carly $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting for over 7 years working with children as young as 6 months up to age 10. I aspire to be a teacher and have received teacher training, so I know how to make learning fun and keep kids engaged. I love to sew and do arts and crafts, read, and play outdoors. I have a car for easy commutes and am very flexible to meet your childcare needs.

Sheila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a current Macalester College Spanish and Sociology major who is passionate about working with kids. I have 4 years of experience as a summer camp counselor and one year of experience in after-school programming. My background has given me extensive practice coming up with engaging, creative, and educational activities for kids of all ages. I have received extensive safety and childcare training, including CPR and First Aid. I love cooking and baking and know how to teach age-appropriate food-safety skills to cook with kids. I grew up with food allergies, so I know how to take the best precautions to help kids with dietary restrictions. Another passion of mine is helping kids explore the world outside-- this fall, I'm taking a course specifically on Outdoor Environmental Education, so I have lots of new activities to try out!

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.
