Kenzie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a mom of a 5 year old daughter as of May! Currently we are getting back on our feet just her and I, along with our special needs (IVDD) Corgi, Henree! I love kids with a passion and it’s so fun and rewarding to hear their laughs and see their smiles as friendships are formed. Although I have only babysat and was a nanny growing up starting in middle school and throughout high school, I’m confident in my motherhood era and I would take care of your child(ren) as they are my own! I’m also open to help care for your pets and complete any household chores as well. Thank you for taking the time to read my background information!

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!

I am a fun, caring, God-fearing, trustworthy individual. I come from a Christian background and a big family. I’m currently a Montessori lead teacher and I’ve been in a lead role for a year and a half. Prior to that, I’ve been nannying for 2 years in home before switching to an early childhood center. I recently had a baby girl April 2024, I love my job, but I’m looking to become an independent home caregiver to create a more intentional and focused environment. I’m an active member of my church, and when I’m not at church, I am at family events or at home with my family! I want to use my wisdom to be a part of the development of children and make an impact in their life while helping families. I’m here to serve others! I have CPR, AED, and first aid certification from the American Heart Association. I have some Montessori training as well. In my past I obtained CNA certification, and I’ve worked with the elderly for 3+ years before switching to working with children. My heart is with the children and the elderly. I have experience with ages 0-10; I prefer to work with infants up to ages 4 or 5. I am willing to take on kids over that age if there is an infant or another child. I can do anything needed by the parent. I enjoy all activities! Anything from painting, reading, arts and crafts, language exploration, sign language, and more. Since I have my own infant I would like to open my home to families instead of traveling.
