Elizabeth $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Elizabeth and I am 26 years old. I have a lot of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I come from a large family and regularly have done all housekeeping duties at home, such as cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, as well as watching the kids. I have 7 younger siblings and babysat them often growing up, as well as for many other friends and families. I have had multiple nanny jobs and worked at daycares in the infant and toddler rooms as well! I have been pediatric and adult CPR and First Aid certified. I also have completed a certified child development course online. I am a single mom of a super chill 1 year old girl(born 6/23). She's a very happy girl and adjusts to new surroundings and people easily. Would you be okay with her coming along with me? I understand if not. I'm currently a nanny for a family with a 2yo and 6m old where I bring my daughter with, but they will no longer need care come September, so I’m looking for another family! I would love to hear back from you and learn more if this position is still available!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 12 families in Waconia, 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!

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!

"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)."
