Hi! My name is Ella and I am a first year law student. Although I am new to the babysitting/nanny scene, I grew up taking care of my younger brother who is seven years younger than me. I was also a part of the Big Brother Big Sister program in high school where I interacted with elementary aged children. I really enjoy interacting with children and I am capable of creating a fun and supportive environment!
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.
Hello families! My name is Karen I prefer Ren. I have been working with children and families for 10+ years! I am a certified postpartum doula and have worked as an infant teacher, toddler, preschool and school aged children as a paraprofessional! I’m currently in school finishing up my bachelors in clinical social work!
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. :)
Hi! My name is Hailey and I recently graduated from the University of Minnesota with a bachelors of science degree in environmental science. I am currently taking a gap year before going to get my masters and wanted to work in an environment where I can gain more experience with younger audiences and make an impact on youth! I enjoy reading, hiking, painting, baking, running, and much more. I am available to work Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays anytime between 1-10 pm, Wednesdays 5 am- 4 pm, and Saturdays 12:30-10 pm!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
