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.

Booked by 1 family in Maple Grove, MN

Hi, I’m Giulia. I’m 23 years old and I’m from Italy. I’ve been working as a nanny for over a year and have experience with newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers. I also worked in summer camps (6-12yo kids). I’m a very sociable and friendly person who enjoys working with children. I am a caring, energetic and dependable nanny who loves spending time with children. I enjoy helping them learn new things, be creative, and have fun while making sure they feel safe and supported. I don’t have any problem with pets (I have a dog and two cats!)

“Giulia was punctual, kind, and easy to work with! Our son had a lot of fun with her. We’d be happy to have her babysit again! ”

Acacia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Acacia and I am a mom, entrepreneur, and avid animal lover. I have a great deal of experience with children of all ages. This experience comes from raising my own kids and from giving a helping hand to siblings and friends when they have needed it. In my early twenties I also worked for a year as a personal care attendant mostly with seniors, but also with a few children who had disabilities as well. In addition to this, I have also cared for my own grandparents in times of need and my father when he was fighting cancer. I grew up on a hobby farm which fostered a huge love of animals in me. I have a lot of experience with a large array of animals and currently own my own business in petcare that I do during the week. I am comfortable with most aspects of petcare and I am currently certified in pet first aid and CPR. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to getting to know you and your loved ones better!
