Booked by 4 families in South Saint Paul, MN

Hi There! My name is Rachel and I'm 29 years old. I currently work full time as an accounting assistant at a small manufacturing company. I’m looking to fill my extra time babysitting on the weekends, I like to stay busy! I have over 10 years of childcare experience and would love to work with your family and assist with any of your childcare needs. I am adaptable with an easy-going personality. I started working at my church's Summer Camp program and Sunday School/nursery when I was 15 years old. During college I got my first nannying job and I have since been a nanny for 3 wonderful families. In addition to this, I have also babysat for many families since 2017, whether it be one time or regularly. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, spending time outside, cooking, and traveling. My hobbies include taking dance classes, ice skating lessons, and playing in the bell choir at church. I have a valid driver's license, insurance, and a clean driving record. In addition, we do not have any pets at my house and I'm a non-smoker. Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear from you!

Safia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Safia and I’m currently a junior at the University of St. Thomas, studying finance. I love kids and have experience working with them my whole life — I have two younger siblings who I’ve babysat since I was young. I also worked at an autism center for 3 years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and supporting children with diverse needs. I’m also comfortable with household chores and genuinely enjoy cleaning and keeping things organized. I have been a caretaker for my grandma, so I’m well experienced with senior care too. I am allergic to and scared of dogs, but happy to work with families with cats.

I’m a certified CNA, BLS certified, and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of St. Thomas.

Jobin $18 per hour for 1 child

After babysitting friends children and my own nieces and nephews for 20 years. I’ve recently started doing it for others. My friends and family will tell you that I really like kids and kids really like me. I'm good at crafting, helping with homework, and keeping kids busy away from the screens. In addition to the babies and toddlers I am presently nannying, I currently have three nieces who are 7, a niece who is 10, nephews that are 14 and 18 and nieces that are 20 and 21. So I am familiar with child development from birth to adulthood. What I love about little ones is how fast they learn and they change so much it’s like meeting a new kid every week! I’m not just an occasional babysitter. I have been with these kids anywhere from 10 to 30 hours a week depending on the week. If I’ve learned one thing it is that every child is different, every parent is different and clear communication is the key to success. I will work hard to meet your expectations, ask questions where necessary and use my judgment in emergencies. I’m a non-smoker, I have a reliable car and I am fully vaccinated for COVID and everything else. I am CPR certified and I have taken classes in SIDS/abusive head trauma and pediatric first aid.

"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!"
