Dulini $20 per hour for 1 child

I have always loved and learned from children understanding deeply the value of patience and listening, mindfulness and creativity. I began babysitting at 10 years old and as the daughter of a Montessori teacher I was always surrounded by children and very used to supporting them and not only play but in education. I am an artist and yogi currently in MN caring for my 80 year old mother as we transition her into a greater care facility and have traveled extensively a Ross the globe meeting all kinds of people in all kinds of different places. I offer a beautiful and rare presence in working with children. I’m highly engaging and listen to you and your child to better support in caring for them. I’m very flexible and happy to make food, pick them up from school, take them to any events and/or activities. I often watch my friends’s children while I’m here in Minnesota whenever they have activities. Because I don’t have children on my own yet was constantly surrounded by them as a child and even as an adult living with friends and and their children; very family oriented in that way. Honored to spend time with your little ones and support you in ways that make your home and this world a better place ! Show less

"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

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)."
