Hi all! My name is Alex, and I’m currently taking a gap year before starting PA school. I’m a certified CNA, BLS certified, and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of St. Thomas. I currently work casually at a hospital and recently served as an in-home PCA for a woman with ALS. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide compassionate, attentive care — and I bring that same level of dedication when working with children. I also have experience babysitting and have volunteered at a youth camp, helping lead fun and safe activities for kids of various ages. With my background in healthcare and child care, I offer a calm, reliable, and engaging presence. I’m especially attentive to safety and enjoy supporting children’s learning and creativity. 📍 Available for part-time or occasional babysitting Ideal Rates: $20–$25+/hour (depending on number of kids) Comfortable with all ages Located in Woodbury, MN If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and nurturing to care for your kids, I’d love to connect! Feel free to message me with any questions or to schedule a time to chat.

Hi! My name is Faye. I have a degree in Psychology and Biblical Studies from Oak Hills Christian College. I have three children of my own, two of which are on the spectrum. I am accustomed to helping children work through their troubles. Sometimes, we all have big feelings! I most enjoy taking care of babies and toddlers. I love animals, having a dog and three cats myself. I am comfortable with animals inside or outside. In particular, I have experience with: dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, fish, tortoises, goats and chickens. I am happy to learn more! My main interests are reading, music and herbalism. I like fantasy and sci-fi( I'm a big nerd), and will gladly discuss Tolkien at length. I always have a little garden for my kids to free range for snacks, and will often dry herbs for food or salves. I have been a stay-at-home mom for several years because of our children's needs. They are getting older now, so I would like to branch out again. Please let me know if my experience meets your needs. I hope that we can be a blessing to eachother! Faye W.
