Katie E. $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting/nannying since I was 13 years old (so decades at this point!). I am a classroom teacher (certified in EBD, DD, and SLD) and have taught all grade levels for over 14 years. I also taught K-5 gym and yoga for 4 years. I love playing with kids, being silly, singing, dancing, and spending time outside. I love cartoons, toys...and well, I'm a kid at heart! My priority is your child's well-being and safety. I have cat and dog sit and have spent considerable time with seniors either through social events or teaching yoga.

Brianna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families, I may be new to this app, but I am definitely not new to child care! I got my first job at a child care center in Rosemount when I was 16 years old working in the infant room. I worked there for a year and a half, then spent a year in the toddler room (changing more diapers than I could possibly count). I continued to work there while I was in college, and became the “lead teacher” of the preschool room! During this time I spent two summers nannying for a family that had two identical twin four year old boys, and an 8 year old girl two-three days a week. I also had countless babysitting jobs on the weekends! I eventually had to leave my kids at that day care when I was 20 years old because I got a job at the university of Minnesota’s Child Development Center working with the 4 and 5 year olds. I also was involved in a research project called Chicago Longitudinal Study promoting early education for low income neighborhoods around this same time. I graduated with a Developmental Psychology degree (also knows as Child Psychology) and began my Masters program in Clinical Social Work with a speciality in family and children. I now work at a elementary school in Hennepin county as the school therapist for the children! I’m looking to use my experience to make some extra money to pay off some of the student debt. I’ve always loved working with kids, and I have the experience and education to back it up! I have experience with all ages, and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have! I’m willing to negotiate on pricing depending on the situation.

Booked by 2 families in Bloomington, MN

Hi I’m Katy ! I’m a full time flight attendant part time baby sitter and pet sitter as well. I adore kids they tend to be my favorite passengers on the plane and I love to help out family’s when I can! I was a nanny in high school for a couple families as well as a regular babysitter for others and I wanted to get back to it!

“Katy was extremely kind and took great care of my two kids. They played and she listened to them intently. When I got home my kids were so excited to tell me all about all the fun they had with her. She also updated me on how they were doing without me asking for it🩷 Thank you so much again!”

Najma $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am in my freshman year of college and I’m studying to become a teacher. I grew up with 5 siblings and took care of them usually. I also babysat for children around the neighborhood when their parents were away. I love taking care of children and work with all ages! I can clean. I have also worked in a senior home so I am available to work with seniors as well!

Ibtihaj $17 per hour for 1 child

I am born and raised in Minneapolis and I currently am enrolled in college. I dont have much experience caring for kids all the time however I do have younger family members I have babysat. My mother has also worked in early childcare for over 25 years if that gives me any extra credibility(?). I get along pretty well with kids of all ages and I would say I am patient and I can handle frequent meltdown or any incidents that occur. I currently do not have any personal transportation but I do take the bus and I can walk.
