Moon $20 per hour for 1 child

Experience & Skills: I am responsible and caring, with extensive experience taking care of young children and seniors. I previously worked as a babysitter in White Bear Lake at my own home, which was more convenient for the parents. I also have experience with children of different ages, as I am a mother of four myself. I easily connect with both children and adults and create a safe, friendly, and comfortable atmosphere.

Booked by 1 family in Osseo, 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! ”

Christina $18 per hour for 1 child

I have been working with children since I was 9 but officially started at 13, and I fell in love with it! I primarily watched and cared for my 6 younger siblings, along with many of my family and friends children. I've worked with kids of all ages and I am also experienced with working with children who have autism. I have 3 younger brothers who all have autism. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games or making fun craft projects! And on special occasions baking treats :). I love kids and I take pride in the patience and discipline I’ve learned from it. I always strive to do the best and to have a strong hardworking mindset. And I always take working with children to the heart.

Pets: I've fostered hundreds of pets over the years & recently focused on crisis fostering & providing accessible pet care. I often pet sit in my home (which I share with Paisley Bark, a goofy bloodhound) so I usually have 2-5 dogs around. That said, I am able to provide separate space for pets who struggle with reactivity or who simply prefer a calmer environment. Social pets w/permission are welcome to interact with select others under close supervision in accordance w/their preferred personality/play style. For dogs w/separation anxiety (or owner convenience) I provide pick-up & drop-off services. I also offer services in client homes (check-ins, meals, let outs, walks, house sitting) based on the needs of your pet. As pet sitter w/experience caring for a range of medical needs including illness & injury, I am comfortable & adept administering most types of medication (oral, topical, & subcutaneous). I've worked with most breeds/sizes & a vast range of personalities/behavioral needs. I am a proponent of positive reinforcement strategies & I prefer to stick to any routines & schedules a pet is used to so I ask clients to share as much info as they can regarding rules, training, treats etc. so I can provide as consistent an experience as possible. Pet owners are the experts in the care of their pets & I aim to accommodate any requests/preferences. Though I have a lot of experience, owner input is essential to create an environment where both your pet & I are set up for success. Childcare: My mother ran a daycare out of our home & I started helping with the care of other children while I still was one & served as a live-in nanny for my nephew in his first years. Because I often pet sit in my home (to guarantee safety for all involved) I prefer to kid sit elsewhere. My background is Customer Success & Ops so in most of my adult life I've watched kids for friends only periodically but recently started caring for a few kids in my neighborhood. I myself am AuDHD (Autistic w/ADHD) & while we are all different, my experience has motivated me to be as accepting, safe, patient, & compassionate an adult for neurodiverse kids as I was lucky enough to have growing up. My caregiving relies heavily on parental guidance, the more I know the more successful I can be. I only sit for a few kids & while I'm open to more, I hope for open and direct communication with regards to expectations & boundaries to ensure I'm able to meet your definition of great care.

“Liz has been watching our dogs whenever we travel for the past 10 years! She takes incredible care of our pups, and has had them at all different age ranges - including puppy time frame (<18 months) all the way to a senior dog (14+) that needed lots of special care and medication. They are always happy, healthy, and (most importantly) tuckered out anytime they return home from a visit with their “Auntie Liz”! If you’re looking for an EXCELLENT pet sitter who takes incredible care of any animal she comes across, look no further! <3”
