alexandra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alexandra and I am a caring and compassionate caregiver who truly finds joy in helping others. I always prioritize the needs and comfort of those around me, whether it’s children, adults, or animals. I have a strong sense of empathy that allows me to connect deeply and understand what others need, often before they even say it. I’m especially great with kids — patient, playful, and understanding — and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Helping others in any way I can isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am.

Kristin $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, care seekers! I'm a college degreed grandmother of 6 precious humans, and I'm a naturally caring, empathetic person. My BA is in a social services major, and I've worked both personally and professionally with adults, teens, and all ages of littles. I am patient, have that special "grandma energy," and can do everything from sing songs with your toddler to assisting your adolescent to make sense of that hard essay. As a good, health-aware cook, I can prep your ingredients for dinner (who doesn't need a sous chef?), or prepare the whole thing for the family, so you can come home to a hot meal, if that's what makes your life easier! Let me throw the laundry in the machine, load the dishwasher, iron your work shirts (does anyone do that anymore?), water the plants, get the mail, give your kiddo his snack, address your party invitations, play board games, and be there so your teenager has someone to ignore! Do you have an elder in the house? I will help your aged mom remember to take her meds, be sure she doesn't fall, play scrabble with grandpa, and prep their favorite sandwich with just the right amount of butter (that's important). I am respectful of all religions (or no religion), and will be sure to uphold your family's priorities so that your children have continuity within your home's environment. Just explain to me what your values are, and I'll consistently reflect them to your kids and elders (even if they are not my own values). I am friendly with all ethnicities. Do you have a special party coming up? If I'm available, we can work out some help with all the details to make your party run smoothly. I can prep a mean appetizer plate, set your table just so, assist with serving and clean up, and wrap those little gifts for your holiday event. Everybody needs some holiday help, right? Hit me up with what you envision, and we can lighten your load so you can have a little fun at your own event! Bonus: Sometimes I can even work on a holiday. I no longer host the Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter feasts (my adult kiddos do that), so if you are desperate for someone to peel the potatoes or make candy cane reindeers with your kindergartener while you wrap presents (or vice-versa), just ask me if I can make that happen. Let's collaborate to brighten up your stressful life!

Najma $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am in my freshman year of college and I’m studying to become a teacher. I grew up with 5 siblings and took care of them usually. I also babysat for children around the neighborhood when their parents were away. I love taking care of children and work with all ages! I can clean. I have also worked in a senior home so I am available to work with seniors as well!

Katie E. $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting/nannying since I was 13 years old (so decades at this point!). I am a classroom teacher (certified in EBD, DD, and SLD) and have taught all grade levels for over 14 years. I also taught K-5 gym and yoga for 4 years. I love playing with kids, being silly, singing, dancing, and spending time outside. I love cartoons, toys...and well, I'm a kid at heart! My priority is your child's well-being and safety. I have cat and dog sit and have spent considerable time with seniors either through social events or teaching yoga.

Ibtihaj $17 per hour for 1 child

I am born and raised in Minneapolis and I currently am enrolled in college. I dont have much experience caring for kids all the time however I do have younger family members I have babysat. My mother has also worked in early childcare for over 25 years if that gives me any extra credibility(?). I get along pretty well with kids of all ages and I would say I am patient and I can handle frequent meltdown or any incidents that occur. I currently do not have any personal transportation but I do take the bus and I can walk.
