Tiffani $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tiffani and I am an aspiring speech language therapist/communication specialist. I have recently graduated from the University of Iowa with a bachelors in Speech and Hearing Sciences and will be attending the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities' Speech Language Therapy Program during Fall of 2026. As for my own personal interests and hobbies, I thoroughly enjoy cooking, biking, and finding fun crafts from Pinterest to do! I like to spend my free time in the nature and tufting rugs. I have a strong love for animals and currently have 3 cats of my own. Fun fact - but I also care for an outdoor colony of 6 cats! I have also cared for dogs, parakeets, and fish in my past as well. I have two years of experience working as a childcare assistant teacher and direct support professional. In these roles, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals of varying abilities and across different life stages—including toddlers, adults, and seniors. I consistently applied and strengthened my skills in cooking, cleaning, and running errands, while remaining attentive to the unique needs and personal goals of each individual. Through my experiences and educational background, I have a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and social demands and wellbeing of children and adults.

Rany $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello !! My name is Rany Nda. I’m 19, warm, patient, and caring, with a natural love for children. I’m energetic and playful when it’s time to have fun, calm and attentive when kids need comfort or guidance. I have cared for my nephew since birth (now 6), my two nieces, and spent 2 years working in a daycare with children from 3 months to 5 years. I am also very organized, and safety-focused, making sure children feel secure and supported. Currently, I’m a junior at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, studying neuroscience, and I aspire to become a pediatric neurologist. My experiences have taught me empathy, responsibility, and dedication to nurturing children’s growth and well-being.”

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.
