Sheila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a current Macalester College Spanish and Sociology major who is passionate about working with kids. I have 4 years of experience as a summer camp counselor and one year of experience in after-school programming. My background has given me extensive practice coming up with engaging, creative, and educational activities for kids of all ages. I have received extensive safety and childcare training, including CPR and First Aid. I love cooking and baking and know how to teach age-appropriate food-safety skills to cook with kids. I grew up with food allergies, so I know how to take the best precautions to help kids with dietary restrictions. Another passion of mine is helping kids explore the world outside-- this fall, I'm taking a course specifically on Outdoor Environmental Education, so I have lots of new activities to try out!

Hi! My name is Cailey and I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter with 4+ years of childcare experience working in a daycare setting. I enjoy working with children and creating a safe, fun, and welcoming environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m experienced with caring for children of different ages (and multiples) and helping with daily routines, meals, activities, and bedtime. I’m patient, and dependable, and I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide reliable, caring support when you need it!

Makya $28 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dedicated and experienced caregiver with a strong background working with children of all ages. I currently work as a Special Education Assistant with Minneapolis Public Schools, where I support students with diverse needs, including behavioral, emotional, and developmental support. As a mom of three, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and great at building trust with both kids and parents. I can help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and keeping kids engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities. I also have experience maintaining clean and organized homes through my cleaning business, so I naturally keep spaces tidy and comfortable. I’m passionate about helping families feel supported and giving parents peace of mind.

Booked by 2 families in Minneapolis, MN

Hello! My name is Bekah and I am a NICU nurse. My journey to nursing is rooted in my desire to care for others and integrate my background in sociology with hands-on work. I grew up caring for my siblings and cousins, always wanting to take part in things like diaper changes and bottle feeding, even when I was a bit too young. I am instinctively attuned to the needs of others which lends itself to my future career and to caregiving in general. I specialize in over night newborn care and being a “mother’s helper.” I can assist with feeding, lactation, sleep, and other newborn needs!

“Reliable and good with kiddos. Would recommend”
