Hello! I'm a mother of two adult children with over 20 years of experience in education, after school programs and child care.

Liliyanna $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Liliyanna I’m offering services in children care and pet care, ranging from all ages. I grew up with many siblings ( a total of 10) so taking care of the younger ones comes natural. I also am an animal lover as I have both a cat and a dog. I’m currently a student at the University of Minnesota and work in retail. In previous years I’ve been apart of AVID tutoring for high schoolers, transitional helper for younger classmen, and volunteering at elementary schools.

Nhi $30 per hour for 1 child

My background includes being an active tutor for students ages 4-14. I was highly involved in helping take care of my little brother when he was an infant until about 12 years old so I’ve developed child care skills in those ages. I’ve also subbed at schools working with preschoolers, kindergartners, and first graders. I have experience in nannying before as well. My personality traits include being patient, fun, calm & playful. These are the talents that make me an amazing caregiver!

Clover $19 per hour for 1 child

I would love to be a nanny because I genuinely enjoy working with kids and creating a fun, engaging, and safe environment for them. I’ve always loved working with kids and have hands-on experience through AmeriCorps and dance training, where I learned how to keep children active and happy. I’m currently in college studying kinesiology with a focus on child and adolescent development, so I understand how important movement and play are for kids as they grow. I’m available on weeknights and weekends and would be so excited to create a safe and fun environment for your child while you take some well-deserved time for yourself!

"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."

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)."
