Clare $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Clare and I am a Pediatric Occupational Therapist with a passion for working with children! I currently work for Children’s Minnesota but would love the opportunity to spend time babysitting and helping families in my community in my spare time. I am hard-working, creative, playful, and have extensive experience with children both professionally and personally. Originally from Colorado, I love spending time adventuring in the outdoors. I live with my husband in Minneapolis where we enjoy live music, hiking, skiing, and time with family.

Tanya $15 per hour for 1 child

I'm Tanya, a college student at the University of Minnesota Duluth with hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings and kids of close family friends. I'm patient, responsible, and genuinely love making kids feel comfortable and having fun. I'm good with all ages, can help with homework or any learning based tasks, and I'm always down to make snacks or a simple meal while I'm there. I'm also totally comfortable and willing to take care of pets. I love kids and am simply looking for opportunities to do what I enjoy and make busy families lives a little easier.

Sarah $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have over 20 years experience working with children in both childcare centers and home settings. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and 12 units of child development coursework, as well as literacy courses. I am also a mother of 2 daughters ages 12 and 2! I LOVE all animals and currently have 2 dogs. I am easy going but structured and organized. I absolutely love spending my time with wonderous children ...and believe that there's nothing more precious in this life than a baby who's learning to crawl (and walk). Although, I recognize and appreciate the lil quirks that come with each stage of development.

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. :)
