Booked by 41 families in Saint Paul, MN

Hello! My name is Randi. I’m originally from California, and lived in San Francisco for about 9 years before moving to Minneapolis this past March! I work full time in Human Resources for a tech company, but I’m remote 2 days a week and have a fairly flexible schedule for evening jobs. I have 10 years of experience on Urbansitter and babysitting in big cities! I have a safe, reliable car and I am very comfortable with household tasks and errands as well! I love working with children, and part time childcare work is the perfect fit for someone like me who needs a more flexible work schedule! Feel free to message me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you!

Booked by 1 family in Saint Paul, MN

Hi there! My name is Erika and I have been a nanny for about 4 years now. I have experience with infants (4 months) to 12 years old. Additionally, I'm a 2nd-year graduate student studying to become a Speech Pathologist at UMN where most of my clinical work is focused on pediatrics. I'm CPR certified and was a certified nursing assistant for multiple years. Along with childcare, I have taken additional opportunities for watching pets (dogs, and cats). I'm looking for occasional childcare or petcare opportunities during the evenings or weekends. I would love to form a relationship to become a recurring contact and support for your family! I'm looking forward to hearing from you and setting up a time to discuss opportunities. Thanks!

Hi There! My name is Rachel and I'm 29 years old. I currently work full time as an accounting assistant at a small manufacturing company. I’m looking to fill my extra time babysitting on the weekends, I like to stay busy! I have over 10 years of childcare experience and would love to work with your family and assist with any of your childcare needs. I am adaptable with an easy-going personality. I started working at my church's Summer Camp program and Sunday School/nursery when I was 15 years old. During college I got my first nannying job and I have since been a nanny for 3 wonderful families. In addition to this, I have also babysat for many families since 2017, whether it be one time or regularly. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, spending time outside, cooking, and traveling. My hobbies include taking dance classes, ice skating lessons, and playing in the bell choir at church. I have a valid driver's license, insurance, and a clean driving record. In addition, we do not have any pets at my house and I'm a non-smoker. Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear from you!
