Alexandra Saint Paul
$17 per hour for 1 child

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!

Booked by 2 families in South Saint Paul, MN

Hi I’m Katy ! I’m a full time flight attendant part time baby sitter and pet sitter as well. I adore kids they tend to be my favorite passengers on the plane and I love to help out family’s when I can! I was a nanny in high school for a couple families as well as a regular babysitter for others and I wanted to get back to it!

Katy was extremely kind and took great care of my two kids. They played and she listened to them intently. When I got home my kids were so excited to tell me all about all the fun they had with her. She also updated me on how they were doing without me asking for it🩷 Thank you so much again!
