McKenzie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is McKenzie. I am a recent graduate from Prior Lake High School and will be attending the University of St. Thomas next year. I also have a lot of college credits that I completed in high school, so I am definitely able to help out with any homework or summer practice work. In high school I was a fellowship of Christian athletes (FCA) leader, student leader at my church, junior optimist member, laker leaders member, varsity track and field runner, varsity cross country runner, and a soccer player. I have lots of childcare experience. I have been both volunteering and working in childcare for four years. I have been a swim lesson instructor for children of all ages for two years. I have also volunteered at a summer camp for three years. I have been babysitting for many years as well. These job experiences have taught me how to entertain and care for children for long periods of time. Also how to resolve conflicts effectively. I know basic safety and supervision skills as well. I supervise, care for, and entertain all the kids I watch. I love to stay active and busy so I would love to play sports, read books, do crafts, and much more with them. I am definitely a good nanny for children who love to stay busy and off screens. I am comfortable with pets as well. My mom used to watch dogs when I was younger and I would help her a lot. I also have done a lot of dog watching and dog walking jobs myself. I also currently have a puppy. I am also very willing to clean the house, meal prep, or do any chores. I typically try to clean whenever I am able to while babysitting. I really want to nanny this summer so please reach out if you need one or if you have any questions!

Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone! My name is Melissa, and I am very new to this site. You can call me nanny Mcphee! I am not kidding when I say this! I have this strong internal mother instinct that naturally drives me to create a safe, fun, and loving atmosphere for children in my presence. I was very fortunate to gain a wealth of experience working with children in all age groups in a multitude of different school settings. I worked for Spokane schools district 81 (Spokane Washington) as an Instructional aid/float classified substitute. In this position, I worked with children with special needs, children who needed behavioral intervention, and I worked side by side with teachers in an array of different classroom settings. My experience does not end here, I also worked as an Education Assistant and had the pleasure to work with students from age groups K-12 in a clinical/learning environment at Prairie Care and I worked as a lead teach in a daycare center for one year.. My personality is very exuberant and child-like. Most people would say I have an innocence to me that awakens my inner child. It's no surprise that children tend to warm up to me very quickly. Throughout my personal life, I have played the role of a nanny or babysitter for many of my family members, neighbors, and friends. I love animals so much and I have cared for cats and dogs from previous pet-owner experience. My number one goal in life, is to achieve happiness through helping other people. What better way can I achieve this none other than putting a smile on a person's face and filling their heart with laughter. Lastly, I graduated from college with an AAS, AA degree, I hold a Medical Assistant certification from Spokane Community College and I completed a year of college credits from Eastern Washington University with a focus on education and pedagogy. At the moment, I am available as an on-call nanny. I currently work as a school bus driver which takes up my schedule throughout the week. I can always work with families and be flexible with scheduling.

"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)."
