, doing school pickup/drop offs or overnights. I majored in Psychology in college and took classes on childhood development. I have a complex understanding of meeting children where they are at and allowing them autonomy in discovering the world (safety always being the first priority). I am a present, engaging and active caregiver with lots of experience taking toddlers out for different activities around the city including the Como Zoo, MIA, Walker Art Center, MOA, the wilderness center, library story times, plays, children’s yoga, swimming, etc! I am a crafty person and I like to engage in different arts and crafts projects as well with the kiddos. A socialization and learning experience in one is my goal! I love cooking, trying out new recipes and having dinner parties truly sparks joy for me! One of my favorite aspects of Minneapolis summer is biking all around town and spending evenings on the beach or taking a kayak out on the lakes. As a lifeguard for 6 years I love the water and swimming whenever I get the chance. I regularly practice yoga. I’m an animal lover and often pet sit or volunteer at the humane society too! I’m happy to watch any furry friends!

“Lauren brought calm and light into our house! She had a great time with our toddler. Was also one of the rare instances with a babysitter where she cleaned up some of Dahlias dishes in the sink. That is honestly doesn’t happen often with other caregivers very appreciated. Will happily book her again.”

Hi, I’m Maddie! I grew up in a big family and naturally became the built in babysitter for my younger siblings and cousins. I have experience with all ages (infants-13 years). I worked in a school district for 4 of my summers during high school. I also worked in a daycare for 1 year while a freshman in college before I became a part-time nanny for two wonderful kids for the rest of my college career. Currently I nanny 2 wonderful kids ages 2 and 3 in the Minneapolis area. I love all pets and can assist with walking, feeding, playing and exercising.

“We’re so grateful to have found Maddie! She is wonderful! She is professional, attentive, and clearly great with kids. Our son had such a fun time with her that he didn’t want her to leave and is already asking when she’ll come back. She even took the time to tidy up his toys and play area, which we really appreciated. We’d absolutely recommend Maddie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

"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."

"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)."
