Booked by 12 families in Shakopee, MN

Hi, my name is Zoe! I have worked with kids in various settings over the past 12 years as a babysitter, nanny, tutor, and ski instructor. My previous work has been with a wide range of ages from newborns to teenagers. I have experience working with different dietary restrictions and food allergies. I am trained on how to use an epipen and have previously been CPR certified. Currently, I am a student at Concordia University in St. Paul studying Child Learning and Development. I enjoy crafts, the outdoors, reading, and staying active. One of my favorite parts of working with kids is engaging in imaginative play. I love helping kids explore their surroundings as well encouraging them to use their minds to solve problems and come up with new ideas. I place a high value on play and feel it is fundamental to the growth and development of children. Through play children gain new skills and understand the world better. As a caregiver it is an honor to be apart of children’s play experiences. I believe that it is important to guide children so they can develop critical thinking skills rather than giving them all the answers or simply doing it for them. My hope is to not only help children flourish but to see families thrive. Along with supporting children my goal is to support parents so that at the end of the day families can engage in meaningful play together. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

“Zoe was fantastic with our kids. She arrived on time and was thoughtful. We were able to enjoy the evening out without worries. Would absolutely recommend and have again! Thank you! ”

Hi, thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. I’m 41, I live is a happy home with my spouse and our 3 year old daughter and our dog (bestest boy ever). I have tons of experience ranging from nannying for multiple families. Including multiples and children with special needs. I also worked as a substitute teacher for a decade. I also spent 2 year in China teaching English. I went to St. Cloud State where I earned a B.A. in Anthropology and Ethnic studies. I also studied Communication Development and Disorders (Speech Pathology) for a year as a post- bachelor, which gave me a considerable background in child and language development. I love animals. I have excellent references and a lot to offer any family. If you are interested in setting up an interview or if you'd like to see my resume please get in touch!

“Very responsible and fun! I felt safe with Breanna and I know my kids had a great day. Thank you!”

Lexi 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m an experienced childcare professional with several years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I’ve spent much of my career working with infants, including supporting their developmental milestones, establishing routines, preparing bottles and meals, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and passionate about helping children feel safe, loved, and supported as they grow. I love incorporating reading, sensory play, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities into my days. I’m looking for a wonderful family to build a lasting relationship with and provide attentive, nurturing care for their little ones!

“We had such a great experience with Lexi! She was so sweet, caring, and attentive with our babies. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It’s such a relief knowing your little ones are in good hands, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable babysitter! ❤️”

"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)."
