Yasmiin $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yasmiin. I recently graduated with a degree in Public Health and have always loved working with children. In addition to my professional experience mentoring youth, coaching, and caregiving, I have been blessed to help raise and live with my niece and nephew, who are now 5 and 7 years old. Being actively involved in their daily lives has taught me so much about patience, creativity, communication, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I am responsible, dependable, and caring, with experience supporting children of different ages and personalities. I enjoy planning fun activities that keep kids engaged, including arts and crafts, games, outdoor adventures, reading, and educational activities. I also enjoy helping with homework, preparing simple meals, maintaining routines, and assisting with light household tasks when needed. My background in caregiving and crisis intervention has strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, solve problems, and prioritize safety. Families can count on me to be attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in their children’s well-being. My goal is to create a fun, positive, and supportive experience where children feel comfortable, encouraged, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to support your family and build a meaningful connection with your children!

Hi-my name is Kyle, I am a grandpa and experienced special education teacher (30 years. I am offering child care, senior care, household services and pet care. I am a special education teacher with 30 years experience. I am looking for summer/temporary gigs. I am also available during breaks throughout the school year. I have worked with kids from all backgrounds, elementary-aged through young adult. I love dogs and cats, not interested in caring for reptiles and rodents. My experience working with the elderly is limited to my day-to-day experiences with my parents (it should count).

Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Lily! I go to Wellesley College and am on the tennis team. I'm from Minneapolis, MN and home for the summer (looking for work)! I have a lot of experience with childcare and tutoring. I have been babysitting for 5 years and have been online tutoring kids for a year. I also had the honor of going to Guatemala to tutor kids English in 2022. I am outgoing, hardworking, responsible, and fun. I love being around kids: I love thinking on my feet and coming up with engaging activities. I also am experienced in taking care of dogs as I have raised puppies and dogs growing up.

Paramitha $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a recent grad from Wayzata High School; incoming freshman at Macalester College! My caregiving journey began through teaching Indian dance to children between the ages of 4 and 13. This role allowed me to create a fun, culturally rich, and structured environment where kids could build confidence, and learn discipline through movement. It also gave me insight into how different children learn and communicate, helping me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. In addition to my teaching background, I’ve worked with children from infancy to 14 years old in a domestic violence shelter, where I provided supervision and emotional support. This experience required a high level of sensitivity, flexibility, and calmness, as I supported kids navigating trauma and transitions. I learned how to quickly build trust, create a sense of safety, and meet children’s emotional and physical needs in a thoughtful, nonjudgmental way. I’m experienced in managing multiple children at once, maintaining routines, and responding to a wide range of behaviors with empathy and consistency. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, helping with homework, or just being a comforting presence, I bring reliability, kindness, and a genuine love for helping others. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks, organization, or pet care as needed. My goal in every caregiving role is to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment for children. I'm very excited for the opportunity to work with kids, and would love to use my academic and artistic experiences to go through some engaging activities with them!

Alana $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a healthcare worker with over 10 years of experience as a nurse assistant. I have worked on many different floors with many different patient populations. The most recent position I held and my all time favorite was working on a PostPartum floor for 4 years taking care of new moms and their newborn babies. I absolutely adored taking care of the precious little babies and being involved in such a beautiful and important time in so many people's lives. In the past I have also done home health for an older child with cerebral palsy, as well as babysat and helped raise children from ages 2 all the way to 13. In my personal life I love hiking and camping, but I also enjoy playing videogames and have a fairly indepth knowledge on how online gaming and how to apply proper parental controls and limits so children can safely navigate in that environment (if that is allowed within your parenting style). I also am comfortable with most pets and animals and providing their basic cares.
