"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Hailey $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Hailey and I recently graduated from the University of Minnesota with a bachelors of science degree in environmental science. I am currently taking a gap year before going to get my masters and wanted to work in an environment where I can gain more experience with younger audiences and make an impact on youth! I enjoy reading, hiking, painting, baking, running, and much more. I am available to work Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays anytime between 1-10 pm, Wednesdays 5 am- 4 pm, and Saturdays 12:30-10 pm!
Eloho $50 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm a caregiver with over 10 years of experience caring for kids from infancy through middle school age, and over 10 years of experience caring for seniors as well. I'm also CPR certified, and I've spent 5+ years pet sitting and boarding cats and dogs. I'm warm, observant, and consistent — the people (and pets!) in my care feel comfortable with me quickly, and clients can count on me to stick to routines, follow instructions closely, and pay close attention to each individual's needs. Whether it's soothing an infant, keeping a senior company, or walking a dog, I bring the same level of care every time. I'd love to help support your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Leticia $21 per hour for 1 child
Hi - my name is Leticia and I’m from Brazil. I’m currently studying business at MCTC. I already have a full-job but they’re leaving for spring break (03/24-03/28) and I am looking for child care, pet care, or household services for the time period. I love babysitting and has been my main job for the last five years - and my secondary job since I was 18. From infants to teenagers - including twins and multiple kids. I have had many types of responsibilities during this time - driving to/from activities, meal prepping, helping with homework, crafts, etc. I’ve also worked as household assistant, helping with errands, light cleaning, some cooking. I love to work with dogs and cats and I'm super comfortable around them. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks :)
Sydney $17 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is David. I like bugs, snacks, and playing with our imaginations! I have a decade of experience watching children from newborn-13 years old. Please reach out to me if you have inquiries about my availability and caregiving style.
Marta $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Marta and I’m a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, based out of northeast Minneapolis. I have a car and am willing to travel pretty much anywhere in the metro area. I am comfortable with small children, although no infants at this time due to my lack of experience there, as well as animals and seniors if needed. I have chronic pain but can do light housekeeping tasks and small errands if needed! Overall, I am a very competent and motivated worker and others would be able to attest that. I’m also extremely upbeat, fun, and positive! I’m determined to not let my chronic pain get in the way of my ability to work, so I’m taking proactive measures to manage it! I’m very flexible right now, as I’m only in school part-time. I don’t mind driving kids to sports games and appointments, it’s just lifting heavy objects like a ton of groceries that’s hard for me! Please let me know if you’re interested, thanks. :)
