Lynnea $25 per hour for 1 child

I have always been a natural born care giver. Growing up with a brother nine years younger than myself in a single parent household, I took on a lot of responsibilities at a young age. I also babysat for a number of families in our neighborhood. Caring for my brother, making meals and helping out around the house. In my adult life I have worked as a full time nanny for a family with two young boys, an area that I was of course quite familiar to me. I have also been a step mother. I love kids, and although I don't have any of my own (yet!) I have enjoyed being a part of my niece's and nephew's lives and those of my friend's children. I am a very creative person. I love to learn and explore. I went to the University of Minnesota studying fine art. I later became a pastry chef. I have a passion for food and cooking. I love to teach and have fun. I think that learning should be fun! I am easy going. I love to get outside and explore nature. I am always there to lend a listening ear, a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on. People have told me that I am a very kind, and insightful person. Honesty and values are very important to me and I take that very seriously. If you choose to hire me, I will hold your children accountable with kindness. I do not believe in yelling. In fact I very much dislike it. If I sound like a good fit for you and yours please get in contact. Thanks!

Katelyn $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Katelyn, and I am a Nursing major at the University of Minnesota. I am currently considering pursuing a career in Pediatric Nursing in the future! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I absolutely love babysitting, it has been by far my favorite job so far! I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and have most of my experience with one particular family where I watched two kids (1-3 yrs and 4-6 yrs) for around 2-3 years. I have also babysat on a few other instances for various families. I have babysitting experience with toddlers and kids. I absolutely love spending time with children and pets, and I have past work experience with both parties!

jacob $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jake and I attend the university of St. Thomas. I play wide receiver on the football team and I am involved in a few other clubs. I am a big people person and love to make people laugh. I have been a nanny for several years for kids of almost all ages. Growing up with two younger sisters and three younger boy cousins, I’ve gained a lot of experience and responsibilities taking care of them. I love to see kids thrive in school, sports, and other hobbies! I grew up with a chocolate lab so I am very used to being around/taking care of dogs. I am excited to meet you!
