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!
Amanda $22 per hour for 1 child
With a strong foundation in service and dedication, I am a compassionate caregiver and military veteran, bringing a wealth of experience and a nurturing spirit to every role I undertake. With a Bachelor’s degree, I combine academic knowledge with practical skills honed through diverse experiences, including my time as a para-professional within the school district. In this role, I have provided support to young children and those with special needs, ensuring an inclusive and enriching environment for all. As a proud dog mom to a 14-year-old pup, I understand the importance of companionship and empathy, qualities that translate seamlessly into my caregiving approach. My professional background as a kitchen staff member at a Girl Scout camp has further developed my ability to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, catering to the needs of children and fostering their growth through engaging activities. Additionally, my passion for gardening reflects my nurturing nature and commitment to fostering growth—both in plants and in the lives of those I care for. I am dedicated to providing high-quality care, ensuring that every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered. My unique blend of military discipline, educational experience, and a heartfelt commitment to service, I am not just a caregiver but a steadfast advocate for the well-being of those I serve.

Booked by 2 families in Edina, 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!”
