Sada $20 per hour for 1 child

Since 2017, I have gained extensive childcare experience caring for my five younger siblings from infancy through the pre-teen years. In the summer of 2025, I began gaining formal childcare experience, including part-time and occasional babysitting, four months as an after-school YMCA staff member, and six months as a teaching assistant at an elementary school. A little about me: I am an incoming college student (Fall 2026) with a passion for caring for children, and my dream career is to become a pediatrician. Some of my key characteristics include being energetic, playful, patient, responsible, and attentive.

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!
