Hello! I live in the Linden Hills neighborhood (South Minneapolis) and I’m looking to be a nanny/babysitter/ personal assistant also a house and dog/cat sitter. I have many references and have done this for many years . I would like to work in my neighborhood or no more than 30 minutes drive. I am CPR certified and I have taken additional classes with the state of Minnesota to also be a substitute preschool teacher. I am looking to work part time, flexible or occasional along with house and animal sitting for a period of time as you are away from home. Please consider me! I have many referrals. Thank you, Twyla
“Twyla has been an AMAZING for our family. She has supported with a sick baby home during the weekday, and a sick baby + toddler together. The kids gravitate to her, she’s great with them, and brings a positive, can-do, calm attitude. She’s also been so helpful in our home - tidying, dishes, and laundry during nap times. Very grateful we found her and plan to continue to us her regularly!”
In short: I sincerely love working with kids professionally and am excited to work with families while in grad school. I have four years experience working in youth mental health, in school programs, clinical settings, and after-school services. I can handle just about any situation that may arise- I am Adult and Pediatric CPR certified, received EMT-B training in 2015, and have worked professionally with youth aged 8-20. I work with kids because I truly love it- the joy, curiosity, and growth of spending time with children and adolescents is like no other. I am pursuing a Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy at Saint Mary's- towards a goal of licensed, trauma-informed therapy with youth and their families. I have also been babysitting and nannying on-and-off for 15 years, for families with children aged 0-12. I have three younger siblings and certainly got plenty of formative experience there, strengthened by working for neighbors and family friends over the years. I also have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish of all shapes, sizes, and energy needs!
Hello! My name is Brigid and I have been working with Kids for over 5 years! I have my Bachelor’s of Science in Education and two teaching licenses in Prek- 12th grade education! I am a full time preschool teacher but am always looking for some part time/occasional nannying or babysitting. I have over 5 years of experience with children as young as newborns to early high-school! Kids are my life and bring me so much joy. I have two younger siblings, (shown in my profile picture) 8 and 10, one with autism, that I have taken care of since they were born. Due to a difficult parental situation, I had lots of experience early on for caring for them as infants and toddlers, and let that carry me into working professionally with children since I was 15. I have great child care references I can provide and many past nanny/sitter familes I am still on great terms with and even visit for fun when I am back in my hometown! I am interested in all types of jobs, so feel free to reach out about anything! I make it a priority to make any space a child spends with me a safe one, and I encourage families of any and all backgrounds to not be shy to reach out, as I have grown up with a very mixed one myself:) Thank you for your consideration of me.
Hello! My name is Randi. I’m originally from California, and lived in San Francisco for about 9 years before moving to Minneapolis this past March! I work full time in Human Resources for a tech company, but I’m remote 2 days a week and have a fairly flexible schedule for evening jobs. I have 10 years of experience on Urbansitter and babysitting in big cities! I have a safe, reliable car and I am very comfortable with household tasks and errands as well! I love working with children, and part time childcare work is the perfect fit for someone like me who needs a more flexible work schedule! Feel free to message me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you!
Hi there! My name is Erika and I have been a nanny for about 4 years now. I have experience with infants (4 months) to 12 years old. Additionally, I'm a 2nd-year graduate student studying to become a Speech Pathologist at UMN where most of my clinical work is focused on pediatrics. I'm CPR certified and was a certified nursing assistant for multiple years. Along with childcare, I have taken additional opportunities for watching pets (dogs, and cats). I'm looking for occasional childcare or petcare opportunities during the evenings or weekends. I would love to form a relationship to become a recurring contact and support for your family! I'm looking forward to hearing from you and setting up a time to discuss opportunities. Thanks!
