Nikki $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Nikki. I'm looking for some part-time jobs. I was a PCA for a down syndrome child for about 5 years. He also had other complications. I was also a nanny for twin toddlers for a few years. I love working with children and animals. I also have experience working with elders. I took care of my grandfather while he was doing home hospice. I work full-time in a large metro hospital as a sterile processing technician. With that job, I make sure all the surgical instruments are sterile and ready for surgeries. My hobbies include shopping, traveling, and watching hockey. I have a 1-year-old nephew who I absolutely adore and love spending time with. Right now I have one cat and I'm looking to get a second one soon. I had two, but one recently passed away.

Ella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ella and I am a first year law student. Although I am new to the babysitting/nanny scene, I grew up taking care of my younger brother who is seven years younger than me. I was also a part of the Big Brother Big Sister program in high school where I interacted with elementary aged children. I really enjoy interacting with children and I am capable of creating a fun and supportive environment!

Marta $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Marta and I’m a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, based out of northeast Minneapolis. I have a car and am willing to travel pretty much anywhere in the metro area. I am comfortable with small children, although no infants at this time due to my lack of experience there, as well as animals and seniors if needed. I have chronic pain but can do light housekeeping tasks and small errands if needed! Overall, I am a very competent and motivated worker and others would be able to attest that. I’m also extremely upbeat, fun, and positive! I’m determined to not let my chronic pain get in the way of my ability to work, so I’m taking proactive measures to manage it! I’m very flexible right now, as I’m only in school part-time. I don’t mind driving kids to sports games and appointments, it’s just lifting heavy objects like a ton of groceries that’s hard for me! Please let me know if you’re interested, thanks. :)
