Rayah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Rayah and I just graduated from nursing school. I grew up babysitting various ages for family friends and neighbors. I am a pretty outgoing person who loves to be outside! I love creating fun, safe, and engaging activities—whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, or helping with homework I have two dogs of my own so I am very comfortable around pets. I’m also certified in CPR/First Aid and comfortable with things like meal prep, bedtime routines, and light household tasks. Families can count on me to be responsible, dependable, and caring. Babysitting is something I truly enjoy because I love being a positive part of a child’s day. I’d be excited to meet your family and help make things a little easier for you!

Barb $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! I retired early after 38 years of teaching. I received Elementary Education as well special education degrees from Luther College in Decorah, IA. I later received my Early Child Special Education degree from Mankato State University and my Graduate Degree from St Mary's University. I am presently driving two hours to care for my 2 year old granddaughter in Hopkins, Mn. I typically watch her two weeks each month, and rotate with a couple others. My schedule varies. I typically do not watch her on Tuesdays or weekends. She truly has been a blessing in our lives. I'm not sure that my schedule will accommodate your needs but thought l'd reach out just in case you need a backup or part-time. Thank you, Barb

Shawnshay $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shawnshay, and I’m excited to introduce myself! I am a mother of two—a 5- year-old and an 11-month-old—so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I currently work as a special education assistant in the Minneapolis school district and have been in this role for the past five years. I have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, as well as those with emotional and behavioral needs, from kindergarten through 6th grade. Before this, I worked as a teacher’s assistant in a daycare setting for over four years, caring for children from infants to school age. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. In my free time, I love arts and crafts and spending time outdoors—activities I enjoy sharing with children to keep them engaged and happy!
