Alexandra $25 per hour for 1 child

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.

Laura $20 per hour for 1 child

My experience taking care of children started as an older sister that babysat and changed diapers. I babysat for families at my church and in my neighborhood. I became a lifeguard and swim instructor at age 16 and taught 3 year olds to 12 year olds how to swim. I worked with children that had Down syndrome, extreme autism and a 5 year old with no limbs except for a stub as an arm and a foot where a leg normally is. I trained cub scouts to get their life saving merit badges. I have helped with two women in their 90s with dementia. I love cooking and crafts and have many fun hobbies. I am willing to clean and care for animals as well.
