Charlotte $18 per hour for 1 child

I've been a childcare provider for over seven years, motivated by my passion for fostering children's growth and development and my positive experiences in previous babysitting roles. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to learn, play, and grow. As a patient, calm, creative, and friendly caregiver, I enjoy playing various games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that enhance their learning. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children simultaneously and am available to provide references upon request. I hold CPR and First Aid certifications, and I follow the parents' preferred communication method to keep them informed about their child's day or any issues that may arise. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and learning more about your childcare needs.

Morgan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Morgan, and I am a second year student at the University of Minnesota. I'm studying Architecture as my major and then other cool things like languages and ballroom dance! My current language of study is Japanese, which I am beginner-intermediate in, but I also have experience in Spanish (beginner-intermediate), ASL (beginner), and Russian (Beginner). I have plenty of childcare experience, having grown up in a small town with lots of family and younger cousins to take care of. Notably, I have done a weekend job that lasted two nights, three days for four little girls aging 3-8 years old. I have also cared for a large group (8 kids) of 7-10 year olds for an evening that was busy busy busy! It was a lot of fun, and the kids got to play out all of their energy before bed. I have experience with all ages, and am open to many different types of jobs. I typically tidy up the houses I sit at, especially if my work is to get the kids to bed for the night, because I can clean up while they sleep. I am christian as well, so putting kids to bed with bedtime prayers is very comfortable to me, and I can pray with them if they would like me to.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
