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.

Tiera $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Tiera and I have experience working with kids for 5+ years. My first job at 15 is where it all started when I worked the summer in the youth care program for one of the Minneapolis parks and Recreation. Following up I worked at Great wolf lodge in the water park area from 16-17 years old and even though that’s not hands on with kids I still count it because it was my responsibility to help keep it safe for them. Once I turned 18 and graduated high-school I began working for the new horizon company working with the ages as young as 6 weeks up to the age of 5yrs ,but, main group with the ages of 18 months- 3yrs. I am currently in process of getting my CDA which is an early education associates. I am licensed certified in First aid & cpr. I believe in the conscious discipline method and that’s how I am with the children in my care. I’m also skilled in the creative curriculum area so I’m comfortable enough to say I CAN help your child meet there milestones. I appreciate you for taking the time to read my intro and if you made it this far I would like to end with my personality and why i am here for you. I feel I have a bubbly goofy and open but could be quite quiet . I’m very understanding and patient and empathetic. Im also very creative so im always got an activity planned. Im here for you and your child to just be an extra hand you count on. Im here to help!

Abby $19 per hour for 1 child

Experienced, Caring Babysitter with a Lifelong Love for Kids and Pets Hi there! My name is [Your Name], and I’ve been caring for kids since I was 11 years old—starting out as a neighborhood babysitter for families with little ones ranging from 6 months to 5 years old. I’ve looked after up to 3 children at a time and continued babysitting consistently through high school, always enjoying the energy, imagination, and honesty kids bring to life. After high school, I spent my summers as an overnight summer camp counselor—building on my skills in responsibility, safety, and creating fun, memorable experiences for children. During college, I continued to babysit on and off, maintaining that special connection to helping families and engaging with kids of all ages. I also absolutely love animals! I grew up with large-breed dogs like Labs and Golden Retrievers and now have a few four-legged (and scaly!) family members of my own. My first pet as an adult was a bearded dragon named Harold—he’s 14 now and still going strong! I’ve also had two amazing dogs: Gus, a French Bulldog who was perfect in every mischievous way, and Finley, a fun-loving Boxer who’s a proud toy destroyer, a dog’s dog, and a world-class snuggler. Whether you need a reliable sitter for your kids, someone who’s great with pets, or both—I’m here to help with warmth, patience, and a great sense of humor. I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can support you!
