Find an emergency babysitter in Saint Paul, MN

Hi, I'm Anna! I'm a student at the University of Minnesota studying Animal Science, and will be graduating in May. I'm offering occasional babysitting, petsitting, and housesitting services. While I do not have as many years of experience babysitting or being a nanny, I do have experience working with kids of all ages! I've babysat kids ranging from 2 years of age to teenagers, and have cooked, cleaned, changed diapers, and entertained for the kids. Most importantly, through the 4-H, FFA, and Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations, I've learned how to facilitate educational and entertaining learning through a variety of activities. I'm very comfortable working with any type of pet! My experience with animals and veterinary medicine is a great asset while watching over your pet. I'm also comfortable performing a variety of household chores, and would be happy to help you out! I have a clean record, access to personal transportation, and am CPR trained for both humans and pets. I am mostly looking for occasional jobs due to a constantly-changing school and work schedule. I look forward to potentially working with you!

Hi! I am Alexandra. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Minnesota. I am studying elementary education and child development. I love working with kids! My dad is the youngest of nine, so babies and kids have always been a part of my life. For the past four summers, I have been a lifeguard and swim instructor with the City of St. Paul. Currently, I volunteer in the school at the Ronald McDonald House and in high school I was a volunteer tutor at a homeless shelter, so I have lots of experience with homework help! I am also a huge animal lover. I love doing arts and crafts, getting outside, and playing games with kids!

I absolutely love kids! I’m a mom of 4 and a former teacher, principal, and superintendent. Patience and compassion are my strengths, while still maintaining control through calm. I savor time spent with kids of all ages, with babies being the sweetest. I also enjoy spending time with and taking care of toddlers all the way to teenagers. Yes, I said teenagers! I have a way of connecting with them and building appropriate relationships. In addition to caring for kids, I can help with homework. My teaching experience is in middle and high school English Language Arts, Math, Biology, and Science. My tutoring experience is in all the age groups with an obvious focus on the areas I’ve taught. Other than the content, one of my strengths while teaching was in classroom management, because I have the ability to use expectations, logical consequences, and relationships to impact student behaviors. And one of the most effective and compassionate, yet effective ways of managing inappropriate behaviors is through using Restorative Practices. I have many years of experience addressing child behavior this way and helping people, both kids and adults through conflict using this approach.

Since 2017, I have gained extensive childcare experience caring for my five younger siblings from infancy through the pre-teen years. In the summer of 2025, I began gaining formal childcare experience, including part-time and occasional babysitting, four months as an after-school YMCA staff member, and six months as a teaching assistant at an elementary school. A little about me: I am an incoming college student (Fall 2026) with a passion for caring for children, and my dream career is to become a pediatrician. Some of my key characteristics include being energetic, playful, patient, responsible, and attentive.
